Category Texturing

This category covers texturing for games: texture map types, texturing techniques, file formats, etc.


Category Texture Types

lists the most commonly used texture map types for games, such as Diffuse, Emissive, Normal, Opacity, and Specular Color. The types actually used 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.)
