	Onekit Texture Converter  License: Freeware
	Onekit Texture Converter is a freeware tool for 3D game developers. This tool converts PNG format images to JPG images, taking into account the alpha channel presence. However, it's not all this tool can perform. There're also available such features as output size managing and size correctness checking that are required in 3D game development. There’s no need to make an artist or a 3D modeler create JPG textures. It’s okay for them to create and use PNG files. And still you can take the advantages of JPG files in a game after performing a PNG to JPG conversion with the help of Onekit Texture Converter. The artist may incorrectly set the texture dimensions. Say, he can use 1125x1224 textures. Onekit Texture Converter will easily reduce the dimensions to the ones required in 3D game development. In the above case the proportions will be set to 1024x1024. In case a texture has incorrect dimensions, one of the following proportions will be used instead: 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024, 2048x2048, 4096x4096, 8192x8192, 16384x16384. Attention: due to a rational texture proportions principle, Onekit Texture Converter will always reduce texture dimensions to the closest ones used in 3D game development. Say, a 64x63 texture will be reduced to a 32x32 one. Author: Onekit| Date: --2004 | Size: 193 KB

	AWicons Lite  License: Freeware
	User interfaces are getting better and better every year. The most important part of any good graphical user interface is iconic graphics. A small image that takes only a couple dozens of pixels can sometimes have more meaning than a paragraph of text. Due to the nature of imagery perception icons create the strongest associations in human beings. New technologies and higher resolution rates allow developers use high-detail true color alpha-blended icons when designing user interfaces. However creating vivid icons becomes an insurmountable task unless we use the right tools. Lokas Software is proud to offer a complete icon creator toolbox - AWicons! At an unbeatable price you can purchase all the tools you need to create graphically rich icons in one package! AWicons allows searching, creating, editing and managing icons, cursors and other small imagery. The application fully supports Windows XP true color icons. AWicons handles many popular file formats (such as ico, icl, cur, ani, png, gif, bmp and jpg) used to store multiple icons of various dimensions as well as all possible color modes (mono, 16, 256, true-color and true-color with alpha channel)! AWicons Lite icon management feature allows scanning various locations for images, which is very convenient when you do a lot of graphics editing. Being an icon drawing suite AWicons offers popular drawing tools (pen, line, ellipse, polygon, text, colors replace, etc.) and drawing modifiers (such as anti-aliasing, multi-color gradient, transparency, etc.). You can apply various artistic effects to your icons. Among those are 'contrast', 'blur' and many others. AWicons comes with comprehensive help system that includes drawing tips. Even if you have never edited icons before you will find it easy and entertaining to learn-by-play with easy-to-use multilingual interface! Humble price and amazing functionality make this software a must have! Author: Neil Sagitov| Date: 25-02-2004 | Size: 1562 KB

Paint tools include: color replacer, color selector, spray can, pencil, brush, flood fill, text tool, line tool, rectangle, curve and ellipse. For Windows XP icons, you get to use semi-transparency. Launching IconoMaker opens a window with a interface similar to the Windows paint program. You can set IconoMaker to open to a new icon window or nothing. The new icon window shows a grid display with the grid matching the resolution of the icon you want to create. Along the left side are a set of drawing tools typical to most paint programs, including a color picker, eraser, pencil, air brush, paint brush and bucket (flood fill), text, rectangles, ellipses and lines. On the right side of the grid is a color chart (256) to choose from 256 colors. The grid overlay is tabbed, allowing you to open and work on more than one icon, either different sizes of the same icon, or completely different icons. Also shown on the right is a display of how your icon(s) appears actual size. With these tools, anyone can take advantage of the grid overlay and fill in the squares to create an icon that maximizes your artistic skills. And it's free!

	SpreadMsg Lite  License: Freeware
	SpreadMsg Lite is the FREE version of Compuquest, Inc's award-winning SpreadMsg software. The Lite version features an email scanning agent that searches the user's email waiting at their ISP or Exchange Server. EMail scanning and retrieval is supported for POP3 and IMAP email servers. For new messages waiting, it applies user-specified rules, like looking for specific text content, or for email "from" a specific person, or email containing specific words in the "subject", etc. If the user rules are met, wireless or instant messages are delivered or other action is taken, such as: parse and forward all or part of the original email; send a specific file somewhere; launch an external application, batchfile, or script; and more. And, "2-way query and response" features enable the remote user to ask SpreadMsg for specific information, which is then returned to the user using Instant Messaging, delivered to a wireless device, an email destination, or via dialout. Also provided is a sampling of other SpreadMsg software features available in three other upgrade versions of the software. In those features, additional "DataSources" for scanning, rule-application, parsing, and messaging are added. In addition to scanning email, data may be captured in real time from computer files, internet pages, spreadsheet data, other applications running on the user's PC, or live internet datafeeds. User rules act on this data to filter, extract, parse, send out messages, start other applications, etc. Message delivery also can be based on rules such as any change in data value, data above or below a specific numeric level or range, textual content match, repeated periodic timed delivery interval, and more. Powerful "remote control" features allow the user to control and change the configuration of SpreadMsg using a simple email message. External applications can be started or stopped, batch or script files run, and much more. Author: Cliff Scheller| Date: 01-07-2003 | Size: 665 KB
