DTS Benefits

by William James · in Torque Game Builder · 02/01/2008 (4:10 am) · 1 replies

What would be the benefits of using dts files in TGB?

I would like to create game art that has realistic shading and highlighting but after I've spent hours in photoshop I reealize that it just doesnt look like I want it.

Would it be possible to my items in 3dsmax with texture baking and export to dts and use them in game?

You have no lighting benefits in TGE with 3D objects. You can texture bake them, but that doesn't mean that your 3D objects will look right moving between pre-rendered "light sources" where the baking changes.

What would make a lot of sense is to do it in Max and render out your artwork there. Of course, if you have lighting changes and such among the 2D artwork, then it's a problem unless you account for it in the engine in some way.
