Google and Binomial Contribute Basis Universal Texture Format to Khronos’ glTF 3D Transmission Open Standard
Similar in size to a JPEG image, .basis textures can be efficiently and flexibly transcoded to a wide variety of GPU native formats
 Google and Binomial announced that they have partnered to open source a sophisticated texture compressor and a high-performance transcoder for Binomial’s cross-platform Basis Universal texture format. This format can help solve a long-standing problem in the 3D ecosystem: how can 3D textures assets be efficiently packaged or transmitted for an application in a way that is both compact AND can be efficiently processed by the wide diversity of GPU hardware texture engines - each of which has a preferred native format?
