Add .tx to tiled exr converter

[Macker]

Can we please have the .tx/tiff 8 bit option added to the tiled exr converter?

The overwhelming majority of my scenes do not use 16 or 32 bit textures. The only exception is when I light the scene with an HDRI.

Does vray support 8 bit tiled tx files yet?

You can use the maketx tool for this. I don't think we will be adding the option to our EXR converter, at least for the moment. You can get a 64-bit precompiled version of maketx here:

We have supported 8-bit tiled tx files for a few years now.
