Hi guys.

 

All viewer software I have can't open DDS files that contain a Normal Map. It crashes. Unfortunately the devs won't update their software.

 

Do you know a DDS viewer software that can open (and give info about) latest DDS files?

 

Thanks.

Have you tried IrfanView? Shows *.dds for me, don't know if it provides the info you're looking for.

Yes. Just installed IrfanView and it shows Normal Maps without crashing. That's nice but it won't give detail info about Mipmaps ve DTX.

 

In the other hand, I like it after ACDSee I use for years. Very funny icon. :)

 

Thanks anyway ams999.

What info are you trying to get?

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

NVidia's or other some simple DDS viewers can show me how many mipmaps the texture has and the format of it (DTX1? DTX5? etc.) but can't provide any info for Normal Map DDS files because they crash.

 

Irfanview opens all DDS files; that's nice but no any info I wrote above.

Could you provide the link to normal map with this behaviour?

That's weird because, while I was testing, compression box was empty for many DDS files. Let me try again on other files.

 

Thank you.
