TXS3 - TextureSet3

Applies to: GT5, GTPSP, GT6, GT Sport, GT7 · Extension: .img, .txs, .tex, none · Endian: Platform Dependent

TXS3 is an evolution of the Tex1 format that GT3 and GT4 uses. It now allows being linked to a "streaming" texture file, which holds compressed textures to be streamed - mostly used for courses.

The 3 in TextureSet3 represents PS3.


Converting from/to TXS3

Refer to Image Editing.


The header may be present in all sorts of files like models.

Note that the header varies between PS3-era Gran Turismos and PS4-era, pointers are 64 bit instead of 32 bit.

PGLUTextureInfo

This depends on the platform. These are normally direct platform texture registers/parameters.

Texture Stream Info

These represent a texture in a streamed file, which may host multiple mipmaps for each texture. They are compressed using the inflate algorithm.

Example

sky/sky.tex streams textures from sky/sky.texstream. Course file packs may also link to a .texstream file.
