Guidelines for Wearable Creation: Store, Editor, or Both
- Do not download an avatar from 3Daily.ai and upload it as an outfit.
- The Male Base Model with Blend shapes is provided for your convenience.
- Try your assets by changing the Blendshapes in different sizes from 0 to 1.
Note:
- Ensure the Blendshapes’ names match those in the template base body.
- Exclude Blendshapes for assets sold exclusively in the Store; but follow the remaining steps.
Meshes & Materials: General Requirements
- An outfit asset can consist of a top, bottom, footwear, and the body.
- Each mesh should use only one material.
- Maximum triangle count: 20,000, distributed as needed.
You decide how to distribute Quads across meshes. We recommend using as few quads as feasible and putting details into the texture maps.

Blend Shapes (Shape Keys/Morph Targets):
- Understanding Blend Shapes:
- The Male Model comes with multiple Blend shapes and sizes ranging from 0 (minimum size or leanest) to 1 (maximum size or overweight).
- Crucial for Editor use only; verify your assets’ deformation with our Avatar.
- Note:
- Maintain identical Blendshape Names as the characters.
- Test asset deformation against Avatar Blendshapes.
Steps for Creating an Outfit:
Step 1: Download and Inspect the Template
- Download the template body.
- Familiarise yourself with template details.
- Ensure your design adheres to Outfit requirements.
Step 2: Create Your Outfit
- Fit clothing to the template body.
- Create UV layout for clothing meshes.
- Develop texture maps for assets.
- Do not alter the UV layout, shape, or blendshapes of the template body mesh.
- Name blendshapes identical to the template body; critical for proper asset fitting.
- Blendshape 0 is minimum, and 1 is maximum.
- Stay within the total Polycount (Quards) limit.
- Materials cannot be shared between meshes.
Step 3: Deformation Testing
- Add skin weights to clothing meshes for the provided skeleton.
- All vertices need skin weights assigned.
- Ensure assets move seamlessly with skeleton animation.
Step 4: Export
- Export as a GLB file for Editor and GLB, FBX, and OBJ for the store, along with renders, Marmoset viewer, and a preview image.
- Include:
- Unmodified skeleton (Armature) provided.
- Assets optimised to the body mesh.
- Outfit meshes with materials and skin weights for the skeleton.
- Maintain blendshape names identical to template body blendshapes.
- Exclude:
- Templet Body mesh (provided for reference only).
- Lights, cameras, animations.
Step 5: Upload
- Package as recommended based on where you intend to sell (Editor, Store, or Both).
Recommendations and Tips:
Modelling:
- Make every Quad count, contributing to silhouette or deformations.
- Details like buttons are better suited for texture maps.
- Bake details from mid-poly mesh into low-poly mesh.
- Avoid long and thin Quads causing shading artefacts.
- Avoid very small Quads or triangles with 0 areas to prevent validation errors.
