Not sure if you wanted HumeM or HumeF, so I put both faces in the zip. For your problem, only thing I can think which might cause this problem is that you're trying to import a different sized .dds file. You can't change the size. |

what do you mean my different size? Like as in KB?? or as in Resolution? I dont change the resolution at all but it gets 2 kb bigger when i am finished.

I was reffering to resolution. If you aren't changing that then I'm not sure what your problem is. Unless, as Nomido said, is a UV mapping problem.

Could you possibly explain the UV mapping to me...only thing i did was export it, change add some face tatoos made the eyes green and tried to port it back...but if was all messed up when i went into game to look at it....i didnt do anything else. Explain what you mean about uv mapping being correct. |

In short, UV mapping controls how the image is wrapped around the 3D object. Ye Olde Grumy Rarab's Modding Guide The Metasequoia section of that guide talks about UV mapping if you want to learn how to change it. That guide covers most aspects of modding FFXI. |

I see 2 options for you: 1.Use GC3 Graphicconverter and work with the *bmp format. 2.Write a plugin for photoshop that prevents it from destroying the FFXI-dds format. :p Nice Day Nomido Last edited by Nomido; 11-05-2006 at 08:43 AM. | |

| Junior Member | Re: textures Mess up Photoshop DDS Plugin. Make sure your settings match the ones specified on that page when you save. If you still have problems, try one of these: -Try using graphcs converter 3 like Nomido said -Use the model viewer to export things instead |
