[osg-users] compressed textures (DDS) and texture rectangles

[Robert Osfield]

HI Sherman,

I can't think of any problem with doing this.  If it works great! And
please send in the changes so I can get it in OSG svn :-)

FYI, use of TextureRectangle is no longer required for modern graphics
cards as they all support non power of two textures, which
osg::Texture2D supports as well - its turned off by default due to
historical problems with determining whether the feature is hardware
accelerated or not, but you can enable by setting

   texture->setResizeNonPowerOfTwoHint(false);

NPOT works on Nvidia 6 series onwards, not sure about the NVidia equivilant.

Robert.
