Supported 3D CAD file types

All platforms

1. FBX
2. OBJ
3. GLB (recommended format to use when importing metadata from data that went trough in a Pixyz Studio pipeline)
   Tip: when exporting glb in Pixyz, make sure the ExportGLTFApplyScale option is checked in your preferences. This avoids the 0.001 scale on the root typically seen with Pixyz glb exports.

The default import process for these types of assets uploaded on cloud is:

1. Tessellate medium with a max sag of 0.2mm, relevant if the input is NURBS data.
2. Do a triangle count of the resulting asset.
   1. 0 to 350 000, re-tessellate at max sag 0.1 mm
   2. 350 000 to 1 500 000, result is kept and sent for use in the Asset Library.
   3. over 1 500 000 triangles, re-tessellate at max sag 1 mm
      1. Do a new triangle count
         1. under 1 500 000, result is kept and sent for use in the Asset Library.
         2. 1 500 000 to 4 000 000, decimate to target 1 400 000 triangles
         3. 4 000 000 to 6 000 000, decimate to target 2 000 000 triangles
         4. over 6 000 000, decimate to target 3 000 000 triangles

Enterprise/On Premise

1.  We have an integration possibility with a 3rd party software to enable other file formats for on-premise deployments. Please contact support for more information.
2. For pvz conversion support (3D file conversion only), the 3rd party software must be run on a Windows based server.

Note:

1. Some CAD models must be uploaded as a zip file because they contain multiple parts and textures that must be uploaded as a 'package' rather than individually.
