Converting 32 bit to DTX3

Featured Replies

What is the easiest way to convert 32 bit to DXT3 for AI aircraft?Any detailed instructions would be appreciated.Thanks,Hollister

MS ImageTool will make the conversion. It's free and comes with the Terrain and GMax Gamepack SDKs.Just open your 32-bit file, click Format and select to format you want, then save under a different name.

Dan,Thank you for the information about the difference between the two formats, 32bit vs. DXT3.Is it difficult to add a sharpening filter to the 32 bitmap? If you have a few moments and would like to explain how to do it I would really like to try it. Thanks again for the information,Hollister

Do you have Paint shop pro?, that is the only paint package I am familar with, but in paint shop pro all you do is, Effects, then Sharpen, and save the resulting bitmap.Dan.
