Hi guys,
A while ago, i needed to find a way to put more characters and clothings in a single scene, but we allways end up out of RAM, because of the high resolution of the texture MATs for each char. and clothing item. This high resolution is useless when you have 3 chars in a scene, far away, that you can't even see the pixels of the brows anyway. So i created a software that makes a LOW-resolution copy of all .pz2 and MAT textures (leaving the originals intact) so you can load much more stuff in a single scene.
It's here:

Resized textures take only 25% of the original RAM, is a bilinear scaledown (like photoshop does) and saved in a 90% quality JPEG 50% smoothing. Every responsible Poser/DAZ/Carrara user need this software. (For PC only at the moment, i'm working on the MAC version). Give me comments if should hurry on the MAC version, or if i should program more options (like the batch folder process)
