...or KAvEAT, for short. (like "caveat")

**This is a program that automates the process of converting images into hologram textures.**
|
|
It automatically handles scaling and properly formatting your image to get exactly the right quality you want. It even splices large textures (>256px in any direction) so they will appear the highest quality possible within the Worlds client, no additional tweaking necessary.
|
|
Simply put your frames into the executable and it will do the rest. <u>Make sure you have COMPIMG.EXE in the same folder (all lowercase).</u> This tool will <u>**overwrite**</u> any files that get in the way so you should set aside a dedicated folder for your work to take place.
