Texture Compression: THUMB: Two Hues Using Modified Brightess

We present a new texture compression system called THUMB, that can be used either as a stand-alone compression system or in combination with the iPACKMAN algorithm. We show how the combined system improves quality in the test images we have used, especially in the image blocks most problematic to iPACKMAN.
