Importing 3D models

yossiy · **Importing 3D models -** 08-16-2022, 08:18 AM

Hi,
I've tried to import several 3D models into Alice 3, from various sources. All of them failed to import.
Is there any guide as to how to "tweak" the models so they can import properly? A log file to see the errors?
I've attached an example - a model of an astronaut I downloaded directly from the 3D warehouse (already in dae format so no conversion was necessary). For some reason I was not able to upload it, so here a is a link to the file in my google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17ud_bY8uBO6ugXHHu_8uy7bX6JI79iji/view?usp=sharing

Also, is there a library of imported models I can use?
Thank you!
Yossi Yaron

See this link for the Alice guide on importing models into Alice 3:

http://www.alice.org/resources/how-t...dels-overview/

At the moment we do not have a library of other models to import.

Let us know if you have other questions...

All the best,
Don Slater

We are preparing a GitHub repo with some additional models that the community should be able to add to very soon.

Some collected knowledge is in ?ALICE 3 Art Development Pipeline Document?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...Sr7yeo2nE/edit

It is publicly sharable.

Are they using the latest Alice? We try to report all errors to users in the dialog.

I would like to see if I can do anything with the problem models, but the drive link sent comes back with ?Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist."

As for a library, we are going to make a small one public very soon.

One potential solution to address the import issues is to simplify the 3D model's structure and hierarchy, ensuring it has a clear root node and straightforward organization to enhance compatibility with Alice 3.

Thanks for the link, I want to read texturing guidelines and I am glad I found it in your given link.
