Supported Filetypes in LeiaViewer
LeiaViewer supports various 3D model file formats.
Supported File Types
LeiaViewer supports the following file types:
FBX
OBJ
STL
GLB
GLTF
File Recommendations
The file size limitations in LeiaViewer are impacted by the number of triangles, polygons and vertices of each model
If your model is not loading, it may be too large to open in LeiaViewer. in this case you should try to reduce the facecount to under 100k.
You can do this by going into Blender (a free app) and using the decimate tool.
You may also want to adjust texture size down to 4K or less in Photoshop
Recommend upper limit for facecounts: 100k
Recommend upper limit for file sizes: 50MB
Recommend upper limit for textures: 4K resolution or less
If there is problem loading a 3D model on your device:
Send us the model file
Describe the problem (is it a crash, is there an error modal, did the model fail to load?)
Is the center of rotation correct
Importing Models
To import models, tap the + button in the top left corner to open the file browser
The file browser will automatically surface all of the model files located on your device
For model types like FBX and OBJ, your textures will need to be siblings of the model file.
STL doesn't have textures, so its a single model format. Just load the model by clicking on it in the file browser
Uploading OBJ & OBJ instructions
OBJ and FBX are the same, but you need to make sure any textures that come with model are in same directory as the model itself
sometimes they come with a separate textures folder, you need to move all the textures into the top level directory that contains the OBJ model
once all the files are in the right place, just tap the OBJ model in LeiaViewer file browser
Animations
Animations are not in a separate file, they are a part of models themselves
Animations are usually included in GLB, GLTF, FBX model files already
They will be shown when you open the model in LeiaViewer file browser
