Suma Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest percydaman Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bully712 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I use tiffs for all my textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antisthenes Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
