[Plugin] Texture Resizer (1.5.6) — updated 15.05.2013
-
I apologize for asking such a silly question, it's pretty obvious what this plugin does but I would like to ask anyway. My pictures that I have texture my model with in sketchup for Google Earth is making my file size too large to be accepted in Google earth. Very frustrating and i am running out of ideas,i had came across this plugin, is this something that would work for me not quite sure how it works? so do I finish my model first then download the plugin? I am new to these plugins and also new to geo modeling, any help would be appreciated John

Hi,
As Gully already said this plugin works be decreasing the size of texture images (or quality). It can not relieve you from the task of efficent modeling, ie. only bringing images into SketchUp that you actually need.
You can download it whenever you want. You should run it after you finished the model (you can keep an original version and use the plugin to make a lightweight degraded version). -
Hello Aerialius , im a sketchup user and i have finish my model and have tried to upload my model into the sketchup preview , and am sorry to say that ( KMZ too large. In order to include them in Google Earth, we convert uploaded SketchUp files like yours to another format: KMZ. The KMZ file size that we generated from your SketchUp file is too large. We recommend simplifying your model, splitting it into two or more models or reducing the resolution of your image textures. When you're done, try re-uploading )i had even unlocked the google terrain to lower the file size to 8,808 with the same affects, so im ready to use the plugin not familiar on how to use these , would you mind helping me, do i download the ImageMagick.zip first or is this the texture resizer? how do i get it into sketchup? sorry im just new to this John

lookin for help i have downloaded the ImageMagick and the resizer into my su plugin folder and im not sure what im to expect is there a supposed to be a icon? i have win 7 not quite sure if i did this properly can some help me? thanks john

hi
In the 'Sketchup Menu' you should have 'Plugins' with a drop down item 'Texture Resizer'.
If it can't find 'ImageMagics' it will ask you for the 'path' once you clicked on it.
then follow the instructions in the first post...

thank you for your reply i guess i did something wrong, the texture resizer isn't there in the plugin drop down
-
yes i was able to load the resizer and tried to use it on my model, it wiped away the textures replace them with white faces , it was set by default at 50%, did this twice and tried to use the limit texture size with same results. is there something that im missing? thanks john
-
I thought that I try the plugin to optimize some models that ware sent to me but I ran into a problem. When trying to run "Apply" I get the following error:
Error #<NameError:uninitialized constant AE::Bounds.>
I'm using SketchUp 8.0.3117 with Texture Resizer 1.4.0 and ImageMagick 6.8.0.
Any clues to what the problem might be?
-
Oh, thanks, I didn't notice that when testing. It should be AE::TextureResizer::Bounds.
I fixed it in version 1.4.1. -
Just tried this - wanted to ensure texture where no larger than a given size.
I set percentage to 100% as I wanted to keep textures smaller at their original size - then I enabled Limit texture size.
I got this error:
Error #<NoMethodError:undefined methodempty?' for nil:NilClass.>` -
Strange that there isn't any backtrace...
-
I found the bug and fixed it. The backtraces became lost because of a rescue Exception.
-
Thanks for that.
Though ... I broke it again...

ComponentInstance.entitieswhich doesn't exist in the API - all though a few plugins add this method to the ruby classes. -
Changed line 253 to:
definition.entities.each{|e| block.call(e, s*scale)}Working!

Here's the list of material in a model where I needed to size down the textures:

Why is that? There was no messages about this file.
-
It seems SketchUp's texture writer does not write psd files. In that case, I'll probably force a default extension.
I have no idea what could cause to skip Material15. Is it reproducible? Can you send me a file with that material and its geometry (and group nesting...).
-
It's 8MB (after removing the two PSD textures)
PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. -
I think I have fixed it now.
Also the texture writer can export PSDs (I have no idea why these failed), but it can't convert psd into other formats by setting a different file extension.
-
@aerilius said:
but it can't convert psd into other formats by setting a different file extension.
Does the texture resizer change the format?
-
Here not.
But the underlaying ImageMagick.rb has the option to (temporarily) change lossy formats into lossless bmp. I use that in another plugin, mainly because bmps process much faster.
