Digital Whisper

Uncompressed textures quickly eat up VRAM, drop FPS, and break scene smoothness, so we strictly control their compression for stable performance.

We pick the right format for each job: masks - single channel with minimal detail loss; normals - efficient two-channel compression; color textures - a balance of quality and speed.

We enable virtual textures with prioritized streaming: nearby objects get textures first, distant ones stream on demand and only their visible parts. We use mip levels - at distance the texture detail is reduced without changing geometry, which saves memory and speeds up rendering.

Unreal profilers give us snapshots of memory usage - which textures/materials and objects are heavy. Based on this data we adjust scenes, keeping the balance between visual richness and smooth gameplay.
