With GLTF-Transform you may count textures VRAM with this snippet:

```auto
        let totalVRAM = 0;

        doc.getRoot()
            .listTextures()
            .forEach((tex) => {
                const vram = ImageUtils.getVRAMByteLength(tex.getImage()!, tex.getMimeType());
                totalVRAM += vram!;
            });

```

I’m using the gltf cli, is there any other way to get the result using the cli or should i have to write code for it?

gltf transform cli gives the analytics, try that [https://gltf-transform.dev/](https://gltf-transform.dev/)

GLTF-Transform CLI gives the GPU size for each texture but doesn’t count the total sum.

```auto
 gltf-transform inspect somefile.glb --format=csv

```

You may grab csv and count the total from it.  
Or remake inspect.ts to get the desired info - [glTF-Transform/packages/functions/src/inspect.ts at a99ff403ba976a05374369556119d76ed555a329 · donmccurdy/glTF-Transform · GitHub](https://github.com/donmccurdy/glTF-Transform/blob/a99ff403ba976a05374369556119d76ed555a329/packages/functions/src/inspect.ts)  
Or write your own function just for this purpose, as here - [https://glb.babylonpress.org/](https://glb.babylonpress.org/)
