TIFF support

It would be very nice if VfSU could make use of .tiff files for textures. I got a large collection of trees mapped with .tiff images which I have to convert to a different format in order to render it. If VfSU supported the same image formats as SU it’d makes things allot easier.

I’m not sure if we are going to add tiffs because the come in a lot of “flavors”. If we did it probably won’t get to you for a little while, so you may just consider batch saving them all as jpgs through photoshop. If you go to File> Scripts> Image Processor, that should allow you to process the images you need. HTH

I don’t suppose you would what flavours SU supports and match that?

Mass converting the files are no prob, what takes time is reassigning the materials of existing models.

Supporting the Alpha channel from pngs is something that we intend on adding.
