Effects Texture - What Format Should They Be?

Featured Replies

Just by chance I was going to replace some effect textures and noticed that the textures were normal bitmap textures. Not DXT. So are effect textures supposed to be normal bitmaps? Would it be better if they were DXT? Please advise and thanks!Mark

It depends on what you care about? If you have a slow system (rig) use dxt.If you care more about detail go with 32 bit and you have a well running sim rig. :( Also,some textures need to be in a certain format or they cause the sim to crash. :(
