DDS Converter 2.1

NConvert
| Description |
An additional resource for DDS files is NConvert (freeware). It can convert to and from DDS allowing DDS files to be converted to other formats. I recently used this tool to convert the DDS files that the TCS generates from the "Generate Local Maps" functon to jpegs. It is a console app (dos box) and not GUI. It will batch convert and is very fast. | |

ATI .TGA Normal Map Generator
| Description |
A stand alone .exe which generates simple normal maps from .tga files. Less powerful than the PS and GIMP plugins since it lacks scaleability and other functions. Also does not generate mip maps and so would need to be combined with DDS Converter 2.1 above. | |
