What do you recommend for quick conversions for DDS to TGA and back to DDS?

 

DDS Texture Converter

This seems easy to use.

Cathedral Assets Optimizer can also convert from TGA to DDS.

Is UBE to 3BA possible? Since only player character or followers use UBE, there's still merit to reverse conversions in some cases

Curious how one would go about converting these to CBBE/3ba: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/169350?tab=posts. Heck, I'll even put 10 bucks for it lol

With some tweaking yes, but if you're asking the question, then it's beyond the scope of easy explanation. My goal in modding has always been to progress technology. UBE 2.0 is the next gen body. OStim is the next gen framework. I'm not in the business of going backwards.

Ah fair enough. I just wanted to know if it's possible and if someone's willing to do it, I'll even pay some lol

If you encounter a situation on Windows 11 where the script runs successfully (the text ‘Baking completed successfully.’ appears), but there are no files in the New_Textures folder, you need to make sure that you have nvtt for Windows installed. Then you will need to find the following lines in the script:
 

nvdecompress = base_dir / "nvtt" / "nvdecompress"

and
 

nvcompress = base_dir / "nvtt" / "nvcompress"

And change them to

 

nvdecompress = base_dir / "nvtt" / "nvdecompress.exe"

and
 

nvcompress = base_dir / "nvtt" / "nvcompress.exe"

 

That is, just add .exe. And everything will work!

Could you please forward this to me? Thank you very much.

Hey, just wanted to share that this tool works great with AMD GPUs too! Here's what I did:

1.) Install everything as normal. If you're on Windows 11, don't forget to add ".exe" to the nvcompress and nvdecompress lines in the script (as mentioned earlier in this thread).

2.) In Blender, go to Edit → Preferences → System. Under "Cycles Render Devices", switch to HIP and enable your AMD GPU.

3.) In the script, find this block:

# Enable GPU (CUDA)
cprefs.compute_device_type = 'CUDA'
cprefs.get_devices()
for device in cprefs.devices:
    if device.type == 'CUDA':
        device.use = True
scene.cycles.device = 'GPU'

And replace it with:

# Enable GPU (HIP - AMD)
cprefs.compute_device_type = 'HIP'
cprefs.get_devices()
for device in cprefs.devices:
    if device.type == 'HIP':
        device.use = True
scene.cycles.device = 'GPU'

That's it! Everything else works exactly the same. Hope this helps anyone with an AMD GPU. Thanks for the amazing tool! ❤️

See, now that's what I'm talking about! I'll have to link this when I have some time.

 

Maybe when I am able I'll finally rewrite this to auto determine stuff, but it was only supposed to be a quick hacky tool, but too much else to do first.
