Hiya

I just dropped 3 textures into the material editor (same time) :

test.png (color/diffuse)
test.s.png (spec)
test.n.png (normal)

And it then makes a

test.gfx
test.n.gfx

But no test.s.gfx ?

Also, the texture for color/diffuse looks different inside the little box in editor then if i drag it manually onto the texture slot (in the little box, the colors seems wrong, looks almost grayed out).

Could you do some test and see if its working, or am i doing something wrong ?

You can explicitly convert a png to gfx with the Converter tool.

On second thought, I seem to be have problems with the mesh editor matrial edit accepting images that I drag into the slots.

you can't use converter for textures on materials

test.n.gfx

that's ok (specular is automatically embedded into test.n.gfx)

Ah okay, didnt find that information anywhere

Thanks.

This would apply the same for dds format as well?
I am trying to understand this process a bit. Im sorry if this has been covered or seems a stupid question.

Peace,

DDS is treated just like all other external formats (BMP, PNG, TGA, ...)

you need to drag and drop all external formats to the ME window, and then GFX files will be generated.
