TGEA - File Formats supported for Textures?
by Nicolai Dutka · in Artist Corner · 11/03/2009 (10:39 pm) · 6 replies
I can't believe I am having such a hard time locating the answer to such a basic question... I have successfully used PNG, JPG, and DDS file formats for textures on a DTS object. Are there any other file formats supported? I'd like to use an animated GIF, but it isn't working. I know I can setup a PNG sequence material, so that will solve that issue, but I still need a list of all supported file formats for DTS object textures please. (Any chance I can just slap on an AVI as a texture?)

you cant use a gif no, however there was someone that had animated textures working, which i believe was from an avi, I think it was gerard, taken on by gg to work on t3d, the videos were going back about 6 months i guess, was in a set of blogs about physx stuff incorperated into tgea...not alot of help i know -_- but there is someone out there that has had either avi, or it might have even been streaming media working as a texture

I don't know more, but I think it's worth looking at it.

There is another format, MNG : Multiple Network Graphic for animated graphic, based on PNG that should be readable in TGEA (it's present in the source).I don't know more, but I think it's worth looking at it.

1. Complete list of supported file formats. (This SHOULD be included with the documentation that came with the SDK, but I don't see it anywhere...)
2. "How to" get a video file on a DTS as a texture. MUST be video (AVI, OGV, etc)... I already have a solution for animated textures.

Thanks so far guys, but what I am really looking for here is 2 things:1. Complete list of supported file formats. (This SHOULD be included with the documentation that came with the SDK, but I don't see it anywhere...)
2. "How to" get a video file on a DTS as a texture. MUST be video (AVI, OGV, etc)... I already have a solution for animated textures.

Also need to know file size limitations... I had a 8192x256 and it crashed the game... I reduced it to 4096x128 and the game loaded.

I don't believe so, no.
