3D Modeling Workflow

Last updated on January 15, 2025

This workflow ensures the creation of high-quality and optimized 3D models while improving administration and traceability for every employee of the company.

Tools and Softwares

Tools and Softwares

Tools and Softwares

Google Drive
  • Platform for uploading finalized models and texture files.

  • Each model requires a dedicated folder containing the model and all related files.

  • Folder names must always match the corresponding ClickUp card name.

  • Proper organization of folders simplifies model retrieval and updates.

ClickUp
  • The primary project management tool.

  • Modelers receive tasks containing all relevant information, including product links, reference images, and other specifications.

  • Tasks are categorized by priority and "level" (level 1, level 2, level 3).

    Statuses:

  • TO DO: New models to be created with all necessary information. Models are primarily identified by product number; if unavailable, the product name is used.

  • In Progress: Indicates active work on a model or models.

  • Review: Completed models awaiting quality assurance (QA).

  • Correction: Models needing corrections based on QA feedback. These are prioritized.

  • Completed: Models with no errors, ready for publication. This status is set by the Holostep.io team.

Google Docs
  • Used for quality assurance (QA).

  • Modelers and QA team members document observations, corrections, and comments for each model.

  • Each document pertains to one model, ensuring traceability.

  • QA documents are created in the model’s corresponding Google Drive folder.

Google Chat
  • The primary communication tool for the team.

  • Modelers and QA team members discuss questions, issues, and solutions quickly.

Holostep Admin Dashboard
  • Used to test models in the Holostep viewer system.

  • Enables AR/3D visualization for real-time compatibility, appearance, and color accuracy checks.

  • Models are tested for compliance with quality standards, such as proper scaling, texture alignment, and visual appearance.

Workflow Steps

Workflow Steps

Workflow Steps

  1. Task Assignment
  • Modelers receive a ClickUp card with all relevant task details.

  • Priority helps modelers focus on the most urgent projects first.

  • The "level" categorization defines task complexity and associated compensation.

  1. 3D Model Creation
  • 3D Models are created using mainly Blender based on provided details and reference images.

  • Any questions are resolved promptly via Google Chat.

  • Quality standards outlined in documentation must be adhered to.

  • Add measurement features to the model as follows:

    1. Import the provided Blender file: measurement.

    2. Adjust dimensions in edit mode to match the model.

    3. Input dimensions in centimeters.

    4. Merge all elements into a single mesh.

    5. Name the mesh: dimension_cm.

  1. Texture Creation
  • Textures are created using Substance Painter.

  • Texture resolution must always be 4K (compression handled by our software).

  • Textures must meet quality standards and resemble the actual product.

  1. Model Export
  • Ensure all measurement features are correctly added.

  • Verify the model as per the 3D Modeling Guidelines documentation and export it.

    • All objects are merged into a single object.

    • All objects are merged into a single object.

    • All transformations are applied.

    • Normals are facing the right (outside) direction.

    • Only one material is assigned to the model unless otherwise required, such as for transparent textures.

    • The final file is in GLB format.

    • The origin of the product is at the centre of gravity of the product.

  1. Testing in app.holostep.io
  • Upload the model to the Holostep Admin Dashboard (app.holostep.io).

  • Verify proper display of the model and textures.

  • Compare texture colors with the original product and platform display.

    • If colors are incorrect:

      • Adjust HDRI settings.

      • Revisit Step 3 (Texture Creation) and resolve issues.

  1. File Upload
  • Create a project-specific Google Drive folder. The name of the folder always needs to match the title of the specific ClickUp card.

  • Upload the model and texture files into their correctly named folder.

  • Ensure proper naming conventions (files must match the ClickUp card name).

  1. QA and Corrections
  • QA team reviews the model and provides feedback.

  • Modelers implement requested corrections, retest the model, and re-upload files.

  • If no errors remain, the project is marked complete.

Final Deliverables

Final Deliverables

Final Deliverables

  1. Model File
  • Accepted formats: .glb, .fbx, or other project-specific formats.

  • File must include the complete model with correct dimensions.

  1. Texture Files
  • Accepted format: .png. - 4K

  • Texture files must be properly named (e.g., diffuse, normal, roughness).
