4D Renders PNG to DDS

[P Mac]

Hello all you beautiful modders! I have some awesome renders here (Via Refat, Gamerzone, and Phenomenal modder) that I'm having trouble converting from .png to .dds format so that i can import them into 2k19. Could anyone point me in the right direction or walk me through the process so I know for future reference? Any help is greatly appreciated!  

 

Thanks!

photoshop, gimp, or paint.net

 

you will need to install either of those along with the dds plugin for the respective program

I appreciate the reply @mattfick 

I used gimp to export the render to .dds however, the image isnt showing up in game  Should I change any settings when exporting in regards to Compression, Format, or Mipmaps? Or do you suppose the issue is in the original png files maybe?

i dont really know much about them, but i do know there are dimensions that are required, and id double check the export settings

bro use DXT1 FORMAT

NO MIPMAPS

if the mipmaps are on the textures may not show so don't use MIPMAPS!
