[add-on] Swap between low to high resolution textures for rendering

Coding Released Scripts and Themes
1

Hi,

I recently made a heavy scene (with 168 x 15K images). In order to work in good conditions and optimise the project, I made a few scripts. This is one of them. It swaps between low to high resolution textures for rendering.

1 - Create a low resolution version of your images, add “low_” to the name of the file (image.jpg --> low_image.jpg) and put it in the same folder(s) of the original.

2 - Use the low res for texturing

3 - Activate the add-on.

Hope it helps

great. I won’t be using this right now, but I have had this issue in the past. I thought it was just me and I just didn’t know of a blender ‘Proxy texture’ option. great idea, should be a built in feature.
