unzip the DX TOOLS zip and place the folder

so i put the folder into the installation folder.
then when you have your skin,lovingly rendered...in .TGA
format,save it,and re-open it and save as .DDS
making sure (create mipmaps) is on.good luck

where else can i fet this tools.zip??
i went to the http://www.nvidia.com site and did a search for "dx tools" and nothing definitive came up.
