Holy Moby Dick, Cap'n AHub -that looks like a whale of a huge drive - for only 250MB! It's HUGE!
Calena, thank you for the info on compression...do you have any estimates on the loss of texture quality with compression, or the gain when we don't?
If I had a bit more time, I'd set up some side-by-side panels, texture them with identical resolution charts, put a "normal" setting on one and "do not compress" on the other. I wonder what they'd look like after Plasma export.
I'd test what this looks like using a 1024X file, a 512X file, and a 256X file applied to the same size panels. I bet compression would start to become apparent at some point...but knowing where could help builders know when to economize and when to splurge on file space.
