Title: Skybox problem
Post by: Nyctaeus on October 25, 2010, 11:34:24 am
Hi. I have a problem with skybox textures. I converted them from tga to dds with DXT5 and... Now something is wrong. Textures are deformed.

All converted textures are broken now. I have a backup, but I don't know how to do it correctly. Maybe a wrong format or something? Please, help.

Ummm.....Kinda hard to tell, really. How is it supposed to look? And what resolution are your tga files in?

I'm sort of guessing that that's what he meant. I would recommend trying dxt1 (It's a skybox, you don't need any alpha), or if that fails, u888 or u555.

It works :D! One of U formats works. Thanks for the help guys.

those look really nice! I assume that flare in the first screen was added in in post production?
