Zify (read "zee-ify") will add depth to icons. As input, it takes:

• A black and white image.
• A Blender 3D template (see design directory).

It then traces the outlines of the black material in the image, and substitutes that for the letter A in the template. The result is then rendered and output as an image.

IN: OUT:

If you have docker, you can run:

./zify_with_docker.sh design/example.blend input/frog.png out.png

If you are willing to install everything mentioned in the docker/Dockerfile file, then you can run:

./zify.sh design/example.blend input/frog.png out.png

You can control some parameters with environment variables:

ZIFY_SCALE=50 ZIFY_SAMPLES=20 ./zify.sh design/example.blend input/frog.png out.png

• ZIFY_SCALE sets the render resolution as a percentage.
• ZIFY_SAMPLES sets the number of samples to make (set to 0 to use the setting for previews in blender).
