Automated excerpt
This extension exposes support for vertex and index compression; note that vertex data is compressed using an older, “v0” vertex format. However, because Zstandard would need to decompress less data, generally the resulting decoding would still be faster than just using Zstandard alone3. Out of that, vertex data is ~41. 9 GB (compressed from ~77. 6), triangle indices take ~9. 8 GB, and the rest is material indices (~1. 15 GB) and other per-cluster and per-group data.
