Format	DDS
Company	Microsoft
Description	Формат DirectDraw Surface (.dds) используется для хранения текстур и кубических карт окружения, в сжатом и несжатом виде. Поэтому этот формат подходит для хранения сжатых данных DXTn, используемых в графических процессорах и консолях, например, Playstation 3 и Xbox 360.
Benefits	GPU-native. A DDS texture loads as-is into video memory — no CPU-side decoding, dramatically faster level loads. Stores mipmaps inline (pre-computed smaller versions for rendering at a distance). Supports cubemaps for skyboxes and reflections. Broadly supported in game engines: Unreal, Unity, Source, id Tech, and most modding tools.
Drawbacks	Hardware-oriented format — most image viewers and editors either can't open it or strip the GPU-specific metadata when saving. DXT/S3TC compression is lossy and blocky on gradients (avoid for UI art). File sizes are fixed by texture dimensions and compression choice, not image complexity — a mostly-black 2048×2048 DXT5 is the same ~5.5 MB as a detailed one.
