About - tool and channel packing
The Texture Channel Packer (TCP) is an Unity editor tool that allowes you to combine color channels of different textures and merge them into one. A great way to decrease asset memory space!
- Load from anywhere on your computer
- Export to anywhere on your computer
Four separate texture (masks) take up 4 times more space. Combining them into one only takes up the same space of one texture, the other three are practically free.
This tool supports the PNG image format.
