Welcome to the Glossi documentation on importing models from Substance 3D Painter. This guide will walk you through the process of preparing, exporting, and uploading your 3D models to Glossi, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.

📤 Preparing Your 3D Model 📤

Before exporting your model from Substance 3D Painter, ensure that all final details and textures are applied. Verify that your model is ready for visualization by reviewing its geometry and materials.

✂️ Reducing File Size (If Necessary) ✂️

Glossi has file size limitations to ensure optimal performance. If your model exceeds the maximum allowed size, follow these steps to reduce it:

• Lowering Texture Resolution

  • Access the Texture Set List: Locate the texture set list next to each of your texture sets within Substance 3D Painter.

  • Adjust Resolution: Click on the resolution setting for each texture set and choose a lower resolution from the dropdown menu.

  • Verify Changes: Ensure that reducing the resolution does not noticeably affect the quality in the viewport. If satisfied, proceed to the next step.

• Removing Unnecessary Texture Channels

  • Review Material Channels: Examine your texture sets for any material channels that are not essential, such as emissive, opacity (OPAC) capacity, or height channels.

  • Eliminate Unused Channels: Remove any unnecessary channels to decrease the overall file size, as Substance is creating textures for these during export, adding to the total weight.
