WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT 3D OBJECTS IN BRIDGE

 

WHAT FILE TYPES ARE SUPPORTED FOR 3D OBJECTS?
For 3D objects, the files compatible are glTF and GLB (works best) otherwise, .obj and fbx files work too. You can also upload your files as a zip.

WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE ZIP FILE?
If uploading your 3D object as a zip file make sure that all textures (if jpeg or png) are included otherwise your textures will not be seen

WHAT SIZE SHOULD MY 3D OBJECT BE?
The maximum file size for 3D objects is:

  • 3MB for holders of Pro subscription
  • 5MB for holders of Pro Plus or Business subscription

*For the best results export your object from Blender.

If working outside blender, you can import into blender and export from there to get the best results!

BEST WAYS TO EXPORT FROM BLENDER:

  1. Export as: gltf (works best) .obj, fbx files work too
  2. Format: binary – textures (all the textures and colours that are on the model are already there), Otherwise you need to .zip
  3. Make sure to select:
    1. Compression – always make it smaller
    2. Animation (if included) – select so it’s also exported with model

HOW TO KEEP UNDER 3MB (in Blender) –
Go to Modifiers -> decimate (this reduces the vertex/face count of the mesh (object)  and keeps the model smaller)
Textures – image texture (reduce the colour texture) -reduce in photo shop. Color found within blender also work.
