Description

Forum thread: https://forum.playcanvas.com/t/how-to-use-astc-compressed-textures-not-basis/23954

Basis is based on UASTC, which is a subset of ASTC. While it’s cool that it can be easily transcoded to other formats, I’d rather use specifically ASTC compressed textures where supported, since I’m getting significantly better quality than from the UASTC basis textures.
How can ASTC textures be used in playcanvas?
