OC Library 3D Macro Scanner

If you are submitting 3D models to NSUWorks, please follow these instructions.
 

1. Change the name of your original saved final scan to "description_Raw" (e.g., sandpiperskull_Raw)
    
2. Reopen your project in FlexScan.  
    
3. Save a new final scan by selecting the same combined scans you used before, but under the "Finalize" settings, click the box next to "Decimate"; the scale should already be half way which will cut your scan data in half
4. Click "Ok" and export this new scan as a ".obj" file
    
5. Save this copy of your scan as "description_50" (e.g., sandpiperskull_50)
    
6. Find your Medium detail scan (the one labeled "description_50").  Right click the file and select "7-Zip" > "Add to archive..."
   
    
7. Set  "Compression Method" to LZMA2, "Compression Level" to Maximum, and click "OK" to create a "_50.7z" archive.
   
    
8. Check the size of the file.  If the file is over 35 MB in size, return to Step 3 and move the scale under "Decimate" lower.  Repeat steps 5-8 until you get a file under 35 MB in size.
    
9. Create a profile on Sketchfab.
    
10. Click the "Upload" button on the upper-right of the window.
