This tool allows you to convert and optimize texture files for Oblivion /and Skyrim) automatically. It has full knowledge of the valid texture types and which compression it can use. It also comes with several better algorithms which are more advanced than those present in nVidia exporter. If you want to deploy optimal DDSs this is the tool for it. (nVidias plugin and this tool both are based on the same library, there is no difference in the baseline, but DDSopt adds a few more advanced things).

A stand alone .exe which generates simple normal maps from .tga files. Less powerful than the PS and GIMP plugins since it lacks scaleability and other functions. Also does not generate mip maps and so would need to be combined with DDS Converter 2.1 above.
