DXT Issue

[DaleRFU]

Good Evening All,

I have an issue with DXT, When I open a texture that is 4096x4096, it automatically re-scales it to 2048x2048. Any ideas as to how I can stop it doing this or if there is a better tool?

Kind Regards
Dale

Not sure about it, do you mean DXTBMP? May be there a size limitation because it's a very old prog?
Image tool may be a good freeware option...

That is a known issue with DXTBmp. BMP format files which are 4096 res size are reduced to 2048.

DDS formats or others don't seem to be affected.

See

Depending on what you want to do you could use the SDK Imagetool, or Gimp / Photoshop. Although I have to say, the Alphachannel handling of DXTBmp appears much more comfortable, at least to me.

Cheers,
Mark
