💅 USDCOMPRESS(1) 💅

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for usdcompress from the usdcompress 26.11.1 era — yes we're folding that in up top because the header line doesn't need to be its own whole thing. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

usdcompress — literally just the manual page for usdcompress 26.11.1. that's the whole name section, she's short but she ate 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the way this tool wants to be called is, and I need you to copy this exactly because it's the whole vibe:

usdcompress [-h] -o file [-v] [-qp 0-30] [-qt 0-30] [-qn 0-30]
            [-cl 0-10] [--preserve_polygons 0|1] [--ignore_opinion_errors]
            input

🌈 friendly reminder that all of those flags are real and required-ish, don't go freestyling them, bestie.

🎀 positional arguments 🎀

• input — the input file. that's her. the main character we're reading from 👑

💖 options 💖

• -h, --help — prints this help message and dips out. iconic, no notes ✨
• -o, --out file — the output file. this one is a required friend — no output file, no output, periodt 💀
• -v, --verbose — turns on verbose output mode. she gets chatty. love that for her 🗣️
• -qp 0-30 — quantization bits for positions. the range is 0-30, respect it 🦋
• -qt 0-30 — quantization bits for textures, also 0-30. textures stay looking cute 🎀
• -qn 0-30 — quantization bits for normals, 0-30 again. yes all three have the same range, they're a matching set 😌
• -cl 0-10 — compression level, and best = 10. so like, crank it to ten if you want the best 🔥
• --preserve_polygons 0|1 — takes a 0 or a 1, that's the whole spec, no extra lore given 🙈
• --ignore_opinion_errors — proceed when opinions cannot be cleared. like bestie we go anyway, opinions or not 💀
