Schema & Settings v1.0

Introduction

The 3D Processing Schema is a set of rules that represent and validate the structure and format of RapidPipeline's 3D processing functionalities.

tip

In addition to describing the structure of data, schemas apply constraints and expectations to data so it can be validated as it moves between systems. These standard definitions allow data to be interpreted consistently, regardless of origin, and remove the need for translation across applications.

RapidPipeline maintains this semantic normalization by using schemas. Schemas are the standard way of describing data processes in RapidPipeline, allowing all data that conforms to schemas to be reused across all different tools and interfaces without conflicts.

RapidPipeline 3D Processing Configuration Settings adhere to the 3D Processing Schema and are designed to achieve any 3D processing goal.

The 3D Processing Schema v1.0 is utilized by multiple RapidPipeline Software Packages making use of the 3D Processor:

Software Package	Schema	Description
3D Processor CLI v7.0.0	3D Processing Schema v1.0	Direct operations on the 3D Data, such as Optimization, Compression, etc.

3D Processing Settings

3D Processing settings are types of settings operating directly on a 3D model and are able to alter the entire structure or re-create meshes, materials, UVs, texture maps and other 3D model properties.

A set of 3D processing configuration settings in the RapidPipeline Web Platform is described as a 3D Processor Preset.

tip

The settings as displayed within the In the JSON Settings File sections are all utilizing an additional simple glTF export.

This is only needed if the given config is solely utilized with no other (export) configuration given, as the 3D Processing Schema requires at least one file export. More about file exports and settings within the export format section.

Preset Examples

In order to try out some example presets the new 3D Processor Presets in the RapidPipeline Web Platform can be utilized.

info

See the update regarding the new presets in the Product Updates section here

To download a preset in editable JSON format, activate Preview New Settings with the radio button and download the respective settings JSON files via the Actions menu:

These JSON settings files can be ingested by the RapidPipeline Blender Plugin or the RapidPipeline 3D Processor CLI.

Drop Uniform Texture Maps

The default setting (basic level) steers all existing texture map types. If specific threshold settings (advanced level) are set, the respective settings overwrite the default.

The threshold ( 0 to 1) reflects RGB values. If for example "default": 1.0 is set, all texture maps get converted to the respective values.

Optimize 🚀

The Optimize category contains the main functionalities for Mesh and Material Optimization, including options for decimation, remeshing, texture atlas baking, UV aggregation, and more.

3D Model Optimization Method

Choice of the major Optimization method.

There are 2 main options to choose from:

🎨 Material Optimization
🌐🎨 Mesh and Material Optimization

Material Optimization 🎨

Main option for optimizing the model's materials, including material merging, UV (atlas) generation, Texture Baking, and more. Keeps mesh topology as is.

There are multiple options available:

Material Merger
Keep Materials and UVs
Material and UV Aggregator

Material Merger

Option which merges materials according to existing material properties if possible (currently the merging method is set to "auto" = merges materials by opacity and keeps non-combinable materials separate). Optionally preserves materials with tiled UVs.

Additional UV (atlas) unwrapping and texture baking options are available via the Material Regenerator in order to project the original material properties onto the merged output materials.

Material Regenerator

The Material Regenerator makes sure the merged or otherwise altered materials are inheriting the original material properties or alternatively get assigned new materials and UVs.

The following options are available:

Generate UV Atlas + Texture Baker
Material Replacer + Default Material (+ Unwrapping Options)
Material Replacer + Drop Uniform Texture Maps

Choice Between UV atlas generator or material replacer.

info

Required if Material Merger is used.

Material Regenerator + UV Atlas Generator + Texture Baker

This is the most common usage of the Material Regenerator within the RapidPipeline 3D Processor.

It enables creation of new UV atlases corresponding to the (new, merged) output materials and baking from the original input materials and meshes onto the merged or otherwise altered output materials and meshes.

This process does consider all (PBR) material properties and is able to project from material, vertex colors and other material attributes to texture maps as well as perform normal map and ao baking to capture mesh, normal and occlusions from the original data.

Mesh and Material Optimization 🌐🎨

Main option for optimizing the model's meshes and materials, including mesh decimation, remeshing, material merging, UV (atlas) generation, Texture Baking, and more.

Two main options to choose from, each has different sub-options:

Remesher
- Material Merger
Decimator

Remesher 🌟

Remeshes the original mesh and decimates to a face target.

info

Due to the entire re-creation of the original surface, original materials and UVs can not be kept. Material Merger and Regenerator are therefore required in order to reproject original mesh and material properties.

Faces Percentage	percentage	basic	number [>= 0 && <= 100] (100)	target percentage of faces for the decimation after the remeshing process

tip

The default of 100% results in exactly the original mesh resolution of the input, as the remeshed surface is always decimated after the initial remeshing. The initial resolution of the remeshing process can be steered with the remeshing resolution setting.

