Texture Downscaler
active clay
Why am I getting an error asking me to save my file
The add-on relies on the file path of your current Blender project to know where to save the newly generated textures. If you are working in a brand new, unsaved "Untitled.blend" file, you simply need to save it to your hard drive first.
Does this work with images packed into the .blend file
Yes. It will read the packed image, downscale it in memory, and save the new smaller version externally to the downscaled_textures folder. It will then replace the packed version in your shader node with the new external file.
What happens if a texture is already smaller than the target resolution I picked
The add-on is smart enough to skip it. If you set your target to 1024px, and the script detects a texture that is already 512px, it will bypass that image to save processing time and prevent unnecessary quality degradation.
Will this delete or overwrite my original textures
No! The add-on is completely non-destructive. It creates a brand new folder named downscaled_textures in the exact same directory as your .blend file. It saves the smaller textures there and leaves your original high-res files completely untouched.
