Is there a .dds visualizer?

Is there a viewer or something like the .l3d viewer? I have B&W2 installed on one comp and my editing tools on another (One is my comp and the other can actually run it.), and rather than transfer files through e-mail all day (I have satellite internet unfortunately...) I would like to see how it is before I have to start the game.

I'm afraid not, no. First off, .dds files are just the textures, so they are just the skins. There is no actual creature model viewer, which makes it really annoying to test skins because you need to go through all those tiresome advert screens  :rolleyes

You can also view them using the landscape editor. But if that's on the other PC...

Why not use a flash drive to transfer files between the two machines? ???

Well I realized how much more detail is in these textures compared to the textures in Black & White, and I am not good enough to make textures that5 are that detailed.

And I do not have a Flash Drive, and the other computer is my mom's, I need permission to use it, and it is the only computer in the house that can run B&W2. But I will be building a Gaming Computer in about a month, it will be able to handle B&W2.

Ah you would be surprised how good the simple textures look in BW2. Even if you fill the texture file with blackness it still looks pretty good. On the few skins i have made, i have just used a composition of simple colours and its worked out great.
