# <li>Specify both #aiProcess_Triangulate and #aiProcess_SortByPType <li>
# <li>Ignore all point and line meshes when you process assimp's output<li>
# <ul>

#
# The components to be removed are specified in a separate
# configuration option, <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_RVC_FLAGS<tt>. This is quite useful
# if you don't need all parts of the output structure. Vertex colors
# are rarely used today for example... Calling this step to remove unneeded
# data from the pipeline as early as possible results in increased
# performance and a more optimized output data structure.
# This step is also useful if you want to force Assimp to recompute
# normals or tangents. The corresponding steps don't recompute them if
# they're already there (loaded from the source asset). By using this
# step you can make sure they are NOT there.
#
# This flag is a poor one, mainly because its purpose is usually
# misunderstood. Consider the following case: a 3D model has been exported
# from a CAD app, and it has per-face vertex colors. Vertex positions can't be
# shared, thus the #aiProcess_JoinIdenticalVertices step fails to
# optimize the data because of these nasty little vertex colors.
# Most apps don't even process them, so it's all for nothing. By using
# this step, unneeded components are excluded as early as possible
# thus opening more room for internal optimizations.

## <hr>Generates normals for all faces of all meshes.
#
# This is ignored if normals are already there at the time this flag
# is evaluated. Model importers try to load them from the source file, so
# they're usually already there. Face normals are shared between all points

#
# This flag may not be specified together with

# <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_GSN_MAX_SMOOTHING_ANGLE<tt> which allows you to specify
# an angle maximum for the normal smoothing algorithm. Normals exceeding

# Using a decent angle here (e.g. 80 degrees) results in very good visual
# appearance.
#
aiProcess_GenSmoothNormals = 0x40
## <hr>Splits large meshes into smaller sub-meshes.
#
# This is quite useful for real-time rendering, where the number of triangles
# which can be maximally processed in a single draw-call is limited
# by the video driverhardware. The maximum vertex buffer is usually limited
# too. Both requirements can be met with this step: you may specify both a
# triangle and vertex limit for a single mesh.
#
# The split limits can (and should!) be set through the
# <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_SLM_VERTEX_LIMIT<tt> and <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_SLM_TRIANGLE_LIMIT<tt>
# settings. The default values are <tt>#AI_SLM_DEFAULT_MAX_VERTICES<tt> and
# <tt>#AI_SLM_DEFAULT_MAX_TRIANGLES<tt>.

## <hr>Removes the node graph and pre-transforms all vertices with
# the local transformation matrices of their nodes.
#
# The output scene still contains nodes, however there is only a
# root node with children, each one referencing only one mesh,
# and each mesh referencing one material. For rendering, you can
# simply render all meshes in order - you don't need to pay
# attention to local transformations and the node hierarchy.
# Animations are removed during this step.
# This step is intended for applications without a scenegraph.
# The step CAN cause some problems: if e.g. a mesh of the asset
# contains normals and another, using the same material index, does not,
# they will be brought together, but the first meshes's part of
# the normal list is zeroed. However, these artifacts are rare.
# @note The <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_PTV_NORMALIZE<tt> configuration property

## <hr>Limits the number of bones simultaneously affecting a single vertex
# to a maximum value.
#
# If any vertex is affected by more than the maximum number of bones, the least
# important vertex weights are removed and the remaining vertex weights are
# renormalized so that the weights still sum up to 1.
# The default bone weight limit is 4 (defined as <tt>#AI_LMW_MAX_WEIGHTS<tt> in
# config.h), but you can use the <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_LBW_MAX_WEIGHTS<tt> setting to
# supply your own limit to the post processing step.

