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.

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

Hello @Dean22517655aei7,

Sorry for the delay in response.

I'm afraid we have currently nothing planned for supporting mip-maps in DDS exports. The problem is that there are many ways to compute mipmaps and from discussions with studios, it seems most use custom techniques.

For now, I advise you to create an "Idea Post". The idea section of the forum is where we classify users suggestions. Depending on the community's interest the feature can climb up in our priority list.

Best regards,
