Posting to developers: What programs did you use???

June 3, 2008 2:32:34 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
I was wondering which programs were used to make SINS???

   what Paint programs, what 3D programs, what File Conversion programs, etc...

  this will help me to determine the source of some file-incompatibility issues I'm having, so I can make the files play nice with Sins

Photoshop and XSI are the main tools that the artists use.

Make sure you can save out .tga and .dds formats, I think there is a special plugin for Photoshop.

Ok thanks,

Oh, XSI crashes on startup (but I left it in the system because it seems everyone here uses it.

I have .Net 2.0 installed, and installed the SINS version of DirectX...


Maybe the problem is with converting FROM TGA and not to it... (or the conversion itself destroys either the Alpha channel data or the Transparent Color Zero data, depending on how it's implemented)...
