I have included this in a best app: byte4byte pack suggestion. The pack includes MANY awesome, for their size tools. I am happy to include Aorta, My Rating: Ease: 5/5 very well done Features: 4/5*, super well done, alpha, mipmaps, normals all supported *BUT it needs update to BC6/BC7 to be "current" Design: Well made, not too "needlessly" flashy, but not ugly Support: 4/5*, as to features it could use a 200 to 1000 lines of code update It auto selects "best" dds BC type, so its ideal for the novice user, and the experienced user can appreciate this time saving 99% of the time Overall 4..5*/5, its a near perfect tool, slightly "behind" in current DXT BC type(s) support, as it lacks BC6 & BC7 In my tests a 16K (16384x16384) test png converted to DDS "PERFECTLY", this alone is impressive, 16K files crash much more "commercial" tools sometimes Its equal to "VVVV's" DDS Converter (final v1.4) & Martin Wright's DXTBmp (current update v4.00.96) on a byte4byte level UPX Compressed its: 2,859kb in size as a stand-alone exe Rated by aazard, maker of the HumanStuff EasyBuilderWorkshop
