If you are submitting 3D models to NSUWorks, please follow these instructions.
- Mesh your scan on High detail, simplification ratio 100.
- Save a copy of this scan as a .obj. Add _Raw to the file name (e.g. "fishskull_Raw")
- Reopen your project file.
- Mesh your scan on Medium detail. We suggest setting the simplification ratio to 50 but this may differ per scan.
- Save a copy of this scan as a .obj. Add _50 to the file name (e.g. "fishskull_50")
- Find your Medium detail scan. Right click the file and select "7-Zip" > "Add to archive..."

- Set "Compression Method" to LZMA2, "Compression Level" to Maximum, and click "OK" to create a "_50.7z" archive.

- 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.
- 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).
- Click the "Upload" button on the upper-right of the window.
