Web applications made with

@RollupJS

can now optimize and compress 3D models automatically! Try these new bundler plugins we built at

// *.config.js
import gltf from 'rollup-plugin-gltf'; // (a) Rollup
import gltf from 'vite-plugin-gltf'; // (b) Vite

import { prune, resample, draco } from "@gltf-transform/functions";

return {
// ...
plugins: [
gltf({
transforms: [
// remove unused resources
prune(),
// resample animations
resample(),
// compress mesh geometry
draco(),
]
})
]
}

Thread with use cases for custom 3D asset pipelines, built with glTF Transform today:

I'm really excited to see things like this! Custom 3D asset pipelines for the web, using glTF-Transform to do things I never planned for — lightmaps, reflection probes, spatial audio, spawn points, ... 1/ twitter.com/arobertlong/st…

Is this the right pattern for configs/plugins in a CLI? Taking inspiration from build tools like Rollup here. If you're using custom 3D model workflows today, would this work for you, and why?

Looking for feedback. I'm adding support for user config files in the glTF Transform CLI. With a custom config, projects can add new glTF processing commands and glTF extensions to a pipeline, without needing a custom build of the CLI. github.com/donmccurdy/glT

import { Session } from '@gltf-transform/cli';
import { acme, createDecoder, createEncoder } from './src/acme.js';

export default {
/** Custom extensions registered for all CLI commands. */
extensions: [
ACMECustomExtension1,
ACMECustomExtension2,
],

/** Dependencies needed by custom extensions (uncommon). */
dependencies: {
'acme.decoder': createDecoder(),
'acme.encoder': createEncoder(),
},

/** Callback used to register new CLI commands. */
onProgramReady: ({program, io}) => {
// See https://caporal.io/ for 'program' API.
program
.command('acme', 'ACME custom command')
.help('Lorem ipsum dolorem...')
.argument('<input>', 'Path to read')
.argument('<output>', 'Path to write')
.option('--bake', 'Whether to bake', {
validator: program.BOOLEAN,
default: false,
})
.action(({args, options, logger}) =>
Session.create(io, logger, args.input, args.output)
.transform(acme(options as PartitionOptions))
)

If you use Google for email, this seems like a good time to consider Advanced Account Protection. Other providers like FastMail offer Hardware 2FA as well. landing.google.com/advancedprotec 5/

landing.google.com

The strongest account security made to protect the personal data and information of people most at risk of phishing, hacking and targeted digital attacks.

Probably lots of people will give up on cloud-hosted vaults; personally I am not. 1Password gets important things right that LastPass did not — encrypt _everything_, and use an additional on-device secret key for encryption, not just the master password. support.1password.com/1password-secu

I'm already using 1Password, with Hardware 2FA on important accounts. My LastPass account was, luckily, empty. But looking forward to conversations with family about this at Christmas. 😔 4/

It's hard not to read this as a situation where some unknown number of LastPass users are going to be hacked. The risks sound much broader than LastPass is admitting. Or am I missing something here? 3/

Here's the guidance LastPass gave users. Not in the email, you have to click through. Looks like anyone with a strong password is fine, right? No, the 100,100 iterations LastPass claims to use is _not_ what older accounts get, you have to opt-in under "Advanced Settings". 2/

What Should LastPass Customers Do?

As a reminder, LastPass’ default master password settings and best practices include the following:

Since 2018, we have required a twelve-character minimum for master passwords. This greatly minimizes the ability for successful brute force password guessing.
To further increase the security of your master password, LastPass utilizes a stronger-than-typical implementation of 100,100 iterations of the Password-Based Key Derivation Function (PBKDF2), a password-strengthening algorithm that makes it difficult to guess your master password. You can check the current number of PBKDF2 iterations for your LastPass account here.
We also recommend that you never reuse your master password on other websites. If you reuse your master password and that password was ever compromised, a threat actor may use dumps of compromised credentials that are already available on the Internet to attempt to access your account (this is referred to as a “credential stuff

Latest LastPass breach details seem ... pretty bad. Hackers got backups of user vaults. Passwords are encrypted but not website URLs. LastPass response is not inspiring confidence either. 1/

gltfjsx v6 is out today. the tool turns models into declarative JSX. for a while now the --transform flag compressed your assets, in v6 it compresses the hell out of it using gltf-transform by

(draco, prune, webp & squoosh). it could turn a 100mb glb into kb's.
