“Is it possible to export the alpha layers to .DDS? TrueVision 3d only uses .DDS's alpha channel to do transparency for texture splatting and its a pain to have to run the maps through a program I made to transparentify the pngs based on amount of black and white and then open it in photoshop and save as .dds.”

I think it would be a great idea if someone wrote a plugin that was a 3D renderer. — aaron 2006/10/23 08:57
Well sod it, I've done it myself. aaron 2007/03/02 16:55
I'm thinking it would be nice if someone would write an exporter to allow you to export a project to formats that can be pulled into TrueVision 3D easily. (The heightfield to a bitmap file, and the texture to a bitmap file, with filenames that “match”. For example, “testLandscape-HM.bmp” and “testLandscape-TX.bmp” for the heightmap and texture files, respectively. I don't have the resources to write one myself. Mixael 2006/11/11 19:16
Okay, I think I can bash this together quickly. Are there any other requirements (e.g. size must be power-of-two, etc.)? — aaron 2006/11/12 16:27
Here you go! (note this requires an update to L3DT v2.4.2.11, 13-Nov-06) — aaron 2006/11/13 04:13
