Texture, Model & Animation Help .DDS Files Not working?

**Pshyched** · 10-30-2014, 03:58 PM

Okay, I'm sorta new to figuring this out, but I converted an image to .dds using Paint.net. All seemed fine, until I couldn't look it up in the Material Editor. the .dds file was not there. I'm not sure If i'm doing everything wrong or something but I just need a bit of help. It's all quite disheartening not seeing it work time after time when I'm so interested in working on this project.

Do I need to First start off with a .PNG File?
Which Compression do I need to use?
Do I need to generate MIP Maps?

I would like someones help on this if possible Smile

Thanks In advance!
