DTS Texture formats

by Chris Labombard · in Artist Corner · 04/05/2005 (1:11 pm) · 3 replies

Hi, I remember reading in a doc somewhere that you can only use bmp textures for your dts objects... But bmp's don't have an alpha channel. Is there another file format I can use, or am I just stuck without alpha?

    You can use .png's.

    You can also use JPG, but no alpha there either. PNG is the way to go if you want translucent objects

    Thank you... Im a programmer and my artists have no Torque experience so I had to do a little digging to find the answers I needed.... This community is great.
