About

ImagePacker is a tool for packing individual images into 1 larger image suitable for single-surface 3D sprite systems.
It can also be used to extract standard 2D images into your program.
The tool saves the images along with a definitions file which details each image name, it's position in the pack, it's width/height dimensions, and animation settings.



Features:

* Auto-pack - Just load your images and ImagePacker re-arranges them for you into the smallest size available.
Uses standard sizes such as 32/64/128/256/512/1024
* Clipboard copy/paste for quickly updating/editing the images.
* Basic image functions like flip/rotate/change color/resize
* Set animation parameters
* Code generation via templates
* Save packs as *.bmp, *.png, *.tga, or *.jpg

Includes templates for generating source code suitable for 3D single-surface sprites and 2D images.
The 3D generated code uses SpriteMaster Pro. This a single-surface sprite system loosely based on Sprite Control.

The 2D generated code uses ImageMaster. This lets you load one large image then extract each packed image as required.
