10  <h1>Command Line Converter</h1>
11
12  <p> NW4C_CreativeStudioConsole.exe  is a command line tool for performing actions such as binary conversion and re-exporting data related to the NW4C graphics library.
13  </p>
14
15  <p>Atlhtough this tool usually functions as a binary converter used to export binary from intermediate files, it can also execute script files when the -s option is specified. For details on script execution, see <a href="../../../CreativeStudio/html/appendix/command_line/index.html">CreativeStudio documentation</a>.</p>
16<h2>Command-Line Options</h2>
17<p>
18The command line version of CreativeStudio executes commands in the following format. (The order options are specified does not matter&gt;)
19</p>
20<p class="info">
21NW4C_CreativeStudioConsole.exe --output=&lt;output_file_name&gt; input_file_name_1 [input_file_name_2 ...]
22<p>
23The following options can be specified as command line parameters.

51        <div>
52        This option automatically adds default shader binary resources to binaries to be output. Although it is on by default, a warning is displayed if the default setting is used without this option being specified.
53        <div><br/>
54        <div>
55        We highly recommend that final results be output with this option off and that shader resources use external references, because multiple default shaders are used as different shaders when outputting binary with this option set to on and this can have a large adverse affect on both memory size and performance.
