Gimp PLT Plugin (Cross platform)

Gimp plugin for loading/saving plt files.

• file-bioplt_win64.zip for 64bit Windows only
• file-bioplt_linux64.zip for 64bit Linux only
• file-bioplt_all.zip, python version (cross platform, slower)

The latter is written in Python and will run under Windows, Linux and MacOS (64bit or 32bit), but it is slower. For Windows 32bit there is the older win32 version.

Installation

Gimp 2.8

Linux: Unpack and place it in  ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/

Windows: Unpack and place it in  C:\Users\USERNAME\.gimp-2.0\plug-ins  or  C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\

MacOS: Unpack and place it in  $HOME/Library/Application Support/Gimp/2.8/plug-ins/

Gimp 2.10

Linux: Unpack and place it in  ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/

Windows: Unpack and place it in  C:\Users\USERNAME\Appdata\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\

Usage

Import/export plt files with File -> Open/ File -> Export As  (similar to the win32 plugin)

Plt files contain 10 layers of [0,255] grayscale: 'skin', 'hair', 'metal1', 'metal2', 'cloth1', 'cloth2', 'leather1', 'leather2', 'tattoo1', 'tattoo2'. The plugin will look for layers with those names when choosing which layers to export (case insensitive). As plt files have no alpha the data on the bottom layers is ignored, when a top layer already contains data.

The option "Plt: Create Layers" under "Tools" will create all of the above 10 layers or add the ones that are still missing.
