Aorta is a utility for creating high quality DDS textures. you can made it from every imaga you can use also you can save dds to png

(note aorta does NOT rescale your imaga so you must do that with gimp piant (the standerd paint added on windows is possible)

icon scales width 76 - height 76 (pixel)

static portraits width 152 - height 235 (pixel)

wireframe width 140 - height 140 (pixel)

(note 2 aorta cant create wireframes @ grayscale you must use gimp paint or photoshop  bofore you can use aorta to convert it to dds

note 3 how to make shield wireframes create a white stroke around the wireframe, 2 pixels wide and save it. Then I add a second stroke around the first, a little bit darker and save it. Then a third one around the first. description a PM from soulflisher and my (he using photoshop)
