Creating Textures

• Textures

  • Texture heights and widths must be integral powers of 2:  32, 64, 128, 256.

    • No bigger than 256 and square for last generation cards.

     

  • Opaque and translucent textures shouldn't be mixed on one sheet; otherwise, sheeting is a good idea.

  • Alpha channels aren't necessary for translucent textures that are rendered with the 'glow' blending mode.

  • Translucent textures that fade to 0 alpha need a 3 pixel border of 0 alpha to allow for mipping, filtering, etc.
