Non Square Textures

[JBR]

Hi,

I'm thinking of using a 1024 by 256 texture.

I know about using power of 2's but wondering if it will create a 1024 square texture, which adds memory, etc.

Thanks, Jim.

With monkey2 in the emscripten target you need the square textures. I think on other targets(non monkey also) being square is nit really needed.

Back in the day that would have been a problem, but today just stick to a power of 8 and you should be fine - like your 1024 by 256 example.

Both dimensions should be power of 2 to prevent resizing, but they don't have to be the same.  4 x 2048 is fine
