jollyjack Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Hi, i noticed there are about 3 DDS file sizes for skin files, the most are 4k and about 22 MB. Those around 16 MB (in my case with downloaded FC1 skins); what are they? Around 5 MB seems for 2k ones ...
BlackHellHound1 Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 There are actually 4 options and they have to do with the resolution of the skin as well as if they contain MIPmaps 21,3 MB are 4K skins with MIPmaps 16,0 MB are 4K skins without MIPmaps 5,33 MB are 2K skins with MIPmaps 4,00 MB are 2K skins without MIPmaps Any artist that knows what they're is doing uses MIPmaps for their skins. The MIPmaps are scaled down skin files that are packed into one file. A representation (but not the only representation) of them is show below. They are used for objects in the distance where you don't need all that detail. BlackHellHound1 2 1
