Presenting A Tool for Converting Images to Brushes

This is a commandline tool for converting a TGA image to a T3D file with a single brush. The T3D file is currently always called "output.t3d".
The brush is a flat set of polygons that approximates the image.
The image must be black and white. White areas form the shape, black areas become empty.
This is the first release, so there might still be bugs. All feedback is welcome!
Commandline Usage:
"tga2t3d.exe myimage.tga"
(i could have sworn this forum allowed attachments.. well i hope you're okay with rapidshare)
Edit: Recompiled without profiling.

ooOOoo, I like the sound of this! If I was a mapper, this could be quite useful.

If you have any problems with Rapidshare, I've just uploaded the tool to my FTP. I'll keep it there until it can be picked up by Oldunreal, CelticWarriors, Newbies, SkaarjMonuments, etc.

Once any bugs etc (if there are any) are worked out I can see this tool being a permanent fixture on my site, Gatherstone.
Nice job !!

..\System\tga2t3d.exe tgatesti.tga
It created some weird gmon.out instead of output.t3d.
How to use this right?

I accidentally compiled it with profiling enabled. But it should still be created a t3d file. Anyway I edited the top post with the newly-compiled version.
Edit: maybe you have the paths wrong? it depends on what you meant with the "..\System\" part.

The path is right: C:\Unreal227f\System\tga2t3d.exe tgatesti.tga
Edit: Rapidshare download dont seem to work.

Make sure you have CD'd into the same directory as the program and try again. That ususally helps me when some command line programs don't work.

That's how whole DOS works, and therefore the emulation.
