DDS texture results in Export Error about exporters HOT 9 CLOSED

In 3dsmax exporter? Ping @noalak

from exporters.

Yes, currently textures are read as Bitmap which doesn't support dds extension. A special treatment is required for those files.

Yes, it is 3Ds Max we're using. What's the "special treatment"?

from exporters.

A fix in the exporter code. You should have nothing more to do :)

Hm. So this is a bug then and you fix it, am I understanding that correctly?

from exporters.

Yes

I don't know it's this will be a feature automatically available when incorporating dds formats, but we're looking at creating 3d launch icons for the Mircosoft Mixed Reality home with this:

Has been a week. Just wanted to know when this is going to be addressed

Hi, currently working on it. Should be quick, probably tomorrw.
You will be allowed to set DDS map textures in 3DS MAX. The exporter then automatically converts all textures into jpg/png format, which are the only formats supported by gltf.
