Export tiff format

[seafire6]

would it be possible to export the texture map in tiff format?

Hi Seafire,

Thanks for your request. If you don't mind me asking, what application are you using that requires textures as TIFFs? Unless you require HDR colour maps*, I can't see any advantage to TIFF over PNG or BMP.

Best regards,
Aaron.

* Which L3DT doesn't generate, in any case.

Sorry for the delay in replying, been out of town for a bit. I make terrains for the serious game/simulation VBS2 and the terrain generation program it utilizes (Visitor4) can incorporate heightfield data in DEM, DTED,GeoTIFF, or XYZ format. I've been having trouble getting the XYZ export plugin to work with build 2.8 and was just wondering about the other formats . The xyz plugin worked great for me previously, I've requested help with the plugin issue elsewhwere in the forums. The Visitor 4 program can also utlize orhto/satellite imagery (for which I use the texturemap) in PNG or GeoTIFF formats as well.
