Abstract
One embodiment of a computer-implemented method for decompressing a compressed texture block includes identifying a first texel included in a plurality of texels, wherein the plurality of texels forms at least a portion of a compressed texture block; determining a first location within the compressed texel block that corresponds to the first texel; and extracting the first texel from the first location without decompressing any of the other texels included in the plurality of texels.
