Finding Size Of A Texture File

[genny27]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any of you know how to get the size of a texture file? At the moment I get the texture file accociated with the geometry, and can get its path, I just can't figure out a way of seeing what size the file at the end of the path is.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Genny.

If by size, you mean the pixel dimensions of a file texture...you can query this directly from the file node in your shader network that is pointing to the file texture you want to query.

CODE
int $fileTextureWidth = getAttr "file1.outSizeX";
int $fileTextureHeight = getAttr "file1.outSizeY";

Hope that helps.

Sorry, by file size I meant size of the file in MB, not dimensions. I should have been more specific!

Size on disk or size when shown?

Size on disk is easy, just ake a system call to querry its size. Its not much use other than guestimating disk usage. As the file size on disk does not correlate to the amount fo memory it uses rendering. Wich really cant be known if its a bot or map file. Other then that it uses up width(rounded to nearest multiple of 2)height(rounded to nearest multiple2)bitdepth*channels.

So no i dont really see much use for such a funtionality even to guesstimate other thing that how much you sue disk in game engines. And in caese of DDS how much vide memoy they end up using. (bit not true for formats liek png, tif, giff iff or other than that.)

So no not uch use for any technical analysyis.
