-* VRAM Compression: This is the most common compression mode for 3D assets. File on disk is reduced and
|
|
|
- video memory usage is also reduced considerably. For 3D, it may present unwanted artifacts, though.
|
|
|
-* Lossless Compression: This is the most common compression for 2D assets. It shows assets without any
|
|
|
- kind of artifacting, and disk compression is decent. It will use considerably more amount of video memory than VRAM, though.
|
|
|
-* Lossy Compression: For games with lots of large 2D assets, lossy compression can be a great choice. It has some artifacting,
|
|
|
- but less than VRAM and the file size is almost a tenth of Lossless.
|
|
|
-* Uncompressed: Only useful for formats that can't be compressed (like, raw float).
