Category Texturing
This category covers texturing for games: texture map types, texturing techniques, file formats, etc.
Category Texture Types
lists the texture map types for games. The most common types are Diffuse, Emissive, Normal, Opacity, and 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 mips. is for general-use file formats:
- (BMP, EXR, GIF, HDR, JPEG, PNG, PSD, TGA, TIFF, etc.) is for file formats used in-game:
- (3Dc, DDS, DXT, PVR, TPL, etc.)
