This release splits the project into two separate desktop apps. Download whichever you want, or both. Each is a self-contained zip: unzip and run the exe, nothing to install.
PZ Icon Maker
PZ-Icon-Maker-1.3.0-win-x64.zip
The original tool. Point it at a mod and it renders each item's 3D model into a correctly named Item_*.png inventory icon at the game's isometric camera, on a transparent background. Live preview, per-icon tuning, weapon attachments, and a headless CLI for batch runs. No Project Zomboid instance, no Blender, no Python.
PZ Survivor Studio
PZ-Survivor-Studio-1.3.0-win-x64.zip
The desktop version of survivor.rcpz.tools, at full parity with the browser app. Build and dress a full survivor, equip weapons, play any of the game's animation clips, and export a still, sprite sheet, or looping GIF. The character and animation viewer that used to live inside the Icon Maker now lives here.
Because it is a native desktop app, it reads mods from anywhere, including installs under C:\Program Files, without the browser file-access restrictions. Optional sign-in and cloud sharing work the same as on the web.
Also in this release
- Item names now show their in-game display names from the game's translation files (vanilla and modded), with a per-item-name language picker.
- Mod discovery is layout-agnostic: point the mod source at
Zomboid/mods,Zomboid/Workshop, or the Steam108600folder and each picks up its mods. - The repository was renamed from
pz-icon-makertorcpz-tools.
