   Are these applications an evolution of the various BMP2DAT programs I’ve played around with over the years? It seems that what you’ve got here is greaty more sophisticated, but the idea seemed similar enough to be worth asking about.

So, I know of at least four tools to convert images to LDraw stickers:
  1. BMP2DAT
  2. img2sticker (*)
  3. Bitsticker
  4. Sticker Generator
Plus you can make stickers from text with txt2dat.

I think this is a case of convergent evolution, not direct descent from BMP2DAT. In fact, I wasn’t really aware of BMP2DAT or img2sticker before writing Bitsticker.

So in conclusion, I don’t think there is a direct relation between any of these tools, just a similarity as you note. Take your pick!
