DDS is a 2D graphics file, there are convertors to make it jpg or tga.

There are others.

The DDS plugin for AC3D should handle all DXT1,3,5 format 2D images, though.

DDS *can* specify cube maps, 3D textures, and other compression formats which are *not* supported, though.

I'm kinda curious what format your DDS is actually specifying.

Thank you for your answers
I explain you my problem. I would like to create a 3D model of a nascar'cars.

I have the files in .psd . Files take in easport.com. I can customize my skin, and, so

And I would like to open it in ac3d, because it is easport who advises to open it in this software

so, what can I do?

From what I can tell, NASCAR allows you to edit a car texture template. PSD and DDS files are used as textures, but AC3D is a 3d model-building program. You would need a model (such as a 3ds, OBJ, .X, etc) to apply your texture to in order to view it in AC3D.

However, even then AC3D will not allow you to edit the texture image. You need a 2D paint program to do that. You could try GiMP or PhotoShop for your 2D editing.
