Problem with png textures

Post by Nikolaj Knudsen » Thu Sep 11, 2014 8:19 pm

Hi all

We have been working with a workflow from Archicad to C4D and Indigo for some years now. Archicad 18 was released a few months ago with integrated Cinerender :D. That means more consistent workflow in setting up materials for us. However, a strange thing has occurred. It seems that the exporter saves png textures in 32bit format of some kind. C4D can read them but Indigo can't. Does any of you have an idea or workaround for this?

I have included a sample in zip

It looks like it's a JPEG file, but the file extension is .png. This is causing Indigo to fail to load it.

:shock: It seems so.. Thanks Ono.
- got to get this info to Graphisoft.

Meanwhile, if any other use Archicad and have same problem there's a little prog called XnConvert where you can drop your tex folder all at once to convert them.