The default of 100% results in the exact same mesh resolution than the input.

Setting Title	Setting Name	Level	Type [`Range`] (`Default`)	Description
Faces Value	value	basic	integer [>= 1] (1)	target faces value for the decimation after the remeshing process

tip

The default of 1 is not recommended for an actual production config. We recommend at least 1,000 faces.

info

In theory, the target face value can be higher than the input, achieving a denser mesh than the original (depending on the remeshing resolution setting).

Material Merger (Remesher)

Material Regenerator (Remesher)

The Material Regenerator makes sure the merged or otherwise altered materials are inheriting the original material properties or alternatively get assigned new materials and UVs.

The following options are available:

Generate UV Atlas + Texture Baker
Material Replacer + Default Material (+ Unwrapping Options)
Material Replacer + Drop Uniform Texture Maps

Choice Between UV atlas generator or material replacer.

Drop Uniform Texture Maps (Remesher)

The default setting (basic level) steers all existing texture map types. If specific threshold settings (advanced level) are set, the respective settings overwrite the default.

The threshold ( 0 to 1) reflects RGB values. If for example "default": 1.0 is set, all texture maps get converted to the respective values.

Settings
Same Settings as in Drop Uniform Texture Maps Section within 3D Edit

Decimator 💎

The Decimator is capable of reducing mesh complexity while being able to keep important properties such as original UV coordinates, normals and topology in place.

info

Mesh Decimation is computed directly from the original mesh, therefore the quality of the results highly depends on the quality of the input topology.

Faces (Target)

Face Targets for the Decimation Operation.

info

In conjunction with Mesh Deviation they serve as a cap for the maximum allowed number of faces.

Faces Percentage

Setting Title	Setting Name	Level	Type [`Range`] (`Default`)	Description
Faces Percentage	percentage	basic	number [>= 0 && <= 100] (100)	target percentage of faces for the decimation process

tip

The default of 100% results in the exact same mesh resolution than the input.

Faces Value

Setting Title	Setting Name	Level	Type [`Range`] (`Default`)	Description
Faces Value	value	basic	integer [>= 1] (1)	target faces value for the decimation process

tip

The default of 1 is not recommended for an actual production config. We recommend at least 1,000 faces.

Deviation (Target)

Mesh Deviation between original and decimated surface.

info

Deviation works in conjunction with any Face Target, which will serve as a cap for the maximum allowed number of faces.

Deviation Percentage

tip

For highly detailed complex 3D assets, to achieve a reasonably small deviation we recommend a percentage of 0.05% or less, and for a rather medium deviation from the input a percentage around 0.3%

Setting Title	Setting Name	Level	Type [`Range`] (`Default`)	Description
Deviation Percentage	percentage	basic	number [>= 0 && <= 100] (0)	target percentage of deviation relative to the original mesh

Deviation Value

tip

If you are unsure about scene units, we recommend to utilize Deviation Percentage instead in order to always stay relative in terms of deviation from input mesh.

Setting Title	Setting Name	Level	Type [`Range`] (`Default`)	Description
Faces Value	value	basic	integer [>= 0] (0)	target deviation value in absolute scene units

Material Optimization (Decimator)

Option within Decimator for optimizing the model's materials, including material merging, UV (atlas) generation, Texture Baking, and more.

There are multiple options available to pair the decimation process with:

Material Merger
Keep Materials and UVs
Material and UV Aggregator

Material Merger (Decimator)

Additional UV (atlas) unwrapping and texture baking options are available via the Material Regenerator in order to project the original material properties onto the merged output materials.

Drop Uniform Texture Maps (Material Merger + Regenerator + Replacer) (Decimator)

The default setting (basic level) steers all existing texture map types. If specific threshold settings (advanced level) are set, the respective settings overwrite the default.

The threshold ( 0 to 1) reflects RGB values. If for example "default": 1.0 is set, all texture maps get converted to the respective values.

}

Setting Title	Setting Name	Level	Type [`Range`] (`Default`)	Description
Animation Curve Simplification	simplification	basic	string [conservative, aggressive, extreme] (conservative)	specify how much to simplify animation curves

Modifier

Optional additional optimization which will alter the output data according to the given modifier type.

All modifiers take effect after the Optimize and Export settings and generally try to respect the settings (e.g compression, texture map formats etc.).

However in a lot of cases the modifiers will overwrite settings which need to be altered to achieve a certain modifier goal (e.g. a certain file size or size on screen resolution etc.).

info

If no optimization settings are set, the modifiers will still optimize to the given target if needed (e.g. a certain number of MB). In that case default optimization settings are utilized.

File Size 💾

Modifier which alters the optimization settings in order to meet a given maximum file size (MB).
