Format Operator

 

The Format Operator allows you to choose options for the file format and the mipmap behaviour of a texture. It has to be added right before the Export Operator.

 

Inputs

 

One texture.

 

Parameters

 

Format

A8R8G8B8: regular 32 bit Bitmap, with 4 unsigned 8Bit channels (Alpha, R, G, B).

Q8W8U8V8 (normal map): 4 signed 8Bit channels

DXT1: DirectX compression (no alpha)

DXT5: DirectX compression (with alpha)

 

Mipmap Count

Sets the number of mipmap steps.

 

Mipmap Threshold

Sets the cutoff point for smooth/sharp mipmap generation (smooth: bilinear filtering, sharp: nearest neighbour). A value of 1 means that all mipmap are generated the same way.

 

Threshold Dir

sharp first/smooth first: Sets the order of mipmap generation algorithms.

 

Alpha Channel

smooth/hard: Chooses a mipmap algorithm for the alpha channel.

 

DXT quality

fast (no dither)/medium (dither): Toggles dithering in the DXT format.
