texture-compressor

Texture compressor

CLI tool for texture compression using ASTC, ETC, PVRTC and S3TC in a KTX container.

Easily compress for all hardware using sensible defaults but with the option to pass any custom flag directly to the tool.

Installation

$ npm install -g --save texture-compressor

Live demo

Live demo using KTXLoader from Three.js.

Flags

Required

-c, --compression ['astc', 'etc1', 'etc2', 'pvrtc1', 'dxt1', 'dxt3', 'dxt5'] [required]
-i, --input [example: ./docs/example/example.png] [required]
-o, --output [example: ./docs/example/example.ktx] [required]
-m, --method ['astc', 'etc', 'pvr', 's3tc'] [required]

Optional

-b, --bitrate [2.0 - 4.0, default: 2.0 = 8x8 blocksize] [not required]

Or if using ASTC you can optionally change the bitrate for one of the following blocksizes:
[4x4, 5x4, 5x5, 6x5, 6x6, 8x5, 8x6, 8x8, 10x5, 10x6, 10x8, 10x10, 12x10, 12x12] [not required]

-q, --quality [0 - 10, default: 5] [not required]
-t, --transparant [true / false, default: false] [not required]
-y, --flipY [tue / false, default: false] [not required]

Tool flags

-f, --flags ["flag value" "flag value"] [not required]
