WCTC 2.2.0: Introduction to Content Preparation
This video provides practical insights into the content optimization process in WorkLink Create, emphasizing hands-on application from import to author-ready status. The module covers the following:
-
Introduction:
- Eighth module in the Virtual Work Link Training series.
- Focus on a practical example of content optimization in Scope AR's WorkLink Create.
-
Four Stages of Content Preparation:
- Optimizing for complexity
- Optimizing for detail
- Editing files for functionality
- Aesthetics
-
Workflow Overview:
- Demonstration in WorkLink Create from import to author-ready status.
- Asset Library as the home for 2D and 3D assets.
-
Importing Files:
- Two methods: Dragging from elsewhere or using the "Upload Files" button.
- Uploaded file example: Battery box in STEP format.
-
Initial Exploration:
- Reviewing the uploaded CAD file in the scene view.
- Navigating the CAD hierarchy to understand sub-assemblies and components.
-
Content Optimization:
- Referencing the project plan to determine optimization needs.
- Assessing whether parts need to be separate or merged based on project requirements.
-
Optimization Targets:
- Targeting less than a million polygons and fewer than a thousand parts.
- Checking the triangle count and parts count for each assembly in the STEP hierarchy.
-
Demonstration:
- Example with 12,555 triangles and 29 parts, indicating no strict need for optimization.
- Despite not requiring optimization, a demonstration of the process will be shown for educational purposes.
