A conditioner takes a COLLADA document and performs some kind of operation on it in preparation for its use for a specific purpose or with a specific application.

• COLLADA Refinery is a GUI-based application for creating content pipelines for 3D assets using modular components called conditioners. A pipeline consists of conditioners that pass their resulting documents to the next conditioner.

List of COLLADA conditioners

Geometric processing

lines2linestrips	Changes all lines into linestrips.
linestrips2lines	Changes all linestrips to lines.
Optimizer	Rearranges the order of triangles to maximize the cache hit rate for vertices indexes. It works for triangles only.
Triangles2lines	Changes all triangles to lines. Duplicate lines might be created.
Trifanner	Changes all triangles to trifans.
Tristripper	Changes all triangles to tristrips.
Deindexer	Rearranges vertices indexes so that each Vertices will reference the corresponding Position, Normal, Texcoord with the same index number. The size of source for position, normal, and texcoord might increase.
Detrifanner	Changes all trifans to triangles.
Detristripper	Changes all tristrips to triangles.
Polygons2lines	Changes all polygons to lines. Duplicate lines might be created.
Polygons2polylists	Changes all polygons to polylists.
Polygons2triangles	Changes all polygons to triangles.
Polylists2lines	Changes all polylists to lines. Duplicate lines might be created.
Polylists2polygons	Changes all polylists to polygons.
Polylists2triangles	Changes all polylists to triangles.

Miscellaneous

Axisconverter	Converts documents between Y_UP, X_UP, Z_UP.
Packager	Collects all dae, image, and other resource files and compresses them into a zip file.
bindmateralfixer	Some exporters don't export <bind_material> and link mesh materials to id directly. This conditioner adds the missing <bind_material> and its child nodes.
coherencytest	Checks whether a COLLADA document is properly composed or coherent.
copyrighter	Adds or overwrites the copyright text from a text file.
daestripper	Removes all elements of a specific tag from a document. (For example, remove all <extra>.)
filename	Searches for all resource file references and adds string prefix.
imageconverter	Searches for all the images that a document uses and converts them to your desired supported image format. It uses Dev iL image library for image conversion. You must provide the file extension of your desired image format.
kmzcleanup	Kmz files created by previous versions of sketchup are not coherent. This conditioner adds the missing elements, such as <bind_materials>, to fix the kmz file.

COLLADA Contest entries

CgToGLSL	Creates a profile_GLSL out of your existing profile_CG COLLADA effect. This includes shader source compilation using NVIDIAs Cg Compiler.
FxCleaner	Optimizes COLLADAFX data by merging redundant effects, or deleting unnecessary parameters.
VertexCacheOptimizer	Optimizes COLLADA geometry data by reordering the indices in the triangles section.
