.raw textures
hi, does anyone maybe have any textures in .raw format or maybe any urls that leed to sites with such content? or maybe anyone knows how do i make one or what software do i need to edit those, thanks
.raw image files are just the uncompressed image data without any headers. In the case of 24 bit, they contain x*y*3 bytes (RGB). If a texture is 16x16 pixels (24 bit) the file is 768 bytes.
Any image file can be converted to .raw, but when you load the raw file you have to tell the program the dimensions of the file. If you know that the image is square and 24 bit you can calculate the image size: X = Y = sqrt(filesize/3).
I don't know of any sites where you can download textures in .raw format, but there are several sites where you can download textures in jpeg or other formats. I know you can use photoshop to save and load raw files, and there has to be other porgrams that can do the same (after all it IS the simplest image format in the world :) ). But thanks to Canon and other camera manufacturers .raw also means raw camera data, not neccesserily raw images so I'm having trouble googling it.
I'd guess that any major converting programs can load and save the format.
The only shareware program I found that states that it can convert to and from raw files is AnyImage, but I bet there are others.
Some free textures
A lot more free textures :)

frostburn thanks, i tried to google but just like you said, i got some strange results :) i'll try that shareware program and later i'll install Photoshop but now i'm going to visit those websites, thanks again for explaining all that
This is the visual arts forum, so I don't know if you know any programming stuff. But if you do, you could make your own program to load raw files and have some image loading libraries to save/load other file formats. If you can't find any good libraries, Wotsit.org is a great site to read up on file format specifications so you can write your own save/load routines for whatever file format you want.
