The following points need to be checked before exporting the geometries and uploading to the ig.creator

The naming order of the geometries should be as follows:

• Alphanumeric
• Use camel case and start with capital letters, e.g. TestLeg1, Leg2, TestLegUpper3 etc.
• Be in English if possible
• The names should be used 1:1 like this also in the database because it allows the direct assignment.

• Standard.obj - OBJ representation of the standard resolution
• Standard.ctm - OpenCTM representation of the standard resolution
• Info.json - Created when exporting as CTM
• Normals_std.png - Normal mapping in the standard resolution
• Deformation.json - Deformation in JSON format
• Deformation.glb/gltf - Deformation

• Geometries should be assigned either to the sub-domain Basics - if they are of general use for a manufacturer or to a specific domain - if they are used only for this domain.

To upload a geometry manually into the IG.Creator, first of all, go to the Assets/Geometries page.

Click the New button on the right top corner to create an empty instance. Fill the mask with a Name and a Description UL. Leave the rest empty.

Click Update to confirm the creation.

After creating an empty instance, this needs to be filled.

Go to the Assets/File page. Make sure the left part of the table is showing Geometry as header. If not, change with the help of the drop down menu.

Select the created Geometry. The right side the table should be empty.

Click the New button to create a new data slot. Use the shown setup and confirm with Update.

Initially the created slot is empty. This is indicated by the file size -1. As soon the slot is filled, the file size changes to != -1.

To upload a geometry, Browse for it, make sure the file ending is matching the instantiaded above and Uploade it.

After uploading the geometry, it can be checked inside Assets/Geometries. A right click on the geometry opens a menu. From this menu, choose 3D Preview. Make sure pop ups for the IG.Creator are allowed and than a new window with the geometry will pop up.

• For uploading the data to creator you can use the IG.GFX.AssetLoader
• Simply execute the geometries.bat file to upload all the geometries to the creator.
