Bindings for Binomial LLC's basis-universal Supercompressed GPU Texture Codec

basis-universal functionality can be grouped into two categories:

• Encoding: Compresses and encode textures (optionally combining multiple images and mipmap layers in a single file/binary blob)
• Transcoding: Unpacks the texture into GPU-friendly compression formats. The final format can be chosen based on what the available GPU hardware can support.

Encoding can be done ahead of time using a command line tool in the upstream repository.

The encoded data can either be stored as a file or a binary blob. This data can include multiple images, and each image can store multiple levels. This is commonly used for storing cube textures and textures with precomputed mipmaps. This library also supports generating mipmaps for you.

Please refer to https://github.com/BinomialLLC/basis_universal for more details.

Status

These bindings should be production-ready. The API should remain fairly stable (assuming no major upstream changes in the wrapped basis-universal library)

Performance

The C++ code that is wrapped by these bindings is built at the same optimization level used for building the basis-universal-sys crate. Most users of these bindings will benefit from building this crate with optimizations enabled, even during development. To do that, place this in your Cargo.toml file.

[profile.dev.package."basis-universal-sys"]
opt-level = 3

Enable optimizations for ALL upstream crates works too:

[profile.dev.package."*"]
opt-level = 3
