A C/C++ library providing algorithms to optimize triangle meshes for GPU rendering, including vertex cache optimization, overdraw reduction, simplification, and mesh compression. It also ships gltfpack, a CLI tool for optimizing glTF assets, and bindings for Rust and JavaScript.

Use cases

• optimize meshes for faster GPU rendering
• reduce 3D model file size
• simplify high-poly meshes to lower triangle counts
• compress glTF assets for web delivery
• generate meshlets for GPU-driven rendering
• convert meshes to triangle strips
• quantize vertex attributes

When to choose

• you need production-grade mesh processing in C/C++ or via FFI
• you want to shrink and speed up 3D assets in a game engine or renderer
• you need to optimize glTF files for web or mobile delivery

When to avoid

• you need general-purpose image or texture compression
• you want a high-level scene graph or 3D modeling tool rather than a geometry algorithm library
