Texture Memory Optimization Problem (PoT rule)

@Tom

The guide that you are referencing to is outdated. the “Power of 2” (PoT) rule applied to openGL 1.x in Corona’s Graphics 1 days. Our current CoronaSDK uses openGL 2.x which doesn’t have the PoT limitation. This means the texture memory number that is returned should match the actual size of the images loaded.

Oooooh snap  :blink:  So many hours wasted :( This is kind of really important news  :huh: How can I have missed this  :wacko:

The PoT rule is still not a bad rule to follow as it’s worst case.

Once again, this change is such a big change that I feel it should be mentioned on the blog, in my opinion.
