Question for painters..

[corpse grinder]

What is the best format to save an FS9 .bmp in? The way I am saving them now looks great, but sometimes they show up blurry untill I cycle the views once or twice.

Thanks

I usualy save my textures as DXT3 format with no mip maps.

I normally use the same format as Steve. DTX3 give good performance with a nice quality. When you want the best quality you should save it in 32 bits format, but this is a heavy load on framerates,

Yep. DXT3 with NO mip maps.

best detail with Extended 32 bit 888-8, CG. If you have a weak rig though it will kill your FPS. Does make for better screenshots though.

Justin, I save them in two .bmp formats generally, 888-8 32-bit and DXT3.

For working purposes I save all repaint textures in a layered Photoshop .psd format.
