Supported Texture Formats

[moleary]

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!

yes.
What other formats are you looking for beyond what you read in help?

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?

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?
