• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

No Texture Sub-Forum ? Help requested

Hi,

Could do with a texture/graphics sub-section.

But, I am looking for a list of resources covering 'tools' for manipulating and converting textures for use in FSDS / 3D Max etc.

I have DXTBMP but am wondering what others are available as I especially need to batch-convert textures to change size of textures, and to mip-map them.

Are there any tools that allow for a graphical interface, rather than command line for example. And, I need to ensure that alpha channels are retained - so the SDK tool is out or starters !

Thnx for any advice.
 
There is a Graphics section under Aircraft Design. In it you find many answers to the very questions you are asking here.

My personal preference is convimx by Martin Wright for GUI batch conversion. It doesn't do any resizing though... Irfan View is good at batch resizing but it would not do alphas, as far as I know.
 
Hi,

I have used XnView as well for batch processing (can be with or without GUI). Not sure if that keeps the alpha channel in all cases though.

And ImageTool from the SDK works perfectly of course.
