Hey Jonathan! Long time indeed, hope you've been well! Thanks for all the info on ptex... sounds a bit more complicated than I hoped. I actually tried loading in a Mari ptx file into nuke, and it seemed to be pulling in the geo but not any image data. I also noticed that the original geo (2 mb in size) became a 60 mb ptx file with only 1 2k texture channel. Curious what would happen on a large model...
In any case I do hope Foundry is thinking about implementing this -- it is a great feature of Mari to be able to paint on UV-less models, potentially a huge time saver. I will definitely ask! -Darren On 2013-10-11, at 4:23 PM, Jonathan Egstad wrote: > Whoops, I mean Darren… see, it has been a long time... :) > > On Oct 11, 2013, at 4:13 PM, Jonathan Egstad wrote: > >> Hi Darin! >> Long time no hear. >> >> I doubt it - ptex files are not normal 2D textures so Nuke's current 2D >> structure won't support them out of the box.
