## Useful for

- Optimize a glTF model with gltfpack to reduce size and speed up rendering
- Generate an index buffer and remap table for an unindexed mesh
- Simplify a high-poly mesh for an LOD system in a game engine

## Why it’s here

- 11 stars so far today, about 32 expected by the end of the day. The usual pace is 4 per day, so that's 7.9× as much.
- Over the last two days the pace is 12× that of the previous week and a half.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- GitHub Trending C++ today: #3, +74 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
