Submission Guidelines [Updated: 8/1/2012]

[Shadowth117]

I have full games worth of models I have almost ready to submit, but their textures are in 256 color bitmaps, and converting the textures to PNG would require manually resaving every texture as png and then editting the model to use the png textures, and considering most of the models have around 20 or more textures this would make submitting the models really more time than I'm willing to take.

Pretty much what I'm getting at is: Is it a huge problem if I submit the textures with the models in bmp format?

Well kinda. I see what you're getting at and a lot of people have asked this, but I can't really let it slide. The thing is for .BMP's especially that they are a LOT bigger than .PNG files because they're uncompressed.

I'd suggest getting a batch converter to convert your .BMP files to .PNG and then editing your .MTL's, .DAE's, .SMD's, and/or 3DS's with a hex or text editor to fix them by using the replace all function to change all instances of .BMP to .PNG. It may seem like a pain, but it sure as hell beats doing it manually.
