[https://github.com/Lexzach/hlmv-transparent HLMV Transparent] is an easy to use python-based program that allows for the automated removal of the Half-Life Model Viewer background, to form a completely transparent background that complies with the guidelines for the Team Fortress 2 Wiki. The program will also optionally crop the image down to its smallest size possible while retaining all details of the image.

DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM HERE - If you need help setting it up, feel free to contact me on Discord at Lexzach#3215

HLMV Transparent, aka HLMVTP, is an easy-to-use python-based program, developed by Lexzach specifically for the Team Fortress 2 Wiki, that allows for the automatic removal of the background of screenshots taken in Half-Life Model Viewer, to form a completely transparent background that complies with the image guidelines for the Team Fortress 2 Wiki. The program will (enabled by default) also crop images down to their smallest size possible while retaining all details of the image. If you have a 1920x1080 monitor, you can set up HLMV Transparent to automatically take the screenshots when pressing the "s" key. After more than 2 months in development, hopefully it was worth the wait. The program also includes a separate folder and program for mass-cropping transparent images to their smallest size even if they aren't rendered in HLMVTP.

- TLDR Features -
Automatically make transparent images quickly.
Optional feature to control mouse to make screenshotting fast.
Second program to mass-crop .png photos down to their smallest size.
