What textures are best for skyline

Postby TattieBoJangle » 03 Mar 2015, 16:45

I was wondering is there any advantages in skyline when using certain texture formats i know a lot of engines use dds due to It taking less time to upload the texture data to the video card or does it really not matter.

it is the same with our engine. DDS is more memory efficient, has built in mip-maps and as you say is faster to upload to the GPU. Also gives a significant performance boost :)

.tga files we do not like that much. Memory hogs and really slow a scene down.
