At 2048 full Mip Map down to 1x1 both are 5.33 MB. Results do differ when using other DDS formats but we use DXT5 (BCn3) because it reduces file size more.Īs for file size between the two DDS plug-ins.
We'll need to get used to this naming being the new norm. Note that in the new Intel DXT5 is known as BCn3. You can see there is very little difference between the two.īoth are saved using DXT5 including Alpha. I was disappointed to see that the Intel boast in my opinion is a tad overstated. So! I'm very used to the result from the nVidia DDS plug-in and already had a car done in devMode so I just re-saved the same car from a PSD open format template using this new Intel DDS plug-in. The only way to test the compression result is from using a fresh new livery template straight out of PSD or PSP that has no former compression at all. Opening a already saved DDS that has already been compressed and saving it again using a different DDS converter program or plug-in and expecting to see something different didn't make any sense to me at all.
I found this interesting for the main reason that the Intel boast cleaner edges and better compression.
