Collect Images in material

Submitted by JokerMartini on Mon, 2011-11-14 08:26

Is there an easy way to collect all the images used within a material?

for example:

source_mtl=meditMaterials[1]
- diffuse = image.jpeg
- bump = image2.png
- opacity = images5.png

delete

is there a way I can delete it?

bitmapsArr = getClassInstances BitmapTexture asTrackViewPick:on
 
for tx in bitmapsArr where doesFileExist tx.anim.filename != true do
(
  --delete tx since the image is invalid
)

Thank you Anubis for the

Thank you Anubis for the quick response. I'm working on a easier way of duplicating a shader and swatching out images randomly from a desired folder.

Thanks

mat = meditMaterials[1]
btxs = getClassInstances BitmapTexture target:mat asTrackViewPick:on
imgs = for tx in btxs where doesFileExist tx.anim.filename collect tx.anim.filename
