- RGB_11_11_10 is exported in a RGBA PNG file where the 4 channels are
used as a uint32 storing a RGB_10_11_11_REV pixel.
We use the .rgb32f extension, and those PNG files contain garbage
when seen in a PNG viewer.
- This is now the default for the -x option.
- compressed KTX files don't encode RGBM, which means they can't
support HDR, unless an HDR compression scheme is used.
Due to an assertion in etc2comp, this unfortunately uses RGB8 instead of
RG11 but it still helps quite a bit (3.3 MB savings in the unzipped KTX
size).
This shrinks file size as follows, although it seems to darken the
rendered result.

At build time, mipgen now creates several compressed and non-compressed
variants for albedo.
For ASTC we use the ARM encoder, for S3TC we use the STB encoder. The
latter is somewhat limited so we may wish to investigate other libraries
in the future (e.g., AMD Compressenator).
At run time, we detect which of these variants to download, based on
available WebGL extensions. In practice, this means that desktop
browsers will use the S3TC variant and mobile browsers will use the ASTC
variant.
The makes unzipped albedo go from ~4 MB to 682 KB using S3TC.
Mobile support (ASTC and ETC2) is coming in a future PR, stay tuned.
The compression API now takes block size instead of bit rate. Otherwise
it is quite possible for the encoder to generate a block size that is
not one of the valid block sizes that graphics API's can actually
consume.
