With the thermostat thing. I will structure this ramble around "thermostat controls AC", but it will work the same way for heating just slightly inverted. Last time I heard of thermostats adjusting without consent it was during the night, and adjusting temps UP. WTF!.That makes.

RT @johnnysrq: @FoxNews What were the definitions before this?

Words have meaning, and using them incorrectly because it suits your agenda is how you end up with a Biden nominee that could not define "woman". I don't care where you are on the political spectrum, that is tactless and stupid. The meaning of the word is to be preserved.

Same goes for mesh assets too; IFF (and only if) you use some kind of mesh manipulation technique. (E.g. mesh shaders).

It will be a bit fiddly, and it will require the asset creators to create the assets with that strategy in mind, but it is very much possible. The fiddly bit is to do the merge on GPU, but not in the screen pipeline. That's where DX12/Vulkan/Metal comes in handy.

Let's say that the grime layer has sizes between 5% and 20% of the "all in one" texture. Let's say the average texture set is 1 unit. (the merged ones; stored on disk compressed) (200 units for the game; that one car type only).Best case scenario, 5%: 1 + 200*0.05 units = 11Units.

I don't have a specific game in mind by the way. Anyway: one car, 200 variants (just patina to make it look unique and worn). The grime/patina layer will compress really easily because it is a LOOOT of pure alpha transparent on it, and it's going to be grey-brown mostly.

Sorry to go on a rant, but I sort of have to. You don't need 200 unique textures for that one car. Instead, have one base texture, and 200 grime patterns that can be layered on top. It's dirt cheap to merge them load time. The grime pattern compresses well.
