Requirements for models
The following points should be taken into account when creating models for the 3D configurator.
Low poly
The object is created with few polygons (triangles, quads). A high number of polygons places a greater load on the GPU when rendering the models. The scene should not contain more than 50,000 polygons in total.
Normals point outwards
The normals of the faces must face outwards. If they are not, the face can only be seen from the outside with the side:both setting, which leads to a further draw call and is negative for the performance of the scene.
Textures

Normal map
A normal map should be created, as this gives the textureplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTexture

UV mapping
A UV mapping must be created. Within the mapping, the elements of the model are mapped proportionally according to their size. Here is an example of a house:

Smooth shading
The 'Smooth shading' property is on if curves are to be displayed.
Materials
Each colourable element must have its own material. Elements that always have the same appearance as another should use the same material. This reduces the draw calls, which has a positive effect on performance.
No materials are used for which the property Transmissive
property is set. This is the case with glass-like materials, for example. Transmissive leads to a doubling of all draw calls of the scene when rendering via THREE.js and therefore has a negative impact on performance.
When using two materials, make sure that the corresponding meshes are individual objects. Otherwise, no different materials can be assigned to the meshes in the vrdoro editor.
Names
The elements (meshes) and the materials have comprehensible English names. For a chair model, a mesh is called e.g. Armrest, Backrest and the materials e.g. Wood, Fabric. The names do not contain any special characters (_ or - is ok) or spaces.
Centring
The Origin must be in the centre (or centre/floor) of the object. We only use the bounding box centre. See Centring .
Alignment
The model is aligned with straight sides parallel to the axes. See also: Aligning Models . The front of the object must face forwards.
Size
Resizable models have a standard length of one metre. The other non-resizable axes are proportional in size and the size corresponds to that of the real object.
