brickmake [-maxerror eps] [-splitangle degrees] [-radiusscale scale] [-maxdepth depth] [-progress 0|1|2] [-newer 0|1] pointcloudfiles brickmapfile
brickmake reads one or more files in Pixar's point cloud file format and generates a brick map file representing the same data. A brick map is a tiled MIP map representation of 3D data.
-maxerror specifies the amount of error that can be tolerated in the brick map. This is a trade-off between accuracy and file size. The default value is 0.002 (approximately half of 1/255).
-splitangle specifies the angle (in degrees) that should lead to a split of data values at the leaf node bricks. The default value is 45.
-radiusscale specifies a scaling factor applied to all point radii. For values higher than 1, the effect is that a blurrier, smaller brick map is created. The default value is 1. Using values lower than 1 is not recommended.
-maxdepth specifies an (integer) maximum depth of the brick map. This can be used to reduce the size of the brick map. The default value is 15.
-progress: if set to 1, a few progress lines will be written out during brickmap creation. If set to 2, more verbose information is given. The default is 0 (off).
-newer: If set to 1, only compute brick map if source file is newer than destination file. The default is 0 (off).
