Lines 3D is a simple program to display 3D objects in the form of a mesh constructed from lines and circles. The program reads simple text files (.rot), which makes it very easy to make and edit 3D models. The program is very small, requires no installation and needs no extra programs or API's to run. This makes it ideal for sharing 3D files over the internet, since all you need to do is send the program with your .rot text file.

It can also change colours that are not exactly the same by adjusting the tollerance, which can be used to edit colours in photos. Now includes bulk image editor.

Resize allows you to resize images. Reduction is done by pixel averaging and image sharpening, which gives much better quality than sub-sampling. The program allows you to resize a batch of images and also convert to JPEG. This is useful for creating thumbnails for web pages or resizing the frames for animated gifs.

Capture

The capture screen rectangle application adds a tray icon that provides functionality for capturing a rectangular area of the screen. This prevents you having to capture the whole screen or a window and then clipping it afterwards.
