Yakuza MT Texture Creator is a Windows tool for Yakuza/Like a Dragon game modders and anyone who wants to combine multiple PNG images into a single texture. It allows you to merge up to three PNGs into the RGB channels of one PNG file while providing channel labels compatible with different Yakuza engines.
- Merge three PNG images into a single output PNG:
- Red channel: Specular
- Green channel: Ambient Occlusion
- Blue channel: Specular Power Multiplier
- Automatic alpha handling: Transparent pixels affect channel intensity proportionally.
- Switch between Old Engine and Dragon Engine channel labels.
- Windows OS
- .NET Framework (.NET 8.0)
- PNG input files only
- All inputs have the same dimensions and size
- Optional: Input greyscale images
- Click the Specular, Ambient Occlusion, and Specular Power Multiplier buttons to load PNGs.
- Optionally, switch between Old Engine and Dragon Engine labeling.
- Click Export to generate the combined PNG.
Tip
I recommend to use greyscale images as inputs
Important
- Each color channel is always grayscale. Saving full-color data into channels is not supported.
- Transparent pixels are multiplied with the grayscale channel to maintain correct intensity.
- The program is designed primarily for Yakuza texture modding, but it can be used for any image channel merging workflow.
Note
For general use cases, use Image Combiner & Channel Extractor
