Oceanographic Campus Library 3D Scanner

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

1. Mesh your scan on High detail, simplification ratio 100.
    
2. Save a copy of this scan as a .obj. Add _Raw to the file name (e.g. "fishskull_Raw")
    
3. Reopen your project file.  
    
4. Mesh your scan on Medium detail.  We suggest setting the simplification ratio to 50 but this may differ per scan.
    
5. Save a copy of this scan as a .obj.  Add _50 to the file name (e.g. "fishskull_50")
    
6. Find your Medium detail scan.  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 Mesh your scan at a lower simplification ratio.  Repeat steps 5-8 until you get a file under 35 MB in size.
    
9. Create a profile on Sketchfab.  Please note: recommended browsers are Chrome and Firefox.  Do NOT use Internet Explorer with Sketchfab (you will get an error message when uploading).
    
10. Click the "Upload" button on the upper-right of the window.
    
     
11. Drag & Drop or Browse to upload your "_50.7z" archive to Sketchfab and press "Continue".