# If you intend to perform the skinning in hardware, this post processing
# step might be of interest to you.

## <hr>Validates the imported scene data structure.
# This makes sure that all indices are valid, all animations and
# bones are linked correctly, all material references are correct .. etc.
#
# It is recommended that you capture Assimp's log output if you use this flag,
# so you can easily find out what's wrong if a file fails the
# validation. The validator is quite strict and will find #all#
# inconsistencies in the data structure... It is recommended that plugin
# developers use it to debug their loaders. There are two types of
# validation failures:
# <ul>
# <li>Error: There's something wrong with the imported data. Further
# postprocessing is not possible and the data is not usable at all.
# The import fails. #Importer::GetErrorString() or #aiGetErrorString()
# carry the error message around.<li>
# <li>Warning: There are some minor issues (e.g. 1000000 animation
# keyframes with the same time), but further postprocessing and use
# of the data structure is still safe. Warning details are written
# to the log file, <tt>#AI_SCENE_FLAGS_VALIDATION_WARNING<tt> is set
# in #aiScene::mFlags<li>
# <ul>
#
# This post-processing step is not time-consuming. Its use is not
# compulsory, but recommended.
#
aiProcess_ValidateDataStructure = 0x400
## <hr>Reorders triangles for better vertex cache locality.
#
# The step tries to improve the ACMR (average post-transform vertex cache
# miss ratio) for all meshes. The implementation runs in O(n) and is
# roughly based on the 'tipsify' algorithm (see <a href="
# http:www.cs.princeton.edugfxpubsSander_2007_%3ETRtipsy.pdf">this
# paper<a>).
#
# If you intend to render huge models in hardware, this step might
# be of interest to you. The <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_ICL_PTCACHE_SIZE<tt>config
# setting can be used to fine-tune the cache optimization.
#
aiProcess_ImproveCacheLocality = 0x800
## <hr>Searches for redundantunreferenced materials and removes them.
#
# This is especially useful in combination with the
# #aiProcess_PretransformVertices and #aiProcess_OptimizeMeshes flags.
# Both join small meshes with equal characteristics, but they can't do
# their work if two meshes have different materials. Because several
# material settings are lost during Assimp's import filters,
# (and because many exporters don't check for redundant materials), huge
# models often have materials which are are defined several times with
# exactly the same settings.
#
# Several material settings not contributing to the final appearance of
# a surface are ignored in all comparisons (e.g. the material name).
# So, if you're passing additional information through the
# content pipeline (probably using #magic# material names), don't
# specify this flag. Alternatively take a look at the
# <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_RRM_EXCLUDE_LIST<tt> setting.
#
aiProcess_RemoveRedundantMaterials = 0x1000
## <hr>This step tries to determine which meshes have normal vectors
# that are facing inwards and inverts them.
#
# The algorithm is simple but effective:
# the bounding box of all vertices + their normals is compared against
# the volume of the bounding box of all vertices without their normals.
# This works well for most objects, problems might occur with planar
# surfaces. However, the step tries to filter such cases.
# The step inverts all in-facing normals. Generally it is recommended
# to enable this step, although the result is not always correct.
#
aiProcess_FixInfacingNormals = 0x2000
## <hr>This step splits meshes with more than one primitive type in
# homogeneous sub-meshes.
#
# The step is executed after the triangulation step. After the step
# returns, just one bit is set in aiMesh::mPrimitiveTypes. This is
# especially useful for real-time rendering where point and line
# primitives are often ignored or rendered separately.
# You can use the <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_SBP_REMOVE<tt> option to specify which
# primitive types you need. This can be used to easily exclude
# lines and points, which are rarely used, from the import.
#
aiProcess_SortByPType = 0x8000
## <hr>This step searches all meshes for degenerate primitives and
# converts them to proper lines or points.
#
# A face is 'degenerate' if one or more of its points are identical.
# To have the degenerate stuff not only detected and collapsed but
# removed, try one of the following procedures:
# <br><b>1.<b> (if you support lines and points for rendering but don't
# want the degenerates)<br>
# <ul>
# <li>Specify the #aiProcess_FindDegenerates flag.
# <li>
# <li>Set the <tt>AI_CONFIG_PP_FD_REMOVE<tt> option to 1. This will
# cause the step to remove degenerate triangles from the import
# as soon as they're detected. They won't pass any further
# pipeline steps.
# <li>
# <ul>
# <br><b>2.<b>(if you don't support lines and points at all)<br>
# <ul>
# <li>Specify the #aiProcess_FindDegenerates flag.
# <li>
# <li>Specify the #aiProcess_SortByPType flag. This moves line and
# point primitives to separate meshes.
# <li>
# <li>Set the <tt>AI_CONFIG_PP_SBP_REMOVE<tt> option to
# @code aiPrimitiveType_POINTS | aiPrimitiveType_LINES
# @endcode to cause SortByPType to reject point
# and line meshes from the scene.
# <li>
# <ul>
# @note Degenerate polygons are not necessarily evil and that's why
# they're not removed by default. There are several file formats which
# don't support lines or points, and some exporters bypass the
# format specification and write them as degenerate triangles instead.
#
aiProcess_FindDegenerates = 0x10000
