Hi Willi,

Sorry you feel the way you do. Most of the time the forum is very helpful.

Unfortunately, I think you may have asked a question that most users here don't have much experience with. The DDS format is not the usual format for most of the rendering software used with AC3D.

So please forgive the users of AC3D if they are not forthcoming with the info you want. It just may be we don't have much of a clue about that format.

I did a quick search on the DDS plugin and didn't find much. So I am thinking that it may be a fairly old plugin that worked with a much earlier revision of AC3D.

You will find that older plugins won't work properly with the most recent revision. It may be that one of the plugin programmers may have been looking at the plugin and revising it to work with the current revision. It does take time to recode a plugin.

Sometimes you just have to be patient and give folks some time to research the issue.

I wish I could be more helpful, but the program I work with creates the DDS images automatically in the engine itself.
