Subject: P8 and exr

Can someone explain me why internaly P8 work with exr format ?

I look my PoserTextureCache folder while a render all the picture for texturing are about 900 Mb, it's enormous and slowly litterately process, loading texture, convert texture, using texture ... Why not using directly the proper format ?

V4 head texture is about 3 Mb, while render 65 Mb ... Something strange ...

V4 head texture is JPEG, not pixels. JPEG images are converted into the frequency domain and then the frequency data is compressed.

A 4K by 4K image is 65MB, uncompressed. This has nothing to do with EXR.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

OpenEXR supports tiled mip-maps - JPEG doesn't do that. Also, JPEG is a lossy format, where the EXR compression that Poser uses is lossless.

Tiled file formats allow a program to read just a section of it without having to read the entire file into memory. Poser leverages that feature in order to reduce the memory required when rendering: instead of having to read entire texture maps, the renderer can read only the sections it currently needs.
