pynvtt 0.0.2

A simple Python wrapper for NVTT3 (NVIDIA Texture Tools 3)

pyNVTT

About

A simple Python Wrapper for NVTT3 library, useful to convert most relevant images formats to DDS while doing modding or game development.

---

Installation

pip install pynvtt

Examples

Minimal PNG to DDS conversion.

from nvtt.surface import Surface
from nvtt.compression import CompressionOptions
from nvtt.output import OutputOptions
from nvtt.context import Context

surface = Surface("texture_01.png")
compression = CompressionOptions()
output = OutputOptions()
output.filename("texture_01.dds")
ctx = Context()
ctx.compress_all(surface, compression, output)

You can also use the EasyDDS class for your convenience.

from nvtt.easy_dds import EasyDDS

EasyDDS.convert_img("texture_01.png")

This will create a DXT1 DDS with default mipmap generation with the same name in the same path.

Converting a Pillow image.

from nvtt.surface import Surface
from nvtt.compression import CompressionOptions
from nvtt.output import OutputOptions
from nvtt.context import Context
from nvtt.enums import Format
from PIL import Image

img_surface = Surface(Image.open("texture_01.png"))

compression = CompressionOptions()
compression.format(Format.DXT1)

output = OutputOptions()
output.filename("texture_01.dds")

ctx = Context()
ctx.compress_all(img_surface, compression, output)

This will create a DXT1 DDS with default mipmap generation.
