Deleted1205226User Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I'm afraid I can't be of real help, I've never played with LOD textures or Tga. I can only point to tutorial, with the hope it can be useful to you.http://tutorials.robbiegee.com/ps_tga.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKlGwvJGfps Edited February 18, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArekkusuStorm Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Hmm, what exactly is the problem, the option to save it as a targa isn't there or it won't save the alpha? Edited February 19, 2014 by ArekkusuStorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone can give me a detailed step by step guide on saving an alpha dds file as 32 bit TGA that would be wonderful.

ArekkusuStorm Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) ... Alright, I'm going to assume you mean that the option isn't there which means that you're doing something wrong or you have the wrong plugin.. The only plugin you need is for the dds file * and if this is the plugin you have, then it's all good. * - Unless you are using an early version of photoshop, which doesn't come with a the option to save as a targa by default. You didn't specify what version of PS you have, but if you need a plugin for it, I can only assume you have one that's earlier than 7. If that's your case, the only suggestion I have is to get the one from Adobe's site. I apologize if that's the one you already have, but again, you didn't mention where you got your plugins. Since you mentioned converting a DDS file, make sure you load your DDS with these settings. Make sure it's set to RGB colours and not something else, by default it should already be set to this. After that, you should be able to save as a targa.http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7437/12626666144_c8c012c11a_o.jpg And finally, just choose the 32 bit like you wanted.
