texture baking file format?

[kimgar]

has anyone got 'render to texture' to output anything else than tga?

i'm asking because i've got a feeling that irrlicht is more comfortable with png's, i am lazy and always out of time so i would love to skip the irfanView part

i never could that figure out as well, sometimes it works, mostly there are black.
but comm on, within irrlicht there are so many steps, so this one doesn't count really. btw irfanview has a batch converter build in.

ah, you must set file format on individual objects, hmm, awkward...i have quite a few...

i haven't encountered any black maps yet, the export works amazingly smooth over here...

there's not many steps involved in irrlicht for a simple bake...render texture, export geometry to directX and thats it

you don't compile it to an exe?

i'm using blitzMax with gman's irrlicht wrapper, compiling to exe means pressing 'F5' - even a lazy bastard like me can handle that
