But again it only takes a few seconds to hit save. Like all great things in life, however, installing GIMP plugins can be complicated. Plugins add new features, improve your workflow, and help you customize GIMP to your exact preference. But if you forget and close your work then your done. GIMP plugins transform our favorite free image editor from a good program into a near-Photoshop equivalent. But as long as you keep your head in the game it's no need to back up work before you do this because you can go in to edit and unflatten and unflip and your back to work. Here you will view that it was not updated since 2013. Tap on Downloads and click the version that matches your Windows (32 or 64-bit).
Now maybe I can quit jumping back and forth from GIMP to BXTBmp. DOWNLOAD THE GIMP DDS PLUGIN Download the DDS plugin for GIMP. Also, if you save the flattened file (no real need) be sure to rename it to something other than your original artwork.Ģ) EXPORT your file to a DDS format using RGBA8 format (not ABGR8) as one might expect having used Photoshop.Ĭombined, GIMP (at least GIMP 2.10) will function as needed. Be sure to flip your image vertically, GIMP does not do that either. Suggest that you back-up your original artwork before you flatten. You have to flatten the set of layers yourself. 1) GIMP (2.10) does NOT flatten the image the way PS CS-6 with nVidia plug-in does. To answer my own question of last August, I have found the solution for anyone else that runs into the problem.Īctually, it is two part. Not leaving CS6 yet, just trying to learn GIMP for a friend that wants to do repainting and doesn't like the price of on-line Photoshop (for very good reason). GIMP itself is not a problem, although different the PS CS6, but trying to figure out why the dds conversion is not working out.
I might add, that if I examine the GIMP created dds file back in PS CS6, it looks normal, but it will not work in FSX. I have tried to decrease the size/resolution of the file as well, with no success.
Gimp dds plugin skin#
For those that know MSFS X, the c182_t.dds gives an all black skin in FSX (aka unusable texture file). I have imported a known working PS (PSD) file into GIMP and am trying to get the DDS file converted in GIMP but cannot figure out the settings required by the NormalMap exporter.
Gimp dds plugin simulator#
In nVidia's plugin for PS, to convert a file to DDS for MS Flight Simulator FSX, you set as 2D, 8.8.8.8 ARGB 32 Unsigned with no MIP maps and you need to flip vertically. I'm new to GIMP (2.10.12 with NormalMap win64 1.2.3) but long time user of PhotoShop CS6 with nVidia plugin for DDS files.
