Wonderful application, i stumbled on it while searching for a way to design my own dice for the upcoming Blade runner RPG which will have custom dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/) .

Their dice will have a number + a bitmap on the same face. The bitmap will be a small eye, beside the number, representing a replicant eye from the Blade runner movie.

Playing with your app, i was able to add a bitmap, but i can't seem to be able to keep the number. The bitmap replaces the number. Is there any way to have both Bitmap+Number on a face?

Hey, thanks! That sounds like a fun project :)

What you have to do is to prepare an image that contains both the number and the eye. So, in your case, you'd probably want to create an image for each face (each number) of the dice you intend to make.

Also, I heavily encourage you to use SVGs instead of bitmaps, the result will most likely be much sharper. Bitmaps are raster images, that the app needs to convert to vector graphics. It's better to just use a vector graphics format (like SVG) to maintain high fidelity of images.

I would set it up in a program like paint or something first (or krita or inkscape) with the number and eye together, export as image then use that for the dice face. at least until Igor adds that option because he's amazing.
