Converting AI traffic to DXT3s

Featured Replies

The important thing here is that ALL textures be the same format. You just can't mix 32 bit, DXT1, DXT3 textures together. ALL AI will need to be converted to one format.This was the cause of the "Blurries" in the FREEflow Ultimate Florida scenery. Except that the FFFL it was AI ships.Joe W.

That really isn't true. I've had a mix of all formats and there is no effect on sharpness, other than non-mipped textures retaining sharpness no matter what the distance, which really doesn't look realistic. Todd

Thankyou for the reply,Still no luck. This is the path to my working folder,"C:Documents and SettingsJames DriscollMy DocumentsDownloadsCF9AC Texture Conversion KitWorking Folder",my image tool is in the same folder.

No, that really is true - YOU might not have a problem, but it's best to avoid them but not mixing and matching. ALL GMax objects should have DXT1 or 3 +mips to avoid texture blurring. ALL textures on the same model (aircraft) should be the same format. Rules may be less rigid with non-gmax models, and terrain.

Okay, I guess I need to clarify. I try to avoid 32bit like the plague, but a few have slipped in here and there, without any adverse blurring effects. I only use DXT1 with mips now, but keep lightmaps at DXT3 because of the necessary alpha channel. The only real problem I've had with blurries is with AI models that have more than 1 texture file. But that is on MY rig. YOUR experience may vary.Todd

Not true for you.

Hi,If you look at the DOS screen you posted you are only at the James Driscollfolder. You have to change to your working directory and then run the imagetool command.CD My Documents (enter)CD DownloadsCD CF9CD AC Texture Conversion KitCD Working Folderimagetool ...Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___
