| − | == Category Texture Types ==
| |
| − | [[Category:TextureTypes]] lists the texture map types for games. The most common types are [[DiffuseMap|Diffuse]], [[EmissiveMap|Emissive]], [[NormalMap|Normal]], [[TransparencyMap|Opacity]], and [[SpecularColorMap|Specular Color]]. The types you use will be dictated by the asset itself, and the Art Direction for the project.

| − | == Texture File Formats ==
| |
| − | Texture file formats come in two basic categories: those that are used at runtime (in-game), versus those that are used by artists in general but have to be converted to be used "live" in-game. The main reasons for converting are to reduce memory and to store [[MipMap|mips]].

| |
| − | [[Category:TextureFormat]] is for general-use file formats:

| − |
| |
| − | * (BMP, EXR, GIF, HDR, JPEG, PNG, PSD, TGA, TIFF, etc.)
