Hi, thre are some tool to converting texsxture to .rat? i didn't use mantra before but my question if is there is a tool like arnold and renderman do

you can use iconvert [www.sidefx.com] command either from shell or TOPs

how i can use it? there is some documentation about it? i never used command line

Documentation to the command is linked in previous post

If you prefer not using shell or TOPs you can also use COPs or MPlay to convert images to .rat in more visual but (less scale able) way

for documentation i mean something that explain how use that command on top or something, that i'ts just a reference

type the command into the shell and it will output a message explaining how to use it.

As for setting up an automation script in TOPs, there's a node for searching for files with a pattern, and the shell node lets you build and run a command. Combine them and you can set up a system to convert all the textures in a folder matching a pattern to rat or mipmapped exr with imaketx. Good luck

for anyone looking into using TOPs for generating .rats for an entire library, here is a link for how to do it: https://youtu.be/L51DUKjrkIo?t=658 [youtu.be]
