Texture Converter

A batch texture conversion tool for 3D render engines. Built with Python and PySide6.

Features

• Batch conversion of textures to render engine formats
• Drag & drop support for files and folders
• Recursive folder scanning for bulk operations
• Progress tracking with detailed logs
• Hybrid conversion using Python OpenImageIO with CLI fallback
• Configurable tool paths via Settings UI

Supported Formats

Engine	Output	Conversion Method
Arnold	.tx	OpenImageIO / maketx
Karma (Houdini)	.rat	OpenImageIO / iconvert
RenderMan	.tex	txmake (CLI only)
Redshift	.rstexbin	redshiftTextureProcessor (CLI only)

Input formats: PNG, TIFF, EXR

Installation

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Texture-Converter.git
cd Texture-Converter
pip install -r requirements.txt

Optional: OpenImageIO

For Python-native conversion (faster, no CLI dependency):

pip install OpenImageIO
