Please help Extract .gtf textures

Please help Extract .gtf textures. It's textures file format from PS3 Games (for example: God of War)...

Sample?!

It seems it some kind of DDS or Tim format. Maybe Tim3. I can see the main character and some text on it, but I can't edit.
Channels: ARGB.

yes, PS3 SDK have convert tool DDS2GTF, but I want convert from gtf to dds...or other format what I can edit

The GTF file format does not have a fixed pixel format. It corresponds to
texture data saved in the DDS format that has been rearranged in a layout
that can be easily handled by RSX(TM).

Texture data is packed in DDS. To use with RSX(TM), its memory layout
must be changed on the CELL side.
GTF stores texture data exactly in the layout by which it is to be used
within RSX(TM). Thus, such a file can be directly referenced as a texture
by merely placing it on memory.

Got it. I didn't know the dimensions, but now I have the DDS image. Just the byte order difference. (Little-Endian - Big-Endian)
DDS format of this image: 8.8.8.8, no mipmap

How I can edit this files (.gtf)? Have you any converter for this?
I just want transtlate this game, I want get image, edit it and bring it back(((

[Evin]

I need more samples, with smaller images. Because maybe this DDS compression is not the only one, which the game uses.

This simple program support only the unswizzled .gtf files. Sorry, but I can't handle the swizzled mode.

Thank you very much!!!!!

Hi, any chance you could release the source of that? also what is this unswizzled/swizzled mode about? and finally, any chance it is possible to convert this to a jpeg?
many thanks

PS: i know this is an old thread, but i figured it would be better if it stayed in one place.

The swizzle thing: Google -> texture swizzle
Basically this some kind of compression mode.

"any chance it is possible to convert this to a jpeg?"
Everything is possible. Just I don't have time to working on this. What is more, I don't have the game or ps3.

[dimmid]

I understand completely, either way, thank you very much for the source. I will try and convert it to jpeg myself.

I'll revive this thread... Shift 2 unleashed is one of those games taht use .gtf textures, but these tools do not work on this game unfortunatly...
i attached some files, any help would be nice

can't attach 2 attacments, here's the link for another one(it has real liveries): http://www.upload.ee/files/1376419/s2u_ ... ..rar.html

note: I'd need .gtf to dds and dds to gtf
