This reduces visual fidelity, but increases performance. Decimation is the process of recomputing the surface polygons of the model to create a similar shape with fewer polygons.

To reach application-specific performance goals, you might need to 'decimate' the model. If it doesn't meet the target resolution, continue to the next section to decimate the model. If this number meets the performance target resolution, you can skip the decimation step and go directly to Unwrap the model later in this tutorial. Review the Tris count (number of polygons) at the bottom right of the screen. If the 3D model appears gray, select the Look Dev shading option to show the colors.Ĭ. If the 3D model is extremely large or small, or hard to see, or is possibly off-screen as shown in the following graphic, you can use the mouse wheel to zoom the camera in or out until the model is visible. When you select Import OBJ, you'll see the 3D model with the imported materials. This imports the 3D model as one item, and searches in the subfolder for any materials.

Select Import OBJ on the right side of the screen. Clear the Object and Group check boxes, and select the Image Search check box.ī. Select File > Import > Wavefront (.obj) to import the OBJ file.Ī. Right-click the cube, and then select Delete to delete it. When you open the app, a new scene is automatically created.

Preparing a 3D model for mixed reality with Blender includes the following steps: Overall steps for preparing a 3D model with Blender If Blender is the software that you decide to use to prepare your 3D models, review Blender's website and download the most current stable version for Windows. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline: modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, and video editing and game creation.
