Step 4:
- To upload assets, the image file must be a PNG. Its source file could be BLEND, C4D, or OBJ. Other optional file formats could be GLTF, PSD, and FBX.
- It is important to keep in consideration that while using the drag & drop functionality to submit 3D assets, contributors must select at least three 3Ds, which must consist of all file formats for a particular asset.
- While uploading a 3D, please make sure all the formats of one 3D asset have the same name (case-sensitive) so that we can group them.
- For tagging, we extract tags and titles from the jpg file metadata for a seamless upload process. Please refer to the image shared below, for understanding file formats requirements:
Step 5:
After you have dragged and dropped or uploaded your files, you will be able to see the screen below.
Here you can see four options on the right-top corner of your screen:
Save Draft: This allows you to save the draft you have created after uploading your assets.
Delete Draft: This allows you to delete any draft that you no longer wish to include.
Upload More: This allows you to add more assets to your pack.
Advanced Option: It allows you to apply the same details to all your assets at once.
To upload Mockups/Pack Preview, their format could be either PNG or JPG. You can add up to 8 previews.
Step 6:
You can even use the “Advanced Option” to give the same name, description, pricing, and tags to all your assets at once. You can also copy and paste tags onto individual assets.
Step 7:
Give a Name, Description, and tags to each of your assets.
Contributors are able to add up to 50 tags to each asset.
After doing the above-mentioned steps, please check if all the files contain the necessary elements or not. Make sure all of your assets have the same style and consistency.
Step 8:
There is a “Pack Preview” checkbox you need to select if you wish to see a preview of that asset. By default, we will use the first asset you upload as part of the preview.
We have the feature to display the same file from multiple angles too. Please refer to the highlighted portion in the picture below for guidance on how to upload multiple images:
Step 9:
You need to select a bundle to complete the uploading process. For a bundle, you can select a style or concept name as the bundle name. Once you create the bundle, you can add all the other same-style and concept 3Ds to it. https://help.iconscout.com/hc/en-gb/articles/11701578442521-Bundle-Guidelines Additionally, contributors need to add a Category and sub-category which consists of pre-defined options to choose from.
