Alpha plates want a BC mode that still has a hole

Straight versus premultiplied

Already a DCC fight. Do not expect this encoder to fix fringe physics.

Size

Pad to what the runtime wants. NPOT can fail on old GLES.

How it works

  1. 1

    Checkerboard the PNG first

    If alpha is already wrong, DDS will not save you.

  2. 2

    Encode with an alpha-capable mode

    Per project docs.

  3. 3

    Import and look at edges in the viewport

    Mip fringes are an engine filter story too.

Use cases

HUD chrome

Holes that must stay holes.

Decals

Glass on a car. Proof at grazing angles.

Foliage cards

Alpha test versus blend is a material setting, not this page.

Problems we solve

JPEG source “converted to PNG” yesterday

The hole may already be mush. Start from a real PNG.

Opaque BC on a glass plate

Edges crawl. Wrong spoke energy.

Ignoring atlas padding

Bleed in mips. Fix layout in DCC.

Trust & technology

Local

UI kits stay in the tab.

We will not auto-pick BC for your title

Docs win.

Decode sibling if you need to look first
