Spline Dynamics is a well-known provider of progressive tools for 3D design, and their Proxy Textures plugin for 3ds Max demonstrates this well. This program not only creates version textures, but it does it with the lowest texture memory settings for most objects, allowing maximum resource economy.

Spline Dynamics – Proxy Textures Features

• Automatic texture reduction: Creates low-resolution versions of textures for performance.
• Render time optimization: Only using the original textures at render time increases performance.
• Distance-based optimization: For distant objects, the texture resolution is lessened.
• Texture loading converts textures to lightweight formats such as JPG or PNG. It Can Also handle batch modifications, making adjustments to multiple textures at once or focusing specifically on selected objects. Furthermore, users can set image reduction size, output folder, and other preferences to suit their needs.
