maketx?

[super gnu]

its been suggested i try making mutiresolution TX textures from my high res 8 bit textures, using maketx.

i cannot find any info about it online apart from an Arnold instructions page.

a: where do i get it and how do i use it

b: will it give me an advantage in ram usage over converting to a 16 bit multires exr ?

Vlado popped this up in cgtalk:

.tx files work fine in the latest versions of V-Ray with the VRayHDRI texture. You can download a precompiled version of maketx from a number places, for example here:
https://code.google.com/p/osspack32/...x.exe&can=2&q=

It is a command-line tool though, so there is no way to "open" images like perhaps you imagine.

Best regards,
Vlado

hm i found and downloaded it, and followed the commandline suggested on that page.

i get "std::bad alloc" and it crashes.

loathe to spend 9 euros on a script that uses the same application to do the processing... it may well crash too


yes im that tight.

That is a good script, used it several times, a few bugs which I keep meaning to report to them.
