Project Description
DirectXTex, a shared source library for reading and writing DDS files, and performing various texture content processing operations including resizing, format conversion, mip-map generation, block compression for Direct3D runtime texture resources, and height-map to normal-map conversion. This library makes use of the Windows Image Component (WIC) APIs. It also includes a simple .TGA reader and writer since this image file format is commonly used for texture content processing pipelines, but is not currently supported by a built-in WIC codec.

Supported platforms:

• Windows Store apps for Windows 8.1 / RT 8.1
• Windows Store apps for Windows 8 / RT 8
• Windows 8.x Win32 desktop
• Windows 7
• Windows Vista
• Windows Server equivalents of the above
• Windows XP Service Pack 3

Xbox One using the XDK and ADK is also supported. This includes some minor edits as well as some auxiliary platform-specific functions which are not yet present in the CodePlex version. See the xtexconv sample on the Microsoft Game Developer Network site https://developer.xboxlive.com/en-us/platform/development/education/Pages/Samples.aspx
