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.
- You could upload the Emission 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 Emission option.
- Bump Map
Bump maps are grayscale images that allow you to fake detail in 3D objects without changing the actual 3D geometry in any way.
- You could upload the Bump 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 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.
