1. Make sure Java is installed(you know, this smoking coffee cup symbol)
2. Download the .zip
3. Unpack the .zip and copy the .jar file in any directory
4. Double-click to execute. If this doesn't work, try with "Open with". If it still does not work, make it executable (chmod + x in Unix)
5. Create an image containing transparent parts.
6. You may also create a depthmap(greyscale), but this one must have at least the dimensions as the image
7. Also, you can create different images/depthmaps for both sides
8. But make sure they have same dimensions
9. Click the "Select Image" button
10. Afterwards, you may enter a filename for where to save(note : ".obj" is appended automatically !)
11. As well as you may choose a directory to save in
12. Then, click the "Create OBJ" button and enjoy your model !

I'm used to bugs XD

On youWould it be possible to create an object using two images? for example, an image of the front and one of the side?
