Alphamaps not exported to 8bit bmp or png
Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2006 7:16 pm
Seems to me that alphamaps exporting start to experience problems (particularly with png) when you try to export them to 8bit files.
1) 8 bit bitmaps throw an exception.
L3DTio_SaveImage_FI error
- unsupported FI type for BYTE
calc_TX_GenSplatAlphaMaps error
- Failed to save image file
2) 8 bit png doesnt give an error, but the alphas are not visible in any program including dxtex.exe (directx texture tool located in the dx SDK\Utilities\Bin\x86 directory) even when clicking the View alpha channel only option.
