#3d coat alpha change size how to#

PNG data is lossless but as i understand there needs to be some processing of that data because it is not data that is directly readable by the GPU like DDS. It is quite interesting and educational to read more on this matter.ĭDS is the prefered format but also losy because with every edit and save information is lost which means that the quality gets lower.ĭXT3 seems to be the prefered compression for color-rich textures but not for alpha because it is either on or off.ĭXT5 has gradient alpha and is thus the choice for water, sky and other gradient textures. I have attached the 3D Coat export settings I am using for GG. I guess we need more info from Lee or Preben on this. dds file I get from 3 Coat is not correct.

dds with mipmaps and both GG Directx 9 and DirectX 11 versions liked it. dds with generate mipmaps but GG does not like it. dds file? I tried opening the 3D coat exported. dds format on export.ĭoes GG need mipmaps in the. It seems that 3D coat does not add mipmaps to the. dds textues exported correctly from 3D Coat. Textures correctly from 3D Coat so I was not seeing the normal map effects in GG. After some more testing I discovered that I was not exporting the I have attached an updated screen shot from GG.

Probably since I am familiar with Gimp and working with layers it made it easier to understand how to use 3D Coat. So far I like the 3D coat interface and work flow, I was able to figure out how to use it with only watching I few minutes of a tutorial. Modeling program I wanted to test how well 3D Coat works UV mapping and texturing a Wings3D model. I know I made some other artistic mistakes as I am learning 3D Coat. Yes I know, I kind of did that on purpose to see more of the metalness in GG so I could tell if Quote: 'Also your model looks good but you need to tone down the edge wear it's a little bit too even and too much of it.
