efficient way to resize textures

[Morbid Angel]

I am looking for an efficient way of resizing textures, I cannot use xnview or other similar apps because they don't work with exrs, running photoshop actions takes forever and is not very efficient when dealing with hundreds of maps. What I am looking for is some sort of small application that can take all the textures in the specified directory and resize them to another directory preserving format and naming.

Adome Bridge does a great job

bridge uses photoshop as i mentioned its not an efficient way.

I haven't tryed this before but if you use MAX bitmap Proxies...I think, it copies all the textures with the same name but scale down depending of the parameters that you want to use.

[Morbid Angel]

perhaps. I did not look into this, however you must have those maps loaded in max first. What if I have couple of hundred maps?

hi, i just read, that irfan view is compatible with exr files with the latest plugins...

I used to use ACDSee, but I'm not sure if it does exrs. Best bet might be to find a command line program that can do it

[Morbid Angel]

it can read, not write..

[MoonDoggie]

It actually does really good image resizing and writing. I had no problems when I used to use it with jpg textures.

[Morbid Angel]

again...acdsee does not work with exrs.

[MoonDoggie]

Ah gotcha, just trying to help. I'll look for a program real quick then.

After googling resizing exrs with CLI, I found a program IrfanView. I downloaded it and installed the format plugins from here

and found the command line options here:

Let me know if it works.

Try XNview. Works like a charm. Reads exe.
