What is Substance Redux?

Substance Redux is an automated texture compression tool designed to help you reduce your content's footprint.

You already know the longer the initial download for your software and content, the smaller the potential client base. Substance Redux is an automatic texture compression tool that helps you halve the size of your dds dxt textures for faster digital distribution.

It doesn't require any specific skills (no authoring process necessary) and compressing a texture might take a few seconds at most.

Substance Redux reduces the size of bitmap textures stored in a downloadable client by about 50% (compared to dds dxt), without noticeable loss of quality in-game, and without impacting in-game performance.

Who is Substance Redux for?

Online game publishers Your game has already been released, or is in beta, and the downloadable client size is an issue. You are losing too many potential players because the download is too big and your bandwidth costs are surging.
Online game developers You are already at an advanced stage of development and your client size is getting too big for your target market.
3D engine providers You want to provide your licensees and prospective clients with the most powerful compression tool available on the market.

As textures represent on average 50% of your downloadable installer, solve the problem at the source: try Substance Redux and dramatically reduce your downloadable client sizes in no time!

How does Substance Redux work?

Substance Redux uses four in-house pieces of technology built in a way to provide a full compression pipeline:
  • Detailed texture map analysis to choose the optimal compression scheme
  • Use of custom automatic filters from our Substance technology to reduce potential artefacts and improve quality
  • Ultra fast in-house DXT compression at runtime
  • Plugins for UE3 and Gamebryo

The Allegorithmic Team will provide all evaluators with professional support for Substance Redux.
