VTF to TGA Conversion: FAQ
What are VTF files?
The VTF (Valve Texture Format) is Valve's proprietary texture format for Source Engine games (*Half-Life 2*, CS:GO). It supports mipmaps, normal/specular maps, and DXT compression, optimized for real-time rendering. Used with VMT material files, it's essential for both game assets and mods.
What are TGA files?
The TGA (Truevision Graphics Adapter) format, also known as Truevision TGA or TARGA, is a bitmap file containing raster graphics and was initially associated with TARGA and VISTA boards. TGA files can be used on DOS, Windows and Mac OS X platforms for storing and transferring deep-pixel images. They support a color range of up to 24 bits and an 8-bit alpha channel. TGA files are associated with graphic adapters that can capture NTSC and/or PAL video images signals, and they are particularly popular in the domain of still-video editing.
