Question about the later UDK builds?

[Kyle_Katarn]

Hey guys, this is probably really simple, but can anyone tell me if the later versions of the UDK support .dds file formats? I'm finding that .tga munches a bit of space (3mb for a 1024 image). It's not a life-changing problem, it's just a convenience thing, as my UDK version is quite old (november build I think), and as my internet is capped at the moment, I can't get the newer versions to check myself.

Thanks.

A quick test indicates that it doesn't support DDS. I think one of the reasons is compression -- DDS already do hardware compression and since UDK handles that by itself there is no need to use DDS.

If size is a problem, use PNG

Ah, didn't think of that. Thanks for the info.

Edit

Oh that's why I didn't think of it, the november build of UDK doesn't support the png file format. Guess I really do need to upgrade when my net clocks over.

Thanks again.
