Optional +features require extra tools inside the environment that Blender is actually +running. + +This distinction matters: installing a Python package in your terminal Python +does not necessarily install it into Blender's Python. + +## LZ4 Geometry Compression + +`Compress Geometry` compresses only the `.untold` vertex and index chunks. It +does not compress files in the `Textures/` folder. + +It requires the `lz4` Python package in Blender's Python. + +Verify inside Blender's Python console: + +```python +import lz4.block +print("lz4 works") +``` + +Install into Blender's Python: + +```python +import sys, subprocess +subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "ensurepip"]) +subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "lz4"]) +``` + +Restart Blender after installing. + +## Texture Baking To .utex + +`Bake Textures To .utex` converts staged PNG/JPEG/TGA textures to the engine's +native `.utex` texture container and patches the `.untold` file to reference the +`.utex` files. + +This option requires: + +- `Pillow` in Blender's Python. +- `astcenc`, the ARM ASTC encoder binary. + +### Pillow + +Verify inside Blender's Python console: + +```python +from PIL import Image +print("Pillow works") +``` + +Install into Blender's Python: + +```python +import sys, subprocess +subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "ensurepip"]) +subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "Pillow"]) +``` + +Restart Blender after installing. + +### astcenc + +The texture baker searches for `astcenc` in this order: + +1.

If `brew install astc-encoder` reports that no +formula exists, use the downloaded binary and `ASTCENC_BIN`. + +## Texture Quality + +The `Texture Quality` setting maps to `astcenc` quality presets: + +- `fastest`: fastest encode, lowest search quality. +- `fast`: fast encode. +- `medium`: balanced. +- `thorough`: slower, better quality.
