MS to resize an object's texture

Rokhound

Hi everybody!

I'm new here and totaly new to maxscripting.

I've looked around and it seems possible but no clue how to get
started. I'm looking for a script that will allow me to resize the bitmap
texture of a selected object.

For example a cube in scene has an 512x512 diff map assigned to it
and I would like to bring it down to 128 x 128

If anyone can steer to a right direction it would be much
appreciated.

Thank you!

MaxScript is not the right tool for this. It's too slow handling image files.

Maybe you can try using render to texture to render a smaller image size (with MaxScript).

It kinda depends, though. If you don't need bilinear filtering on the resize (ie, basically nearest neighbour resize), you can just copy to a new bitmap:

oldBitmap = openBitmap oldbitmapPath
newBitmap = bitmap 128 128  --the new bitmap size
copy oldbitmap newbitmap

This basically does a straight resize with nearest neighbour. It's fast, but whether nearest neighbour filtering is sufficient for your needs is up to you.

Thank you! Will post back feedback as soon as I try it out.