## <hr>This step searches all meshes for invalid data, such as zeroed
# normal vectors or invalid UV coords and removesfixes them. This is
# intended to get rid of some common exporter errors.
#
# This is especially useful for normals. If they are invalid, and
# the step recognizes this, they will be removed and can later
# be recomputed, i.e. by the #aiProcess_GenSmoothNormals flag.<br>
# The step will also remove meshes that are infinitely small and reduce
# animation tracks consisting of hundreds if redundant keys to a single
# key. The <tt>AI_CONFIG_PP_FID_ANIM_ACCURACY<tt> config property decides
# the accuracy of the check for duplicate animation tracks.
#
aiProcess_FindInvalidData = 0x20000
## <hr>This step converts non-UV mappings (such as spherical or
# cylindrical mapping) to proper texture coordinate channels.
#
# Most applications will support UV mapping only, so you will
# probably want to specify this step in every case. Note that Assimp is not
# always able to match the original mapping implementation of the
# 3D app which produced a model perfectly. It's always better to let the
# modelling app compute the UV channels - 3ds max, Maya, Blender,
# LightWave, and Modo do this for example.
#
# @note If this step is not requested, you'll need to process the
# <tt>#AI_MATKEY_MAPPING<tt> material property in order to display all assets
# properly.
#
aiProcess_GenUVCoords = 0x40000
## <hr>This step applies per-texture UV transformations and bakes
# them into stand-alone vtexture coordinate channels.
#
# UV transformations are specified per-texture - see the
# <tt>#AI_MATKEY_UVTRANSFORM<tt> material key for more information.
# This step processes all textures with
# transformed input UV coordinates and generates a new (pre-transformed) UV channel
# which replaces the old channel. Most applications won't support UV
# transformations, so you will probably want to specify this step.
#
# @note UV transformations are usually implemented in real-time apps by
# transforming texture coordinates at vertex shader stage with a 3x3
# (homogenous) transformation matrix.
#
aiProcess_TransformUVCoords = 0x80000
## <hr>This step searches for duplicate meshes and replaces them
# with references to the first mesh.
#
# This step takes a while, so don't use it if speed is a concern.
# Its main purpose is to workaround the fact that many export
# file formats don't support instanced meshes, so exporters need to
# duplicate meshes. This step removes the duplicates again. Please
# note that Assimp does not currently support per-node material
# assignment to meshes, which means that identical meshes with
# different materials are currently #not# joined, although this is
# planned for future versions.
#
aiProcess_FindInstances = 0x100000
## <hr>A postprocessing step to reduce the number of meshes.
#
# This will, in fact, reduce the number of draw calls.
#
# This is a very effective optimization and is recommended to be used
# together with #aiProcess_OptimizeGraph, if possible. The flag is fully
# compatible with both #aiProcess_SplitLargeMeshes and #aiProcess_SortByPType.
#
aiProcess_OptimizeMeshes = 0x200000
## <hr>A postprocessing step to optimize the scene hierarchy.
#
# Nodes without animations, bones, lights or cameras assigned are
# collapsed and joined.
#
# Node names can be lost during this step. If you use special 'tag nodes'
# to pass additional information through your content pipeline, use the
# <tt>#AI_CONFIG_PP_OG_EXCLUDE_LIST<tt> setting to specify a list of node
# names you want to be kept. Nodes matching one of the names in this list won't
# be touched or modified.
#
# Use this flag with caution. Most simple files will be collapsed to a
# single node, so complex hierarchies are usually completely lost. This is not
# useful for editor environments, but probably a very effective
# optimization if you just want to get the model data, convert it to your
# own format, and render it as fast as possible.
#
# This flag is designed to be used with #aiProcess_OptimizeMeshes for best
# results.
#
# @note 'Crappy' scenes with thousands of extremely small meshes packed
# in deeply nested nodes exist for almost all file formats.
# #aiProcess_OptimizeMeshes in combination with #aiProcess_OptimizeGraph
# usually fixes them all and makes them renderable.
