YOGA - Yummy Optimizer for Gorgeous Assets

YOGA is a command-line tool and a library that can:

• convert and optimize images from various format to JPEG, PNG and WEBP,
• convert and optimize 3D models from various formats to glTF and GLB.

Images are opened using Pillow and optimized using Guetzli and MozJPEG for JPEGs, Zopflipng for PNGs and libwebp for WEBPs.

3D Models are converted and optimized using assimp. If models contain or reference images, they are processed by YOGA's image optimizer.

EXAMPLE: Converting and optimizing an image from CLI:

yoga  image  input.png  output.png
yoga  image  --output-format=jpeg  --jpeg-quality=84  input.png  output.jpg
yoga  image  --help

EXAMPLE: Converting and optimizing a 3D model from CLI:

yoga  model  input.fbx  output.glb
yoga  model  --no-graph-optimization  --no-meshes-optimization  --image-output-format=jpeg  --image-jpeg-quality=84  input.fbx  output.glb
yoga  model  --help
