Support for Loading Compressed Images in VRCImageDownloader
かいざー
### Current Issue
- VRCImageDownloader currently only supports loading uncompressed images.
- Uncompressed images consume a significant amount of VRAM, making it difficult to use conveniently.
### Proposed Solution
- Add the ability to load compressed files in VRCImageDownloader.
- This would reduce download sizes and lower overall system load.
- Alternatively, implement this functionality as a new component instead of integrating it directly into VRCImageDownloader.
### Additional Information
Implementing this feature would enhance user convenience and allow more users to effectively utilise VRCImageDownloader. Please consider this request.

Compressed you mean BC / DXT format?
かいざー
kawashirov Yes.
If it could be compressed in BC / DXT format, it would perform somewhat better.

かいざー You see it's platform dependent. As I know BC/DXT is not well-supported on mobile platforms, and mobile formats also sometimes isn't supported on desktops.
This requires something like remote asset variants depending on the platform
