DRACO_TRANSCODER(1)

💖 DRACO_TRANSCODER 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about draco_transcoder — that's the manual page for section 1, from the Draco Compression source. it's the transcoding tool and honestly? it eats. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

draco_transcoder — transcode compressed 3D geometric meshes and point clouds 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

draco_transcoder [options] -i input -o output

like, that's the whole vibe. options, an input, an output. slay. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so, Draco is a format for efficient compression of 3D graphics data — think geometric meshes, think point clouds. and draco_transcoder is the transcoding tool. that's it, that's the job. 🫶

the following options are available, and yes, we're doing all of them, no skipping, no cap:

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -i input — the input file name. the one you're feeding in. 💖
• -o output — the output file name. the one you get back. ✨
• -qp value — quantization bits for the position (default: 11). yes, 11, not 8, stay woke. 👀
• -qt value — quantization bits for the texture coordinates (default: 10)
• -qn value — quantization bits for the normal vector (default: 8)
• -qc value — quantization bits for the color attribute (default: 8)
• -qtg value — quantization bits for the tangent attribute (default: 8)
• -qw value — quantization bits for the weight attribute (default: 8)
• -qg value — quantization bits for any generic attribute (default: 8)

not me listing every single quantization flag with its exact default. bestie the q stands for quantization and every single one of these matters, iykyk. 🧚

• draco_encoder(1)

go read those too, they're the rest of the friend group fr fr. 💜

okay that's the whole page!! main character energy from start to finish. it's giving Draco Compression, section 1, and this was DRACO_TRANSCODER(1) — thanks for reading, love u, go compress something pretty 💖✨🌸🦋
