Research direction

Start by locating the DirectXTexEXR implementation and the entry point that currently reads only the first image. Review how OpenEXR represents stereo images and mipmaps, then verify that stereo images are returned as image arrays and mipmap images are supported.

Description

exr

The OpenEXR format supports storing mipmaps and stereo images into files. The current implementation of DirectXTexEXR only reads the first image (which also works for cubemap base images).

Stereo images should be returnable as image arrays, and mipmaps should also be supported.
