I have joined a few freelance projects where it was necessary to purchase asset packs to expedite the development process. Texture files seemed to come in varying sizes and quality. To reduce performance costs I have had to manually resize several textures both inside and outside of the game engine. This is a tedious process and I started thinking it should be possible to automate this process.
