Removing mips

Postby DJ_Zephyr » Fri Jul 15, 2005 7:30 am

I'm just getting into the airplane painting thing, and it's pretty fun.  I reskinned a P-38, and it'd look great if I could remove the mips.  I'm using DXTBmp (or whatever the letters were :P), and Im wondering how to remove the mips so it'll look nice 'n crisp in-game.

Sry if it's already been posted before!  THX!

i believe in DXTB... You uncheck the mipmapping towards the right side of the program box

SaVas: I cant find that checkbox.  I'll check again later, but I dont think it's there.

dfp: FS Repaint sounds like a nice program, but the full version costs $30 that I dont have right now.  I'll try the demo, tho, maybe its worth it.

thx for the input!

Maximize the program window, it should be on the right below the Alpha Channel preview window. All you do is untick the 'Include When Saving' tickbox ;)

Regards,
Stratobat

Failing that, try looking under the "Prefs" menu, you should see "Include Mips", uncheck that, then save...voila mips gone :)

Cheers,
Carl
