Icon / Cursor Image Processing

IC Warlock In my working with cursors and icons recently, I've had the need to be able to process images created outside of RealWorld editors so they can be imported. I wrote IC Warlock in C# (source code and project files included) to help with crop...
heh - yeah. I made a CursorFX version of this as well. It's on WinCustomize. But I prefer good old plain cursors myself. There is less overhead, as support is baked into the OS.
Please use a scaled down image for the language map. It's breaking my browser. 😊
4.5 ★ Nice tech writeup. I enjoy reading descriptions with the hows and whys. Very complete set. Good work!
Yeah. I love the retro computing scene. ANSI art, low color count, big pixels, and all that jazz. 😁
Made with: * POV-Ray (free raytracing software; Google it). * IC Warlock (free image processing software I wrote to process images for cursors and icons; see posts above) * RealWorld Cursor Editor (free cursor editor available on this site)

Modelling in 3D is a pain in the neck for me using modelling software. I have yet to find any modelling software that isn't next to impossible to use or learn. So I model in my head and type it out in POV-Ray as plain text (put a sphere here, scale it, subtract a chunk out of it here, rotate it, apply this texture, etc). Thanks for the kind words all. The POV-Ray sour...
I have updated my website and now have a small write up of now to use IC Warlock. http://www.vtxemu.com/misc.html

These are icons. Not cursors. 😊

RealWorld Cursor Editor Issues.

I use both RealWorld Cursor Editor (RWCE) and RealWorld Icon Editor (RWIE) software. Some concerns. 1) I have been required to uninstall and install these numerous times since I started using them as at some point they fail to launch. This might be d...
No viruses here. I keep my definitions up to date and on active scan and scan on a regular basis. Comodo Antivirus along with Malwarebytes anti-malware and Spybot Search and Destroy. There must be some anomaly with my system and will look into it. Thanks for the response.

Not sure why, it could be my system, but RWIE is also installing on C:/. A work-around for me is to use the portable versions of the RW software and not install at all. Unzip into a clean folder and create a desktop icon.
