tdlmake.exe crashes with tif textures

MGCJerry

I've had Studio 4.8 Pro for a day and it handles most of my *old* content fine. However, I have one thing that fails render correctly and throws errors. After looking at the log, it seems like there is a problem with tif textures. I have an old (poser 4 days) outfit that issues errors and doesnt render correctly. Is there some tweaks I can do or am I just better off converting the texture to jpg or png?

My previous Studio expereince is from 1x & 2x, so I'm new to any modern version of Studio 4.8.

My log says...

Are they RGB or CMYK tiffs?

MGCJerry

Only information I could get was from gimp. "Color Profile" is sRGB.

They should work then...but it would probably be easier to just convert them to png. 

The tdl format is a mipmapped tif with a special 'header' that denotes it as a 3DL file.  The tif format should be supported fully by 3DL, except if those files are old enough, there could be problems.

These textures are really old August ‎25, ‎2002 is the date on the file timestamp. I just went ahead and converted them png, and updated all my poser files to point to the new filename. Renders fine now in Studio. Now if I could convert ALL tifs and update all my libraries and scenes without having this a manual process... I could craft a script in php to do it without much difficulty, but memory usage and script time would be a bear.

Thanks for the help guys!

photoshop can do this, gimp im guessing could possibly do it too.

and I'm almost positive you could do it in infranview

You'd want to be careful about batch converting - some tiffs might be 16-bit displacement maps.
