The file sizes mean essentially nothing. Take the dimensions and multiply them then multiply for color depth (i.e. we use a lot of 256 color GIFs specifically to keep our textures small). Most likely when you load the PNG and JPG files they become 32 bit images inside Java.
Most likely I'd say that 2 Meg on disk is 20 to 40 meg inside Java. - John Wright Starfire Research Chad Zalkin wrote: > > The file size on disk is under 2 meg for all my textures (these are in the > compressed formats of png and jpg) I did not use 32 bit color, and I assume > the system keeps the textures uncompressed.
