Texture upscaling and powers of two

[drarem]

If powers of 2 was obsolete with opengl 2+, why are we still using it with the required opengl4?

 

Case in point, I looked at a PNGs I copied to my image leadwerks folder with resolution of 1600x900. It becomes 2048x1024 as a .tex file according to when i click the info button in assets. This causes some barely noticeable blurriness when downscaled back to a 1600x900 window.

 

Thanks.

The default in LE is to convert the image to DXT1 which will scale the image to the closest power of 2 size. All of the DXT-compression options (and adding mipmaps) will do this. Just change the image compression back to 'Uncompressed', uncheck 'generate mipmaps', and then save the file, and the *.tex image will go back to the original size.
