# Etc2Comp - Texture to ETC2 compressor
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Etc2Comp is a command line tool that converts textures (e.g. bitmaps)
|
|||
|
into the [ETC2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericsson_Texture_Compression)
|
|||
|
format. The tool is built with a focus on encoding performance
|
|||
|
to reduce the amount of time required to compile asset heavy applications as
|
|||
|
well as reduce overall application size.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This repo provides source code that can be compiled into a binary. The
|
|||
|
binary can then be used to convert textures to the ETC2 format.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Important: This is not an official Google product. It is an experimental
|
|||
|
library published as-is. Please see the CONTRIBUTORS.md file for information
|
|||
|
about questions or issues.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Setup
|
|||
|
This project uses [CMake](https://cmake.org/) to generate platform-specific
|
|||
|
build files:
|
|||
|
- Linux: make files
|
|||
|
- OS X: Xcode workspace files
|
|||
|
- Microsoft Windows: Visual Studio solution files
|
|||
|
- Note: CMake supports other formats, but this doc only provides steps for
|
|||
|
one of each platform for brevity.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Refer to each platform's setup section to setup your environment and build
|
|||
|
an Etc2Comp binary. Then skip to the usage section of this page for examples
|
|||
|
of how to use the library.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Setup for OS X
|
|||
|
build tested on this config:
|
|||
|
OS X 10.9.5 i7 16GB RAM
|
|||
|
Xcode 5.1.1
|
|||
|
cmake 3.2.3
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Start by downloading and installing the following components if they are not
|
|||
|
already installed on your development machine.
|
|||
|
- *Xcode* version 5.1.1, or greater
|
|||
|
- [CMake](https://cmake.org/download/) version 3.2.3, or greater
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To build the Etc2Comp binary:
|
|||
|
1. Open a *Terminal* window and navigate to the project directory.
|
|||
|
1. Run `mkdir build_xcode`
|
|||
|
1. Run `cd build_xcode`
|
|||
|
1. Run `cmake -G Xcode ../`
|
|||
|
1. Open *Xcode* and import the `build_xcode/EtcTest.xcodeproj` file.
|
|||
|
1. Open the Product menu and choose Build For -> Running.
|
|||
|
1. Once the build succeeds the binary located at `build_xcode/EtcTool/Debug/EtcTool`
|
|||
|
can be executed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Optional
|
|||
|
Xcode EtcTool ‘Run’ preferences
|
|||
|
note: if the build_xcode/EtcTest.xcodeproj is manually deleted then some Xcode preferences
|
|||
|
will need to be set by hand after cmake is run (these prefs are retained across
|
|||
|
cmake updates if the .xcodeproj is not deleted/removed)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Set the active scheme to ‘EtcTool’
|
|||
|
1. Edit the scheme
|
|||
|
1. Select option ‘Run EtcTool’, then tab ‘Arguments’.
|
|||
|
Add this launch argument: ‘-argfile ../../EtcTool/args.txt’
|
|||
|
1. Select tab ‘Options’ and set a custom working directory to: ‘$(SRCROOT)/Build_Xcode/EtcTool’
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### SetUp for Windows
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Open a *Terminal* window and navigate to the project directory.
|
|||
|
1. Run `mkdir build_vs`
|
|||
|
1. Run `cd build_vs`
|
|||
|
1. Run CMAKE, noting what build version you need, and pointing to the parent directory as the source root;
|
|||
|
For VS 2013 : `cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" ../`
|
|||
|
For VS 2015 : `cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ../`
|
|||
|
NOTE: To see what supported Visual Studio outputs there are, run `cmake -G`
|
|||
|
1. open the 'EtcTest' solution
|
|||
|
1. make the 'EtcTool' project the start up project
|
|||
|
1. (optional) in the project properties, under 'Debugging ->command arguments'
|
|||
|
add the argfile textfile thats included in the EtcTool directory.
|
|||
|
example: -argfile C:\etc2\EtcTool\Args.txt
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Setup For Linux
|
|||
|
The Linux build was tested on this config:
|
|||
|
Ubuntu desktop 14.04
|
|||
|
gcc/g++ 4.8
|
|||
|
cmake 2.8.12.2
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Verify linux has cmake and C++-11 capable g++ installed
|
|||
|
1. Open shell
|
|||
|
1. Run `mkdir build_linux`
|
|||
|
1. Run `cd build_linux`
|
|||
|
1. Run `cmake ../`
|
|||
|
1. Run `make`
|
|||
|
1. navigate to the newly created EtcTool directory `cd EtcTool`
|
|||
|
1. run the executable: `./EtcTool -argfile ../../EtcTool/args.txt`
|
|||
|
|
|||

|
|
|||
|
## Usage
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Command Line Usage
|
|||
|
EtcTool can be run from the command line with the following usage:
|
|||
|
etctool.exe source_image [options ...] -output encoded_image
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The encoder will use an array of RGBA floats read from the source_image to create
|
|||
|
an ETC1 or ETC2 encoded image in encoded_image. The RGBA floats should be in the
|
|||
|
range [0:1].
