Color map effect

Applies a color-map effect on an object or layer.

This works by modifying a reference "color image map" containing all possible colors.

Create your own color map

  • Download the reference color map image:
  • Use an image editor (like GIMP or Photoshop) to tweak the color the reference color image map with some filters. For instance, you can use GIMP Rotate Colors filter.
    • Try some filters on your assets first to get an dea of the end result
    • Once you found the right settings, apply the same filters to the reference color map image.
    • Save it as a new file
  • Use this new image as the color image map for the effect in GDevelop.

Try some ready-to-use color maps

The Mix property controls how strongly the color map is applied: at a low value the original colors mostly show through, at the maximum only the remapped colors are used. Animating it with events is a simple way to fade in a color grading (for example a "poisoned" or "night" tint).
