ritterbruder119 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hey I was redoing a shield texture for Whiterun, I got the new symbol into the game and everything is fine...but I am having some issue trying to make it so this black square doesn't show anymore,. By the way I am using Photoshop CS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakala Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) You botched the alpha channel. You need to save the dds in DXT 5 format if it has an alpha channel. Copy the alpha channel from the original, paste and save in DXT 5. Edited November 20, 2011 by mazakala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansh00ter Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Make sure your texture has an appropriate Alpha channel as described above (you can view your channels on the right side of the interface, under Channels), and then Save As -> .dds (you have to have installed NVidia's Photoshop DDS plugin), set type to DXT5 (default). That should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuro1n Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 When you save your file in DDS format its set to DXT1, change that to DXT5... http://i.imgur.com/nRcOo.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
