usage: meshtool --load_filter [--operation] [--save_filter]

Tool for manipulating mesh data using pycollada.

Loading:
  --load_collada file   Loads a collada file
  --load_obj file       Loads a Wavefront OBJ file

Printing:
  --print_textures      Prints a list of the embedded images in the mesh
  --print_render_info   Prints estimated number of batches, total number of
                        triangles, and total texture memory
  --print_json          Prints a bunch of information about the mesh in a JSON
                        format
  --print_info          Prints a bunch of information about the mesh to the
                        console
  --print_instances     Prints geometry instances from the default scene
  --print_scene         Prints the default scene tree
  --print_bounds        Prints bounds information about the mesh

Simplification:
  --sander_simplify pm_file
                        Simplifies the mesh based on sandler, et al. method.
  --add_back_pm pm_file percent
                        Adds back mesh data from a progressive PDAE file

Optimizations:
  --combine_effects     Combines identical effects
  --combine_materials   Combines identical materials
  --combine_primitives  Combines primitives within a geometry if they have the
                        same sources and scene material mapping (triangle sets
                        only)
  --strip_lines         Strips any lines from the document
  --strip_empty_geometry
                        Strips any empty geometry from the document and
                        removes them from any scenes
  --strip_unused_sources
                        Strips any source arrays from geometries if they
                        aren't referenced by any primitives
  --triangulate         Replaces any polylist or polygons with triangles
  --generate_normals    Generates normals for any triangle sets that don't
                        have any
  --save_mipmaps        Saves mipmaps to disk in tar format in the same
                        location as textures but with an added .tar. The
                        archive will contain PNG or JPG images.
  --optimize_textures   Converts all textures with alpha channel to PNG and
                        ones without to JPEG
  --adjust_texcoords    Adjusts texture coordinates of triangles so that they
                        are as close to the 0-1 range as possible
  --normalize_indices   Goes through all triangle sets, changing all index
                        values to go from 1 to N, replacing sources to be size
                        N
  --make_atlases        Makes a texture atlas with the textures referenced in
                        the given file. Extremely conservative: will only make
                        an atlas from texture coordinates inside the range
                        (0,1). Atlas can be saved with --save_collada_zip.
  --split_triangle_texcoords
                        Splits triangles that span multiple texcoords into
                        multiple triangles to better help texture atlasing
  --optimize_sources    Compresses sources to unique values, updating
                        triangleset indices

Visualizations:
  --viewer              Uses panda3d to bring up a viewer
  --collada_viewer      Uses panda3d to bring up a viewer with lights and
                        camera from the collada file
  --pm_viewer pm_file   Uses panda3d to bring up a viewer of a base mesh and
                        progressive stream

Meta:
  --medium_optimizations
                        A meta filter that runs a safe, medium-level of
                        optimizations. Performs these filters in this order:
                        triangulate, generate_normals, combine_effects,
                        combine_materials, combine_primitives,

                        optimize_textures
  --full_optimizations  A meta filter that runs all optimizations. Performs
                        these filters in this order: triangulate,
                        generate_normals, combine_effects, combine_materials,
                        combine_primitives, adjust_texcoords,
                        optimize_textures, split_triangle_texcoords,
                        normalize_indices, make_atlases, combine_effects,
                        combine_materials, combine_primitives,
