Fast way to switch Image Texture (RGB) to Float ?

I created a lot of shaders networks with octane image texture for specular and height (Noob). Obviously I ended up using a lot of extra memory because of this. Now I want to replace the image Texture(RGB) nodes to float Image texture.
There is a fast way to do this like in the standalone?
Thank you

You could use the
nodeCast mel or python comand,
this command replace a node by another wile keeping connexion and attributes value where it's possible.
Code: Select all
import maya.cmds as cmd
RGBs = cmd.ls(sl=True, typ="octaneImageTexture")
for RGB in RGBs:
GREY = cmd.createNode("octaneFloatImageTexture")
cmd.nodeCast(RGB, GREY, f=True)
cmd.delete(RGB)
just drop this script in a shelf as a python button,
use it to replace every selected RGB image texture node by a float image node.
