Supported Texture Formats

(OP)
Does anyone know where to find a comprehensive list of supported texture formats for Solidworks?  In the textures help topic, if you click on the "To create custom textures:" link, you will read that custom textures must be in .bmp, .jpg, or .png.  Is this all the formats that are supported?

Thanks for any help!

RE: Supported Texture Formats

(OP)
It just seems like a short list.  Many modelling packages have support for .tga, rgb, .tif, .gif, etc.  Also, I thought I had heard somewhere that SW supports .dds.  Does anyone know anything about this?

RE: Supported Texture Formats

Yes, SW only lists what is supported, There is no need for a comprehensive list?

Why don't you open the Files in some sort of image software and save it to what SW requires in their Texture?
