3Daily.ai Editor: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating and Uploading

Step-by-Step Guide: Uploading Assets on 3DAiLY.ai Editor for Real-Time AI Character Customization

Introduction

Welcome to the detailed guide for creating and uploading custom outfits to 3DAiLY.ai Editor. This documentation is designed to walk you through the process, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility with our Editor.

Getting Started with 3DAiLY.ai Editor:

Prerequisites: 

  • Access to any 3D modeling software (e.g., Blender, Maya) and an understanding of basic 3D modeling concepts.
  • Additionally, make sure to download our Blender plugin for thorough wearable testing.LINK
    • Note: The Blender plugin is currently in beta stage
    • (3Daily’s editor asset testing tool coming soon)
  • 3Daily.ai seller account, If you haven’t registered yet, you can sign up as a seller by following this link. LINK

Step 1: Download and Inspect the Template Avatar

  • Download the template Avatar provided in the LINK.
  • Familiarize yourself with its features and blendshapes.

Note: Do not download the body from 3Daily.ai editor.

Step 2: Preparation of 3D Wearables

  • Modeling Guidelines:
    • Create two versions of your wearables: Mid Poly and Low Poly.
      • Low-Poly:
        • Wearables Polygon Budget: 100 – 10,000 Quads.
      • Mid-Poly:
        • Wearables Polygon Budget: 1,000 – 20,000 Quads.
    • File Type: Only .glb files are accepted for upload.
    • File Size: Maximum 40 MB.
      • Note: Avoid using custom glTF-Extensions such as Draco mesh compression, etc.
  • Texture Guidelines:
    • Texture file format: JPG for wearables, and PNG for Hairs.
    • Required maps: BaseColor, Normal, Metallic, Roughness.
    • Optional maps: Occlusion, Emissive.
    • Texture resolution: 4K for Mid Poly, 2K for Low poly.
    • Maximum individual texture file size: 5 MB.
    • Double-sided materials: Optional.
    • Vertex colors: Optional.
  • BlendShapes:
    • Ensure that the names of your wearable’s blendshapes precisely match those of the template Avatar. 
    • The blendshape ranges from 0 for minimum to 1 for maximum.
  • Position:
    • Align the position of your wearable exactly with that of the template body. 
    • For instance, if you’re designing a hat, it should be positioned to match the head of the template Avatar.
  • Weight Painting:
    • Add skin weights to clothing meshes for proper movement.

Step 3: Ways to Test and Troubleshoot

  • Use our Blender plugin to test wearables for deformation and tearing. (LINK to our blender Plugin)
    • (3Daily’s editor asset testing tool coming soon)
  • Verify seamless function with our template Avatar and animations.

Step 4: Exporting

  • Export your wearables as GLB files.
  • Include:
    • Assets optimised to the body mesh.
    • wearable’s meshes with materials and skin weights.
    • Maintain blendshape names identical to template Avatar blendshapes.
  • Exclude:
    • Template Avatar (provided for your reference only).
    • Lights, cameras, animations. 

Step 5: Rendering Images

  • Render the images using your preferred software in the highest quality, ensuring they are in 512×512 pixels with a 1:1 aspect ratio. 
  • Ensure the maximum image size is 200kb.
  • Position the wearable facing forward and slightly to the right, as shown in the provided sample image. [LINK]

Step 6: Packaging the Files

  • Package Contents: 
  • Mid Poly Variation:
    • 3D model file: GLB format.
    • Texture: Include all textures created.
    • Preview: One 512×512 pixel image for the thumbnail with a transparent background in PNG format.
      • Example: LINK to Preview image.
  • Low Poly Variation:
    • 3D model file: GLB format.
    • Texture: Include all textures created.
    • Preview: One 512×512 pixel image for the thumbnail with a transparent background in PNG format.
      • Example: LINK to Preview image.
  • Naming the File:
    • Follow the Naming Convention: Use the prescribed naming convention for your files, incorporating gender, body part, asset category, asset name, and texture color.
      • <Gender>_<BodyPart>_<AssetCategory>_<AssetName>_<TextureColor>
      • Example: M_Head_Hat_FedoraHat_Black (A detailed Packaging structure is given below)
