I tried. PC2 skin size, 4096x6144.I think maybe some wires have been crossed? AO adds nothing to the size of the DDS. Maybe you are referencing mip maps? AO is part of the Kunos pipeline as despite what some people think, the game engine does not create any ambient occlusion at all, not in the way people think anyway. Refer back to my 2 screenshots. Both skins are the same file size but the bottom one has the AO layer merged into it.
No AO : 24mo
AO (DTX5): 24mo, visual artifacts
AO (Uncompressed): 96mo, no visual artifacts
Yeah, it might not be Kunos' pipeline but I'm not sticking with these big ass skins, I tried once and it's too much. Or maybe there's a better DDS format out there !
Or I've been doing it wrong for all this time lmao
