fixQuads.py: blender script to fix Kenney's 3D objects for Three.js

# Fix Kenney's 3D objects (http://kenney.itch.io/kenney-donation) in Three.js
# Three.js' object loader barfs when object is not made of simple quads.

# This script uses Blender command-line to load each asset, converts to tris,
# then convert to quads (to remove some vertices), and re-saves (overwrites!)

# To run:
# > cd <path to assets>
# > blender -b -P fixQuads.py
