# DXT5nm

> Two-component DXT5nm-style normal map encoding.

## Definition

* **Namespace:** [UnityEditor](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor.md)

### Remarks

This is the default normal map encoding on non-mobile platforms.

Compared to [NormalMapEncoding.XYZ](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/normalmapencoding/xyz.md), the normal maps are of higher quality, but are more computationally expensive to decode in shaders.
