Creating Albedo.dds files from Gimp

[ROBOTECH2140]

Hi,

I have been working on a new unit mod and created a 3D model in Blender 2.7 which I have successfully exported to Supreme Commander. I have also UV un-wrapped and textured the model in Blender.

When I open the PNG files in Gimp to export as a Albedo.dds file however, errors occur (see attached images / open image in new tab).





I have tried searching the forums and the internet for solutions, and I have experimented with various export settings, but I can't seem to figure where I'm going wrong.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I replied to your other question, might be the same answer. When you export the model, make sure all the other UV maps are deleted from the model. I think, the script selects the first UV map to export with the model.

Also, for the exporting from Gimp, make sure to use the BC3/DXT5 compression method, but that will mostly affect NormalsTS and SpecTeam files.

Also, awesome unit! Hope you get it working!
