I want to what good tools are availble (freeware if possible,
shareware if necessary) for creating icons for my Cocoa and Carbon
apps.
I tried serching google and versiontracker, but (especially on Google)
I got so many matches on the word Icon that the search was for all
practically purposes useless.
On the free (but harder to use) side is the 3D renderer POV-ray. I
hand coded a .pov file in BBEdit and ran it through POV-ray to create
the icon for my MacOSaiX program (the page linked below shows the
icon). Once you have the image to your liking you can change the
texture on all objects to a matte black and generate your mask. Takes
a lot of tweaking to get just right but you end up with gorgeous
results.
