8 bit tiled texture ?

[bigbossfr]

Hi,
I have a question : i have a lot of texture in 8bit, but because i have a lot, i must to convert all textures into tiled exr. The problem is all textures are converted into 16 bit, and it takes a lot of memory (for nothing?).
Is it possible to create something to convert all textures into 8bit tiled ?

Is there a workaround ?

Thank you.

Hi,
Any progress about this ?
We can save disk space and network transfer...

Perhaps use .tx format ?

We use the .tx file format. This is a standard tiff image that can be loaded by libtiff.

This is implemented since a long time now (since 2011, to be precise). For best results and smallest RAM usage, use one of the latest nightlies.

We don't have a tool to convert textures to .tx format though, you'll have to use some other tool like txmake or maketx.

Best regards,
