# zify

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.

## Running zify

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).
