✨ anytoucd — bestie edition ✨

okay so real quick, this is anytoucd from section 1gv of the manual, and it is literally the glow-up filter you didn't know you needed 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

anytoucd — a filter that takes a geomview data file and turns it into a data file in the so-called ucd (Unstructured Cell Data) format. yes bestie, it's giving "format makeover" 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

anytoucd

that's it. no flags, no drama, she just works 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: anytoucd reads a geom from standard in and outputs the equivalent ucd stream to standard out. pure pipeline energy, no cap 🌈

And before it does the ucd thing, anytoucd calls anytopl(1) first. so it's a little relay race of converters, and honestly? iconic 🏃‍♀️✨

The full documentation for the ucd format lives in AVS documentation — specifically in an appendix in the Developer's Guide. go read it if you want the deep lore 📚💜

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl, there are a couple things you should know before you get attached:

• Currently no support for vectors. like, none. zero. don't come for her 😭
• 4D OOGL objects are not treated correctly currently. so if you roll up with 4D OOGL, bestie, the vibes will be off 🙈

fr fr, treat both of these as known limitations and not as "she's broken" — she's just built different (specifically, built without these) 💅
