The Bad
* Only creates 256×256 icons/PNG images.
* Output icons are always 350 KB in size.
* You can’t control the icon/PNG image color type.
* Has Mac OS X icons selected by default whenever you open the program.
* Changing some settings only works via slider.
* Lack of any sort of documentation/help section.

I know it’s horrible.. but why?
Do we NEED a program to take a screenshot of a 3D object?
Most of the programs that we use to make these in the first place have the ability to export a snapshot of the model in any format. Then you just set it to “.JPG” 256px by 256px then just rename it .ico.. it works.
If it’s not built into the program there’s an amazing button called “Print Screen” that would let you import the model into paint.
And why icons? It’s just not that widely useful, anyways.
This is not a 30 dollar software. This is not a free software. I should be paid to waste my bandwidth on such a thing.
Looks like a rather harmless toy to have around so I put it on my old machine until I get tired of it. It does make nice icons and they can be quite interesting.
