Documentation for Texture compression tags?

🌵 Needle Engine
1

Will there be documentation for this? I always come back to a forum post here to look for it

You can use the Texture importer (set it to Needle Engine) for it now to select the types of compression

We need to add proper documentation on the website tho for it, yes

I have updated to Needle 2.54.2-pre but don’t see anywhere to set texture importer on textures like I do on GLTF files

Where should I look to change the texture importer?

Select the Needle Engine platform in the importer and enable the override

Is interesting it doesn’t show for Texture2D’s e.g. if I have a glb file with embedded texture that I duplicate inside of Unity via ctrl+d on windows, that asset has no options on it except wrap/filter/aniso

Ah embedded textures dont have that importer in Unity

10

I can at least use the tags though but I have the source textures, that is a pain when using gltf in production

I think the only option here (unless the gltf importer gets an option for it) would be to duplicate the texture asset (so that its separated) and edit it there. Maybe AssetLabels work for embedded assets ? Not sure right now

12

I assume embedded textures default to the highest presets anyway

13

Otherwise I will open the gltf file in blender > unpack assets to local files and copy in those textures

You can also use glTF files instead of glb by the way, then you can use the regular texture importer

15

We are using .gltf files and the textures inside of those don’t have texture importer settings

by user 103054507105067008

16

They are gltf embedded though, can we use gltf separate + bin and is that the recommended way in this scenario?

by user 103054507105067008

17

That’s what I mean, yes

18

There’s three things:

  • glb: everything contained
  • glTF embedded: NOT RECOMMENDED - bigger filesize, harder to handle, etc.
    -glTF + bin + textures: can override texture settings in Unity as usual

Thanks, just experimenting with art workflows and import workflows on a project to work out the best ways to handle assets via gltf, it is quite new for the 3d team at my work so I’m documenting as I go

yeah so both glb and gltf + bin + textures work great with UnityGltf
