# glTF Pipeline
[](https://github.com/CesiumGS/gltf-pipeline/blob/main/LICENSE.md)
[](https://travis-ci.org/CesiumGS/gltf-pipeline)
Content pipeline tools for optimizing [glTF](https://www.khronos.org/gltf) assets by [Richard Lee](http://leerichard.net/) and the [Cesium team](https://cesium.com/).
Supports common operations including:
- Converting glTF to glb (and reverse)
- Saving buffers/textures as embedded or separate files
- Converting glTF 1.0 models to glTF 2.0
- Applying [Draco](https://github.com/google/draco) mesh compression
`gltf-pipeline` can be used as a command-line tool or Node.js module.
## Getting Started
Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) if you don't already have it, and then:
```
npm install -g gltf-pipeline
```
### Using gltf-pipeline as a command-line tool:
#### Converting a glTF to glb
`gltf-pipeline -i model.gltf -o model.glb`
`gltf-pipeline -i model.gltf -b`
#### Converting a glb to glTF
`gltf-pipeline -i model.glb -o model.gltf`
`gltf-pipeline -i model.glb -j`
#### Converting a glTF to Draco glTF
`gltf-pipeline -i model.gltf -o modelDraco.gltf -d`
### Saving separate textures
`gltf-pipeline -i model.gltf -t`
### Using gltf-pipeline as a library:
#### Converting a glTF to glb:
```javascript
const gltfPipeline = require("gltf-pipeline");
const fsExtra = require("fs-extra");
const gltfToGlb = gltfPipeline.gltfToGlb;
const gltf = fsExtra.readJsonSync("./input/model.gltf");
const options = { resourceDirectory: "./input/" };
gltfToGlb(gltf, options).then(function (results) {
fsExtra.writeFileSync("model.glb", results.glb);
});
```
#### Converting a glb to embedded glTF
```javascript
const gltfPipeline = require("gltf-pipeline");
const fsExtra = require("fs-extra");
const glbToGltf = gltfPipeline.glbToGltf;
const glb = fsExtra.readFileSync("model.glb");
glbToGltf(glb).then(function (results) {
fsExtra.writeJsonSync("model.gltf", results.gltf);
});
```
#### Converting a glTF to Draco glTF
```javascript
const gltfPipeline = require("gltf-pipeline");
const fsExtra = require("fs-extra");
const processGltf = gltfPipeline.processGltf;
const gltf = fsExtra.readJsonSync("model.gltf");
const options = {
dracoOptions: {
compressionLevel: 10,
},
};
processGltf(gltf, options).then(function (results) {
fsExtra.writeJsonSync("model-draco.gltf", results.gltf);
});
```
#### Saving separate textures
```javascript
const gltfPipeline = require("gltf-pipeline");
const fsExtra = require("fs-extra");
const processGltf = gltfPipeline.processGltf;
const gltf = fsExtra.readJsonSync("model.gltf");
const options = {
separateTextures: true,
};
processGltf(gltf, options).then(function (results) {
fsExtra.writeJsonSync("model-separate.gltf", results.gltf);
// Save separate resources
const separateResources = results.separateResources;
for (const relativePath in separateResources) {
if (separateResources.hasOwnProperty(relativePath)) {
const resource = separateResources[relativePath];
fsExtra.writeFileSync(relativePath, resource);
}
}
});
```
### Command-Line Flags
| Flag | Description | Required |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| `--help`, `-h` | Display help | No |
| `--input`, `-i` | Path to the glTF or glb file. | :white_check_mark: Yes |
| `--output`, `-o` | Output path of the glTF or glb file. Separate resources will be saved to the same directory. | No |
| `--binary`, `-b` | Convert the input glTF to glb. | No, default `false` |
| `--json`, `-j` | Convert the input glb to glTF. | No, default `false` |
| `--separate`, `-s` | Write separate buffers, shaders, and textures instead of embedding them in the glTF. | No, default `false` |
| `--separateTextures`, `-t` | Write out separate textures only. | No, default `false` |
| `--stats` | Print statistics to console for output glTF file. | No, default `false` |
| `--keepUnusedElements` | Keep unused materials, nodes and meshes. | No, default `false` |
| `--keepLegacyExtensions` | When false, materials with `KHR_techniques_webgl`, `KHR_blend`, or `KHR_materials_common` will be converted to PBR. | No, default `false` |
| `--draco.compressMeshes`, `-d` | Compress the meshes using Draco. Adds the `KHR_draco_mesh_compression` extension. | No, default `false` |
| `--draco.compressionLevel` | Draco compression level [0-10], most is 10, least is 0. A value of 0 will apply sequential encoding and preserve face order. | No, default `7` |
| `--draco.quantizePositionBits` | Quantization bits for position attribute when using Draco compression. | No, default `11` |
| `--draco.quantizeNormalBits` | Quantization bits for normal attribute when using Draco compression. | No, default `8` |
| `--draco.quantizeTexcoordBits` | Quantization bits for texture coordinate attribute when using Draco compression. | No, default `10` |
| `--draco.quantizeColorBits` | Quantization bits for color attribute when using Draco compression. | No, default `8` |
| `--draco.quantizeGenericBits` | Quantization bits for skinning attribute (joint indices and joint weights) and custom attributes when using Draco compression. | No, default `8` |
| `--draco.unifiedQuantization` | Quantize positions of all primitives using the same quantization grid. If not set, quantization is applied separately. | No, default `false` |
| `--draco.uncompressedFallback` | Adds uncompressed fallback versions of the compressed meshes. | No, default `false` |
| `--baseColorTextureNames` | Names of uniforms that should be considered to refer to base color textures
when updating from the `KHR_techniques_webgl` extension to PBR materials. | No. (The defaults are not specified here) |
| `--baseColorFactorNames` | Names of uniforms that should be considered to refer to base color factors
when updating from the `KHR_techniques_webgl` extension to PBR materials. | No. (The defaults are not specified here) |
## Build Instructions
Run the tests:
```
npm run test
```
To run ESLint on the entire codebase, run:
```
npm run eslint
```
To run ESLint automatically when a file is saved, run the following and leave it open in a console window:
```
npm run eslint-watch
```
### Building for CesiumJS integration
Some functionality of gltf-pipeline is used by CesiumJS as a third party library. The necessary files can be generated using:
```
npm run build-cesium
```
This will output a portion of the gltf-pipeline code into the `dist/cesium` folder for use with CesiumJS in the browser. Copy the files into `Source/Scene/GltfPipeline/` in the [`cesium`](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium) repository and submit a pull request.
### Running Test Coverage
Coverage uses [nyc](https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc). Run:
```
npm run coverage
```
For complete coverage details, open `coverage/lcov-report/index.html`.
The tests and coverage covers the Node.js module; it does not cover the command-line interface, which is tiny.
## Generating Documentation
To generate the documentation:
```
npm run jsdoc
```
The documentation will be placed in the `doc` folder.
