DDSopt – Optimization of DDS Textures
DDSopt is a tool which manages (preview & resizes) and recompresses your DDS-files. It is an optimal tool for ensuring your textures are saved in the right format, to create high quality DDS-textures from your sources (PNG etc.) and to package down-scaled versions of your textures. It has been forked off NIFopt and both programm share the same underlying technology regarding DDSs and BSAs. It does everything BSAopt does, you don’t need both tools.
Requires Vista (and up).
Fully multi-threaded, and for 32bit and 64bit Windows.
This is what it can do to the Skyrim-Textures and Mods:
Skyrim – Textures/ 2383177381 -> 2242262835 94.8%
Better Dwemer/ 232233284 -> 178661228 76.9%
Skyrim HD/ 1389453680 -> 1400638264 100.8% (“lots” of missing mip-maps)
Mods which have been DDS-optimized (besides my own):
