Pre-etc1-compressed texture

kkl · November 02, 2014, 01:01:41 PM

Hi Egon,

It seems like compressing texture takes a big amount of time to process. According to log, it takes around ~2306ms just to compress all textures. It would be great if we can provide the pre-compressed texture so it would be faster to process and we can save more battery. In my case, user will check how much battery my live wallpaper will consume in the phone settings. If users open and close the live wallpaper for multiple times, the battery consumption shoots really high because of the app initialization, which they will start complaining about the app.

For reference, here's the log during texture compression (Tested on Samsung Galaxy S4 with octa cores):

jPCT-AE doesn't support pre-compressed textures ATM for various reasons. But you should be able to cache them to avoid this additional step on each context change: http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/doc/com/threed/jpct/Config.html#cacheCompressedTextures. Maybe that helps.

EgonOlsen · November 02, 2014, 01:54:23 PM

In addition, you might want to use this option too: http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/doc/com/threed/jpct/Config.html#reuseTextureBuffers

kkl · November 02, 2014, 02:58:41 PM

Wao, it's 2x faster now! But only for subsequent use. It's alot slower for the 1st time. I guess I could stick with this for now. Are you planning to support pre-compressed texture anytime soon, or it's long way to go?

EgonOlsen · November 02, 2014, 03:16:43 PM

Using pre-compressed textures doesn't really fit well into the engine's texture pipeline and for now, i don't really think that the benefits are greater than the drawbacks, so i have no plans to support them any time soon.

kkl · November 03, 2014, 03:23:36 PM

That's too bad~ Really hope JPCT would support pre-compressed texture some day in the future ; )

Just another humble suggestion, how about if we have Texture class to have input from android.R.drawable as id. We can add one setting to determine we should grab the texels on demand. In that case, we can skip the virtualization part and save storage and processing power, bcause I notice storing texels can take some times too.

For illustration example:

Code Select


Config.shouldVirtualizeTexture = true;
Texture t = new Texture(R.drawable.texture1);
//At this point, no texels are grabbed yet, but drawable id is saved.

//1. Later in uploading textures, grab bitmap from android.R.drawable and texels from the bitmap after that in Texture class. 
//2. Upload the texels to GPU.
//3. Then dispose the texels and move to next textures.

What do you think? Is it going to be faster in this case? : )

EgonOlsen · November 03, 2014, 04:44:46 PM

I don't see why this should be any faster. The time that this would take will be exactly the same plus you would have to reload everything on each context change (i.e. pause/resume). The reason why each Texture instance keeps the texel data is not that it's loaded too early to upload it directly but because it needs this data again to recover from a GL context change.

kkl · November 04, 2014, 01:25:08 PM

You were right.. I tested getting the texels from disk using virtualizer and it's alot faster than getting bitmap using android.R. I guess jpct is still having the best solution so far. Thanks alot egon.
