| - | **.png file format:** The .png file format is the optimal file format for Ca3DE! It can feature transparent parts that allows them to be used for textures that have invisible parts (like windows). Advantage: The transparent parts can be created very easily with image editing software. There is NO loss of quality at all with this compression - optimal for high detailed textures. Disadvantage: They are bigger in the size than jpg on the hard drive. | + | **.png file format:** The .png file format is the optimal file format for Cafu!

| **.jpg file format:** The .jpg image format is very small in size on the hard drive because of it's compression. jpg-files can be used for diffuse maps - but with care - dont compress them too much! The disadvantages are that they can't handle transparent parts, which makes them unusable for some tasks and the compression leads to a loss of quality. Don't use it for high frequency textures! | **.jpg file format:** The .jpg image format is very small in size on the hard drive because of it's compression. jpg-files can be used for diffuse maps - but with care - dont compress them too much!
