I know someone that likes to only use .psd files for texturing in 3ds instead of .jpgs... i guess my question is...

 

 

Is there any benefit or draw back on using .psd textures vs. .jpg in 3ds?

psd files dont really have compression, while jpegs do. psd files can handle transparency, while jpegs can't. I use tiffs with transparency instead of psds. LZW compression is decent enough.

if the texture has multiple layers and masks that you want to change in the PSD to make the texture different? other wise it makes no sence because you could always save out a JPG and keep the original PSD.

 

personally i prefer PNG becuase it is non destructive(no lossy compression) and has transparency, while being much smaller than TIFF
