Need max script! PSD extension swapper
Any of you script monkeys want to show off? I love painting in .psds but like to bring them down to bmps, jpgs and tgas.. nowadays its getting really time consuming to do all the repathing! I would like to see a script that looks at all the maps in a max scene (or selected objects if you want to be really nice), finds any… -
Re: Need max script! PSD extension swapper
This seems like this might be a fairly easy max script. I -might- look into it. EDIT: working on it now, :P. I'll be able to reuse some material handling from another script I wrote, so it shouldn't take -too- long. -
Re: Need max script! PSD extension swapper
I had a wee think on the way home from work tonight. It's not a hard script to write in theory. Is it all the materials in the scene, or all the materials in the material editor?

Re: Need max script! PSD extension swapper
Hmmm. Why re-invent the wheel? If I understand you correctly, you just want to replace all the .PSD extensions with a different one.

Re: Need max script! PSD extension swapper
nice. Oh, the reason I use PSD is because I use Ghostpainter... and it lets me paint directly on only one layer at a time... very nice (but awkward) program. I wouldnt use layered tiffs because the end result needs to be small and FTP'able. Thanks all for your help and I hope you enjoyed the mental work out! Dave… -
