I see dds is a file format substance could quickly export and import .. Much quicker than any other file type. What picture browser could show them ? Not Adobe bridge it sseems? A sort of addon to Windows maybe?

Hello,

XnView has partial support for DDS files (partial in that some files cannot be displayed).

NVIDIA offers a good set of legacy tools for DDS workflows, including a app/plugin for real-time visualization of compressed textures.

I hope this helps!

Nothing of those are working 😞 . I think I had some other addon before that did it . Can't recollect its name now.

Hello @Dean22517655aei7,

Thank you for sharing this. The plugin most likely needs to be updated to use PySide6 instead of PySide2, following Designer's upgrade from Qt 5 to Qt 6. You can learn more about this required plugin update in our dedicated post. I suggest reaching out to the plugin's author so he can perform the update.

Regarding the absence of mipmaps in Designer's DDS exporter, I will raise this topic with the rest of the team.

Best regards.

Hi Luca,

Any update on this or are Adobe simply not supporting mip-mapped dds export? Right now non of our artists are upgrading beyond 13.1 . Is there anything I can tell them other than Adobe isn't interested?

Cheers
