The Mip Explorer is a tool for tech artists. It gives you quantifiable information on how much information is stored in each mip map of a texture, enabling you to make informed decisions when adjusting the resolutions of textures for big projects.
This way, it helps you to find needlessly large textures that don't lose noticeable details when using smaller mip maps. It can be used in 2 ways:
1. Select individual texture files to plot a graph of how much detail is stored in each mip map.
2. Process a directory to get a list all textures, sorted by the information present in mip 0.
The Mip Explorer is written in Python and mostly platform-agnostic. It was developed and tested on both Windows and Linux, and should work on MacOS as well.
