Generating card images for all cards
by Nate » 13 Feb 2024, 14:45
Is there software that can generate images for every MTG card to date?
I don't much care if the borders match the physical cards perfectly. Also I don't need to generate multiple versions of the same card. I just need one card image per card, for ALL cards.
Some 16 years ago I wrote PHP scripts to generate card images for printing proxies and showing card images in my deck builder software. I'm resurrecting the deck builder so now I'd like card images for it. Pre-generated images are best because they can be displayed very quickly.

FORGE does that. It downloads an image for each card.

Great, I'll check it out. I wonder where it downloads them from.
FORGE uses my FOSS, libgdx. Cool!
EDIT: In FORGE game settings, content downloaders, there are buttons to download LQ and HQ images. Looks like LQ will take 3-4 hours. On Windows it puts them in:
C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Local\Forge\Cache\pics\cards
The LQ images are 487x680 which is plenty big enough. The images are coming from:
https://downloads.cardforge.org/images/cards/
