IDIA – Convert Fits datacubes to DDS

Scripts to convert spectroscopic datacubes to DDS format for use in VR and other visualisation environments.

slice.py uses Astropy and PIL

The makedds command relies on the texassemble utility included in DirectXTex. It takes a series of .tiff images as input and outputs a 3-dimensional DDS file of the same bit-depth as the input images.

Texassemble.exe has to be built with Visual Studio 17 or clang for Windows v9. Adding the executable to the Windows PATH makes is executable from anywhere.
