This is especially useful in applications that use a lot of texture data, such as geospatial applications or games.</p> <p>ImageTexture and ImageTextureAtlas now also accept dds files: if loading a texture as a jpeg/gif/png fails, X3DOM tries to load it as a compressed texture if the corresponding WebGL extension exists on the client platform.
