You can edit the parameters that are exported for the textures in your JSR-184 scene. The Texture Tool dialog displays a preview of the texture with its current settings.

NoteIf the image is not a texture, then you can choose any palette in the Image Format group.

Interface

Image Width group

The JSR-184 format requires that texture sizes use the “power of two rule,” and supports texture sizes less than or equal to 256². You can select either 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256.

If you want to modify the image width of all of the textures in your JSR-184 scene, turn on Apply To All; otherwise, the changes affect only the selected texture.

Image Height group

These are the same options as Image Width: you can select either 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256.

If you want to modify the image height of all of the textures in your JSR-184 scene, turn on Apply To All; otherwise, the changes affect only the selected texture.

Image Format Group

Changes the color model of all textures in your JSR-184 scene.

If you want to modify the image format of all of the textures in your JSR-184 scene, turn on Apply To All; otherwise, the changes affect only the selected texture.

Alpha Channel

When on, saves the alpha channel with the texture.
