Oh, neat. UIImage on iOS 9 can load PVRTC/ASTC compressed images directly.

@warrenm Useful! Now we just need better UIImage - Metal/GL compatibility.
@_psonice On the Metal front, MTKTextureLoader makes it pretty easy to go UIImage -> texture, via CGImage. What’s missing?
-
-
Using a UIImage(named:) with MTKTextureLoader (it's a PNG with alpha) throws error "Image decoding failed". Is there an obvious reason?
-
I can reproduce this on iOS 10.3.1. Please file a Radar.
-
In the meantime, try using UIImagePNGRepresentation on the image to get a Data and create the texture from that.
-
Got it! Thank you for the quick reply!
-
Always happy to help :)

I submitted a Radar and also put it on https://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=4985535642730496 …

@warrenm (Been dragged off onto something else for a bit, tho that’s been more fun… lots of AI and GL ES :) -
@_psonice Would love to see whatever you’re cooking up! -
@warrenm It’s just new features for my NightCap Pro app. I’m automating some very hard kinds of photography (if it works out!)

@warrenm Missing: enough experience with metal kit :) I was planning iOS 8 support for the project I’ll use this in. Probably make it 9 now.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
