DXTViewer is a compressed texture viewer. These textures, mainly in DDS format (Direct Draw Surface), are commonly used in realtime 3D applications. Compressed textures leads to increased procurement efficiency, due to two major improvements which are:
-less diskspace and video memory consumption
-direct loading into the graphics video memory (no transformation stage required) Texture loading is dramatically increased even for high resolution images (4096x2048 for instance).
DXTViewer handles the following S3TC compression formats: DXT1, DXT3, DXT5 and ATI's 3Dc. Furthermore, DXTViewer allows to load usual image formats such as JPG, BMP, TGA, PNG or GIF.
