NAME¶

stl_decimate - stl_decimate simplifies the provided STL file using Sven Forstmann's implementation of Fast Quadric Mesh Simplification: https://github.com/sp4cerat/Fast-Quadric-Mesh-Simplification

DESCRIPTION¶

stl_decimate simplifies the provided STL file using Sven Forstmann's implementation of Fast Quadric Mesh Simplification: https://github.com/sp4cerat/Fast-Quadric-Mesh-Simplification

usage: stl_decimate [ -t <target triangle count> ] [ -p <percentage of triangles to keep> ] <input file> <output file>

Outputs a simplified version of the input mesh. -t is used to specifiy an exact triangle count (an integer). -p is used to specifiy a fraction of the starting triangle count (a floating point number between 0 and 1). If both -t and -p are used, the smaller number of triangles is used. If neither are provided, -p defaults to .5.
