ASSETS

Choose what will be shown on the AR Experience either from our Assets Library or by uploading your own content by clicking on “Assets” on the left top corner of Sub-Header Menu. The pop-up shows you a plethora of assets that you can choose from or upload your content in the allocated slot on the right side of the pop-up. If your assets are not in the supported format, use our Assets Converter (right-bottom of the pop-up) to optimize your assets to PlugXR Supported Format.

3D MODELS

  • 3D models library

    PlugXR Assets Library contains 3D Models that are native to PlugXR as well as 3D models from Google Poly and SketchFab.

  • Upload model

    3D Models uploaded by the user will be shown under the User tab in 3D Assets. 3D Models uploaded should be in .glb format (use Converters) and should not exceed 10MB for the best AR experience.

  • Advanced 3D Settings

    This option is available in the Asset Modifier Section when a 3D Model is uploaded upon the grid.

    • Shaders Type

      The platform currently has the standard shader that can be used for any 3D model

    • Properties
      • Albedo

        Albedo adjusts the overall brightness of a 3D Model by altering a sum of diffuse, reflective, refractive and translucent components. The colored box will help you choose from a wide range of colors.

        • You could upload the Albedo texture file for that particular Model.
        • or
        • Upload a link (For Instance: https://www.plugxr.com/filename.png) along with the extension

        in the slide-down option on the extreme right-side of albedo option.

      • Emission

        The Emission properties control the color and intensity of light that the surface of a Material emits. Checking the box beside Emission will enable the advanced emission options. The colored box will help you choose from a wide range of colors.

        • or
        • Upload a link (For Instance: https://www.plugxr.com/filename.png) along with the extension

        in the slide-down option on the extreme right-side of bump map option.

      • Metalness

        Metalness can be used to define the bare metal texture of your 3D Model (or part of it). You can adjust the Metalness of the Model by either adjusting the slide-bar or entering particular values in the box beside it.

        • You could upload the Metalness texture file for that particular Model.
        • or
        • Upload a link (For Instance: https://www.plugxr.com/filename.png) along with the extension

        in the slide-down option on the extreme right-side of albedo option.

      • Smoothness

        Smoothness helps you add a variety of smoothness levels across the surface of the 3D Model. You can adjust the Smoothness of the Model by either adjusting the slide-bar or entering particular values in the box beside it.

        • You could upload the Smoothness texture file for that particular Model.
        • or
        • Upload a link (For Instance: https://www.plugxr.com/filename.png) along with the extension

        in the slide-down option on the extreme right-side of Smoothness option.

      • Height Map

        Height Map uses a certain texture to cause an effect where the actual geometric position of points over the textured surface is displaced, resulting in height and depth changes in the 3D Model.

        • You could upload the Height Map texture file for that particular Model.
        • or
        • Upload a link (For Instance: https://www.plugxr.com/filename.png) along with the extension

        in the slide-down option on the extreme right-side of Height Map option.

      • Occlusion

        Occlusion is a shadowing technique used to make 3D objects look more realistic by simulating the soft shadows that should naturally occur when lighting is cast out onto the scene.

        • You could upload the Albedo texture file for that particular Model.
        • or
        • Upload a link (For Instance: https://www.plugxr.com/filename.png) along with the extension

        in the slide-down option on the extreme right-side of Occlusion option.

  • Transparency

    Transparency helps in altering the opacity of the 3D Model from transparent to opaque. Transparency of the Model can be enabled by clicking on the box beside it.

  • Show on Tracking

    When this option is kept unchecked then the object won’t be visible in the grid. By default this option is kept checked.

  • Save and Submit

    Save the changes that have been applied to the 3D Model.

  • Edit/Replace Model

    Replace the selected 3D Model with another Model from the assets or by uploading your own Model.

  • 3D Converters

    3D Converters are available below in the same pop-up where you can upload 3D Models of your own and will help in converting your 3D Model into .glb format without any hassle.
