.DDS Transparency

[Oshzak]

Need a little help! When I import my texture that has a transparent alpha. The whole image goes transparent! How do I properly export it with alpha, so it will properly work when I import it?

While you are saving as .dds, you are not saving as the right compression. For this texture use BC1 Linear, DXT1.

Alright! I will give that a try. Thank you!

It looks like this now?

IDL the other the Nvidia one. It allows alpha to be transparent. I save it as what you said. It turns black when I upload it.

That's BC1 sRGB DX10+, not BC1 Linear DXT1. DirectDraw Surface (.dds) has a lot of compression algorithms, including linear and sRGB.

If your program does not have BC1 Linear DXT1, I suggest the program Paint.NET. It is freeware and the one I personally use to save my custom textures.

Okay, it doesn't have that. So, I thought it was 10. I appreciate the help!

Thank you for the help! The Nvidia software did have the format I needed. I appreciate the help!
