Research direction

Start with dependency issue #31 and the platform roadmap in #100, then inspect the desktop asset baking path and KTX2 handling. Choose an encoder after checking its license and per-RID packaging requirements, then determine how to bake BC7 color and BC5 normals. Done means desktop KTX2 payloads use those formats and VRAM reduction is measured on example scenes.
