Foliage Replicator

#1 www.Google.dds

#2 James, thanks I guess I could have looked that up myself instead of wasting forum space ;)

At least this is something I can do easily so I can use the foliage files I created.

#3 You can still use .png files too, if you wish.

#4 i tried using .png files and they wouldn't show up that was when i looked and saw there were .dds files as well. But then again i probably goofed on something so I will give it a go again!

#5 The foliage files in the "game/art/environment" directory are .png files -- they work for me. The FPS kit has several more examples than the template does.

Even though .png is still an option, chances are that with todays hardware performance will be better with DDS

#6 Michael I saw those assets. I was trying to use my own png file that i created and that is what I can't seem to get to show up. I made a small grass png file size 256 by 256.

If 256 by 256 is too big or small what size should I be creating for foliage to use with the replicator?

#7 Size shouldn't matter, so long as both dimensions are a power of 2. They don't necessarily have to be square either (I don't think).

What did you use to create the files with? Some apps have "issues" with transparency in the .png format.

#8 I used pd particles and saved it as a .png file.
