Is there a reasonably easy way to take these FBX model files and strip away, in batch, arbitrary stuff? Creators, timestamps, nodes of the wrong type like cameras and lights, and paths for textures?

For Loops

These are commands to do a batch process in a folder in Linux or Windows with a utility that doesn't allow you to glob. File globbing is when you use an asterisk as a wildcard to specify some kind of naming convention. For instance, ImageMagick allows you to glob when you use magick mogrify -path ppm -format ppm *.webp (that is: converting a bunch of Google's WebP into Portable PixMap into a subdirectory called ppm) or, in another example, oxipng allows you glob when you type oxipng -o 1 --strip all *.png (that is: removing EXIF info and colorspace and other metadata from a folder of PNG as fast as possible).

These are the most simple commands so you can understand what works and modify it according to the tool's parameters. For me the most important thing is knowing how to grab the file and then knowing how to copy its name into the output.

I'll use cjxl (or cjxl.exe on windows) from Libjxl as an example.

Linux

for i in *.jpg ; do cjxl $i ${i%.*}.jxl ; done

Windows

for %f in (*.jpg) do cjxl %f %~nf.jxl

alternatively,

forfiles /m *.jpg /c "cmd /c cjxl @file @fname.jxl"

When you do these commands you will quickly find out that you need quotation marks! So the linux command example is actually for i in *.jpg ; do cjxl "$i" "${i%.*}.jxl" ; done and for %f in (*.jpg) do cjxl "%f" "%~nf.jxl" The best workaround is to not use spaces in your filenames and instead use hyphens or underscores. I'm not going to include any more versions with quotation marks because rules vary depending on the tool. It would take a lot of testing.

I will repeat these examples with c44 (or c44.exe on Windows) into a subfolder called iw44 in high quality (such quality explained in the man page), which is a good example for designating output location in the filename as well as an example for using flags or parameters. The cjxl example didn't have an output subfolder designated and it didn't have any parameters specified. Usually you are modifying these for loops to have special parameters.

Linux

for i in *.ppm ; do c44 -slice 72+11+10+10 $i iw44/${i%.*}.djvu ; done

Windows

for %f in (*.ppm) do c44 -slice 72+11+10+10 %f iw44/%~nf.djvu

alternatively,

forfiles /m *.ppm /c "cmd /c c44 -slice 72+11+10+10 @file iw44/@fname.djvu"

I was using JPEG for an input format for the c44 example, but on Windows c44.exe could not read the jpeg with error message *** **Unrecognized DjVu Message: ** Message name: ?GPixmap.unk_PPM *** (GPixmap.cpp:502) *** 'void DJVU::GPixmap::init(DJVU::BtyeStream&)'. I am not sure why that happened. But PPM is better as an in-between format anyway, since it is lossless and you can crop and save it in GIMP or Nomacs. When you are done with the PPM you can delete with rm *.ppm or, on Windows, del *.ppm. You can create the PPM to begin with by magick mogrify -format ppm *.jpg

yay for globbing.

Misc notes: the cjxl example was losslessly converting legacy jpeg data into the more modern format jxl, and the c44 example was lossily converting uncompressed ppms into a bunch of single-page DjVu documents. Cjxl has two modes to lossily transform (modular or VarDct) that you can access by checking the documentation (it's a lot to explain but I can explain it, type cjxl -j 0 -d 1 input.jpg output.jxl for VarDCT ooooor cjxl -j 0 input.jpg output.jxl for modular lossless...modular lossless is default in this case.) and the output of c44 can be globbed into a bundle using djvm, a tool in DjVu Libre that DOES support globbing. Ah, and now I realize c44 this whole time can glob. Oh but only on the Linux binary? It won't work on Windows; it is giving me an error when I ask c44 or cpaldjvu to glob with cpaldjvu *.ppm but when i write for %f in (*.ppm) do cpaldjvu -colors 5 %f %~nf_fivecolors.djvu that works. there are reasons to want to write for loop commands with c44 like specifying corresponding pbm with the flag -mask. Lots of fun stuff to write about. Be careful with these commands as they always overwrite without asking your permission. Such tools are built for efficiency and are not programmed to keep their users from destroying their own data. I love destroying things. Oh and ImageMagick on Ubuntu uses the old-fashioned commands. So you say mogrify instead of magick mogrify and instead of magick you say convert.

he's still figuring that kid out

ok so i wanna talk bout how Echo's reaction to grief is to run away. Like, he ran away from the 501st to the bad batch once he learned that Fives died and now he's run away from the bad batch to Rex/the rebellion since Tech "died"

[laughhardrunfastbekindsblog]

We talk a lot about how traumatized Crosshair is, how much he has been through, what he's had to overcome, and how much our man needs ALL the TLC and hugs and comfort and therapy (and boy oh boy he does!)...

But Hunter strikes me as the kind of person who is equally traumatized and scarred for life (just in different ways) but keeps it buried deep because he's supposed to be the leader and he WILL stay strong, he is fully aware Wrecker spent months barely holding him back from careening off the edge of the cliff and so he's going to work even harder to hold himself together now because Wrecker shouldn't have borne that responsibility, he's going to be there to hug Omega when she sobs from the nightmares and comfort Crosshair when he wakes up in a cold sweat clutching at the hand that's no longer there and convince Wrecker to take a break when he starts to wheeze while walking up the path to the Archium or gets that far-off look in his eyes as he stares at the mangled breastplate hanging up in his room...

He's going to do all this, and he's going to stay acutely aware of all their struggles and will help them through all of it, and he might quietly admit to having a bad dream when Omega talks about it, but he's never, ever, EVER going to tell anyone that he quietly goes to his room to hide his panic attacks and how hard it is to let Omega out of his sight and how difficult it is for him to convince his brothers to go out and try some new hobbies because he is so afraid they're going to get hurt but he can't tell them that and how his throat still feels like it's closing up every time he looks at his siblings and notices the one who isn't there and never will be again...

And the thing is, Omega and Wrecker and Crosshair know how much Hunter is struggling, but they don't know exactly how to help him because he keeps saying he's fine, and he's going to keep saying it because he's the older brother and he's supposed to take care of them and he failed at it so many times and he's NOT going to fail now...

But they keep at it, Omega insists that they all have a "camp out" in the living room all together at least once a week (Hunter doesn't have nightmares then) and Wrecker makes Hunter come with him to try a bunch of new hobbies until Hunter's discovered six new interests and Crosshair who has finally forced himself to go to the memorial at the Archium now somehow manages to drag Hunter along with him every few days and they sit together and remember their brother (until said brother finally comes home, of course)...

And by the time Rex contacts Hunter to let him know the vault kids' families have been found and asks for help getting them all relocated to safety, Hunter watches his family gear up to go, and he realizes... not only are they okay, but he's okay, too.

Another way TBB S3 was disappointing to me: Crosshair's redemption arc goes into how loyalty is one of his big motivators, yet Tech's loyalty to him when he insisted they go after Crosshair and subsequently was lost on that same mission is NOT ONCE BROUGHT UP.

The number of ways the emotional impact of Tech's death is just flat out ignored is really grating to me and it's why I struggle to enjoy the season at all. Not even just his absence--though ofc that sucks too--but that his absence is only felt as a series of missing skills and in random asides. Where's Crosshair feeling especially raw over the fact that the moment Tech knew Cross was still loyal to them he was ready to come and fetch him, and died trying?

Never not going to be bitter about all the emotional beats which were thoroughly and completely ignored.
