The title is all what I hope.  I do not think current 3d coat support those dds. 

I often need to convert them (I am not photo shop user, then serch around plug in etc,,)

but if 3d coat can load them directly as texture,, it help me a lot :p:

Thouhg I do not know, howmany user may need it,, but it becom standard for game textures, I believe.

Hi Carlosan at first thanks you always help my question ^_^

then I know there is dds option. but I think I can not import dds (it had been changed format, from DirectX 9.

and it usually need plug in to import DirectX 10 DDS. so some paint aprication can load DDS (DirectX 9 version) but can not load DDS(DirectX 10, 11)

And I almost confirm current 3d coat only support the DirectX 9 DDS only. But anyway I test again, then if it not work report here.

I tried to request in Trello but can not understand how request, and I think, I may need more test. (so if it already work, it is welcom)

=========

I can confirm Unfortunately current 3d coat can only load dds texture Direct X 9 type format.(DXT1 to DXT5)

It can not load  Direct X 10 dds (BC1 to BC7), then it can not export as new DDS. 

Though there are already plug in which can convert (usually I convert dds (Direct X 10) to png then import to 3d coat)

but hope if 3d coat can import and export  new dds.

I use windows 10 but it may not change I believe. Because when I import dds current format texture, 3d coat can not load texture as alberto map .

but when I import dds (old format type) texture to 3d coat could load texture as alberto map then show the color on mesh.

Both can load with other paint soft  which support both type dds. (about this plug-in, it need to rename dds2 for new format)

My test textures are actually used for skyrim and skyrim SE (for 64 bit version) ,in game. 

Though I think  most of current 3d coat user may not use dds, but  3d coat seems start to support modders,

then if 3d coat can load dds directly ,and export it as current each format option,  it may gather more user who like to play modding of recent games.

( I  simply hoped to add tatoo or make-up easy in 3d coat, then request it)
