Available formats: .ZIP, .RAR, .MAX, .FBX, .OBJ, .3DS, .DAE
Limitations:
Size of a file shouldn’t exceed 15 Mb
Size of a model shouldn’t exceed 10x10x10 meters
The number of polygons shouldn’t exceed 20000 per model, low-poly models are recommended (2000-5000 polygons per model)
2. Preparing a Model
The model should only contain the structure of the product itself, and should not contain irrelevant content like another products, rooms, lighting and other
Don’t create invisible structures inside the model.
The model should be created according to the true size of the object.
The model should not contain overlapping and fliped polygons. Check normals as well.
It’s recommended to group model elements in one group. Multi-element model is preferable.
Model has to be centered to zero coordinates.
Center pivot to object, align to world, and set zero coordinates. Usually the pivot should be set to the center of the object on the plane on which it is placed on floor, wall or ceiling respectively. You can correct pivot in the preview editor.
We currently support all the general max materials including multi-sub material. Vray material is recommended.
It is recommended to name material ID with a relevant names like wood, metal, solis, etc.
