You caught the news before anyone else, wow! Yes, please check out the live web demo here to really get a feel for it: subquantumtech.com/xu/ktx2_e… Instructions posted on this account in the announcement thread!

We strongly recommend you get used to the web demo before diving into the code, because it's a complex system. We'll have more updates as the year goes on. It's exciting, it's big. My e-mail's [email protected] if you have questions, or chat on our GitHub.

Web demo instructions: 1. Select effort and quality level 2. Pick XUASTC block size (small blocks mean high quality but larger files, etc) 3. To trigger encoding, select the image you want to try 4. Stats and image will be displayed! subquantumtech.com/xu/ktx2_e…

It's here... Basis Universal 2.0 Our 1.0 SDR codecs still work great, but the 2.0 codec can do it all. High quality, low file size, whatever you want depending on settings. It's revolutionary image tech brought to GPUs. github.com/BinomialLLC/basis…

Was lovely to speak at the Metaverse Standards Forum recently about what we've been up to! If you'd like to see the slides from the event, here is the deck: docs.google.com/presentation…

Yes, Mark is working on the KTX tools now! Would love to see what you're up to! Keep in mind we'll be releasing a high compression/lower quality variant later this year, but you might decide this high quality variant works better for your use case. Reach out if you have any q's!

As requested, we have a Mastodon account now! We'll post the same general updates on both accounts, we just may share different content depending on who @ 's us on each platform. If you prefer to hang out there, this is the official link: mastodon.social/@binomial

This version focuses on achieving very high quality while still being universally compressed across HDR GPUs-- a new milestone for HDR. Do you care more about small texture size in HDR? Just sit tight, we got you too, there may be something coming for you later this year. 👀

This has been over a year in the making. We are currently working with the Khronos 3DFormats group on standardization and welcome feedback. If you try it, @ us in your work so we can share!

Big news! We have released the high quality HDR version of our Basis Universal codec. SIGGRAPH slides: docs.google.com/presentation… Repo: github.com/BinomialLLC/basis…

After a few years away from conferences, we are back! We'll be at SIGGRAPH 2024 in just a few weeks! If you want to meet up, just send over a message to Stephanie at [email protected] We'll be presenting at several events and may have some exciting news to share 👀

In our latest 1.16.4 release, we enabled UTF-8 support to make working with Basis more seamless for customers around the world. Check out the changes in our repo: github.com/BinomialLLC/basis…
