jpg and png to dds but not the power of two...how to


Recommended Posts

Been using textures from the internet but in some cases i get the error "not the power of two"....when i try to apply in nifskope

Is there an easy way to fix them without doing it by hand and with what app ?

Im guessing gimp but what do i do ?

Gimp, paint.net and Photoshop will all work, providing you have the necessary plug-in. Basically, you bring in the image of interest and you either resize it and/or crop it to the desired size. If resizing or crop isn't applicable then you might first need to make your canvas size (e.g., 1024 x 1024) and then bring in you image. Layers can be your friend here. Then export it out to the dds format. Remember, most texture sets have three images: _d.dds, _n.dds, and _s.dds. Chances are you'll need to make all three,

 

BTW, unsplash.com is a good source of images.

Simply means it doesn't have proper resolution. It should be 512x512, 1024x1024, 2048x2048, etc.. Basically a texture starts at 1x1, then 2x2, 4x4....

Some however can also have a 1:2 ratio but it's seldom in this game.

 

Internet textures often have random resolutions so you need to crop or resize them