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Options:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-analyze <analysis_folder>
|
|||
|
-argfile <arg_file> additional command line arguments read from a file
|
|||
|
-blockAtHV <H V> encodes a single block that contains the
|
|||
|
pixel specified by the H V coordinates
|
|||
|
-compare <comparison_image> compares source_image to comparison_image
|
|||
|
-effort <amount> number between 0 and 100 to specify the encoding quality
|
|||
|
(100 is the highest quality)
|
|||
|
-errormetric <error_metric> specify the error metric, the options are
|
|||
|
rgba, rgbx, rec709, numeric and normalxyz
|
|||
|
-format <etc_format> ETC1, RGB8, SRGB8, RGBA8, SRGB8, RGB8A1,
|
|||
|
SRGB8A1 or R11
|
|||
|
-help prints this message
|
|||
|
-jobs or -j <thread_count> specifies the number of threads (default=1)
|
|||
|
-normalizexyz normalize RGB to have a length of 1
|
|||
|
-verbose or -v shows status information during the encoding
|
|||
|
process
|
|||
|
-mipmaps or -m <mip_count> sets the maximum number of mipaps to generate (default=1)
|
|||
|
-mipwrap or -w <x|y|xy> sets the mipmap filter wrap mode (default=clamp)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -analyze will run an analysis of the encoding and place it in folder
|
|||
|
"analysis_folder" (e.g. ../analysis/kodim05). within the analysis_folder, a folder
|
|||
|
will be created with a name of the current date/time (e.g. 20151204_153306). this
|
|||
|
date/time folder is used to compare encodings of the same texture over time.
|
|||
|
within the date/time folder is a text file with several encoding stats and a 2x png
|
|||
|
image showing the encoding mode for each 4x4 block.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -argfile allows additional command line arguments to be placed in a text file
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -blockAtHV selects the 4x4 pixel subset of the source image at position (H,V).
|
|||
|
This is mainly used for debugging
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -compare compares the source image to the created encoded image. The encoding
|
|||
|
will dictate what error analysis is used in the comparison.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -effort uses an "amount" between 0 and 100 to determine how much additional effort
|
|||
|
to apply during the encoding.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -errormetric selects the fitting algorithm used by the encoder. "rgba" calculates
|
|||
|
RMS error using RGB components that are weighted by A. "rgbx" calculates RMS error
|
|||
|
using RGBA components, where A is treated as an additional data channel, instead of
|
|||
|
as alpha. "rec709" is similar to "rgba", except the RGB components are also weighted
|
|||
|
according to Rec709. "numeric" calculates RMS error using unweighted RGBA components.
|
|||
|
"normalize" calculates error based on dot product and vector length for RGB and RMS
|
|||
|
error for A.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -help prints out the usage message
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -jobs enables multi-threading to speed up image encoding
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -normalizexyz normalizes the source RGB to have a length of 1.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -verbose shows information on the current encoding process. It will then display the
|
|||
|
PSNR and time time it took to encode the image.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -mipmaps takes an argument that specifies how many mipmaps to generate from the
|
|||
|
source image. The mipmaps are generated with a lanczos3 filter using edge clamping.
|
|||
|
If the mipmaps option is not specified no mipmaps are created.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* -mipwrap takes an argument that specifies the mipmap filter wrap mode. The options
|
|||
|
are "x", "y" and "xy" which specify wrapping in x only, y only or x and y respectively.
|
|||
|
The default options are clamping in both x and y.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Note: Path names can use slashes or backslashes. The tool will convert the
|
|||
|
slashes to the appropriate polarity for the current platform.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## API
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The library supports two different APIs - a C-like API that is not heavily
|
|||
|
class-based and a class-based API.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
main() in EtcTool.cpp contains an example of both APIs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Encode() method now returns an EncodingStatus that contains bit flags for
|
|||
|
reporting various warnings and flags encountered when encoding.
