[Opensim-users] tools for translating tif-based COLLADA (.dae) into jpg-based COLLADA?

[Wade Schuette]

Wow, Han, I was wondering how to do that myself.  I created a Google 
Sketchup model, and being really clever, I used lossless .png files 
instead of lossy .jpgs.   It was beautiful ... and over 10 meg in size.  
Then I realized I needed to replace the png with jpg but didn't realize 
the collada.dae itself could be edited to pick up the changes.

Great info. ? ??!

It sounds very highly "scriptable", to automate this.  Lots of programs 
will convert image formats.
Probably some nice PERL script would do it all.     If I get tired of 
working on what I'm supposed
to be working on, and look for something to do to avoid work,  maybe 
I'll write it for you (us)
if no one else has yet.
