AMAZ3D is organized in Projects that are a collection of optimizations created for each original object.
• Click the “Create Project” button
• Provide a valid Name for the project
• Select a 3d object to upload from your PC or drag&drop it in the highligthed square (valid formats: gtlf, glb, fbx, obj, stl, 3ds)
• The uploaded object will be the source for creating optimizations in your current project
For each project, it is possible to create an unlimited number of optimizations (This number will be limited by the total number of ADAPTA coins available in your profile)
Select a project. It is possible to view (and download) the original object though the web rendering window.
• Create an optimization by clicking the “New Optimization” button.
• Optimizations can be created either by selecting a “default optimization level” or by tweaking custom parameters for having full control on your result.
• Click “Confirm” and wait for your optimization to be processsed.
Default optimization levels provide a quick and simple way to create optimizations by choosing among three different profiles based on the model type: organic, smooth or hard surface. You choose the level of reduction from a pre-set percentage: low (50%), medium (75%) and high (90%).
If you want to go in ADVANCED mode, it is possible to tweak a lot of different parameters to help you to find a result which fits your needs.
Compare and Download
It is possible to compare the original object and the optimized one by selecting an optimization from the list.
Each result can be download by clicking on the “Download” button.
If an object is too heavy to be visualized on Browser Preview you will see a warning. Althought it is possible to use the Browser Preview even in this case we suggest to download and compare objects offline using your favourite DCC software.
It is possible to creare bulk optimizations in a single operation by using Presets. Presets define a group of optimization settings that will be performed on specific project subsequentially.
• Select a project
• Click the “Optimizations from Preset” button
• Use the window to select the preset which best suits your needs
You can create and customize your workflow within AMAZ3D by creating your LOD preset.
AMAZ3D provides some useful preset but it is possible to create yours and define each optimization setting on the base of your needs.
• From the main page, select “Preset Settings”
• Click the “Create A Preset” button
• Choose a name and a description
• Click the name of your new preset
• Click the “New LOD” button
• Select a default optimization level or tweak the parameters
• Repeat the last two actions for each LOD level you need
• Click the “Project” button and use your favourite preset
With the new improved UI It is possible to access new functionalities that permit to reset the camera position, play with the FOV as well as rotate objects along the X,Y and Z axis. And in case you have chosen wrong settings you can just press the reset button. Easy as that!
The optimization masking feature defines which areas of a mesh to preserve and which one to optimize.
Those areas can be specified using a Vertex Color Layer. You need to use your favorite DCC software (e.g. Blender) to perform vertex painting to use this feature. In the future, you will be able to paint directly within AMAZ3D.
• Absolute Black areas won’t be optimized
• Absolute White areas will be optimized using the defined reduction level
• Grayscale allows you to tune how optimization will be employed in the mesh.
BEWARE: AMAZ3D will use the first layer as a vertex color mask.
This feature can be enabled using the “use vertex mask” option under “ADVANCED -> OPTIONS”.
Normal Baking allows user to create normal maps automatically to transfer information from the original to the optimized object.
Normals baking is a good way to drastically reduce your object size and preserve the same details of the original one.
The workflow is quite simple and it can be performed in a few step on your browser.
First of all, upload your object and play with the parameters to obtain your desired optimizations.
Now it is time for baking: Select the optimization and click on “Normal Baking”. You can do that either from the “AMAZ3D result” download section or from the list of optimizations.
Define width, height and opacity of normals map to be produced. Add a name to the normal baking as you do for polygon reduction optimizations.
Wait a little bit until the baking process is completed.
Now you are ready to download your result. Normal maps can be download separately if your format doesn’t support texture embedding.
Currently, AMAZ3D supports natively OBJ, GLTF, GLB and FBX. Other file formats accepted in the cloud will be converted automatically in OBJ before and after optimizations.
Currently, it is not possible to delete the account on your own. To do so you will have to send us an email and we will proceed to delete your account. Please note that all data will be lost.
You can delete a project by clicking the “Delete project” button in project view. Please note that all data will be lost.
Some users are experiencing issues with old versions of Safari. If you are not able to access we suggest trying a different web browser like Chrome or Firefox.
Yes. This feature works with FBX, GLTF and GLB objects.
You can recover your account by selecting “Forgot your password?” in the login page.
You may try to enable “project normals” to obtain better normals in your results. This option is disabled by default and can be activated from “CUSTOM”. By enabling this option your result could get some artefacts.
OBJ, FBX and GLTF (GLTF Embedded, GLTF Not Embedded, GLB).
All objects (uploaded in a supported format) with at least one material and an UV map.
If your project has external assets you should check about how those are referenced in your files: please provide files which reference assets in the same path of the main file and avoid to use absolute paths.
Although external assets are supported in AMAZ3D cloud, we strongly recommend to use embedded format as FBX, GLTF or GLB, so that all assets are packed in a single file.
First of all verify if the following icon appear for your project:
Amaz3D analyses every project to define if it is eligible for normals baking.
If not, please verify if your object is uploaded in a supported format and there is at least a material with uv maps. If you have created a project before normals baking has been released, please re submit your project again.
