Question

Im looking for informations, how to uncompress pvr data to raw format like 8888.

For png there is libpng, for jpeg is libjpeg, is there something for pvr?

I dont want to use compressed texture in OpenGL (i have my reasons).

I know how to get infomation from header data, but how to uncompress image data from pvr?

You can find source code to decompress PVR texture in Imagination PowerVR OpenGL ES SDK located here: http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/sdk/KhronosOpenGLES2xSGX.asp

You’ll need following source files:

• PVRTDecompress.h/cpp
• PVRTTexture.h/cpp
• PVRTGlobal.h

Alternatively look at source code in oolongengine – it uses same source code to decompress PVR textures:

• Texture.h
• Texture.mm
