This advice is only practical if you have proper import tooling that can transparently do this conversion for your engine and preserves import settings per asset. Otherwise, this just adds a ton of fragile manual steps to asset creation.

This can be solved with a few lines of python and a naming convention for texture file names (or alternatively a small json file per texture with metadata).
