Portable ZPaint 1.4

Thursday, February 05, 2009 | , , , ,

Welcome to ZPaint, the handy tool for creating 3D-looking elements for websites and software interfaces.

ZPaint is a program specialized in drawing 3D-looking rectangular shapes. It is not an all-in-one solution since it does not provide common image editing functions such as pens or text output. Thus you will probably have to use ZPaint in cooperation with a universal image editor. Also, your image editor will let you save the created graphics in the required format with adequate quality and file size. Data transfer between ZPaint and your image editor is possible using saved bitmap files and via clipboard.

To paint a shape, make the desired settings and then click into the painting area and drag the bounding frame of the shape. When drawing, the position display in the upper right corner changes to display the size of the frame. If the frame you drag is too small to contain the adjusted extrusion depth and corner radius, it will automatically be enlarged.

If you're using ZPaint to enhance your website, feel free to add the ZPaint button "zpbtn.gif" you find in the ZPaint folder; e.g. with the following HTML code:
