Creating Zipper Slider

Zipper Structure

Slider

※ Please check the requirements and recommendations for the Slider below.

[Required]

• The slider(zipper) file format must be *ZSD or *ZSL.
• Only files in OBJ format are supported for registration as a Slider, and the OBJ should only contain the Slider Mesh.
• When registering the zipper file, it will be all created in size #3 (100%). Please create the slider file(OBJ) in size #3.
• The mesh’s normal direction must be facing outwards.
• Align the MESH position according to the purpose of each axis. (If the position of the axis is not aligned, OBJ might not be created in the right place when creating a zipper.)

• In the Description, the following product information must be provided.
  (1) Vertex Counts
  (2) UV MAP unwrapping status

[Recommended]

• If the mesh and the normal map share the same position and direction, it may lead to overlapping and flickering issues during rendering. Make sure to avoid overlapping the mesh.
• If two or more vertices are located in the same place, please weld them together.

• For the complex graphic pattern, please use the Normal map. (e.g. logo, pattern, etc.)

• It is recommended to use textures with a maximum size of 1024 pixels.

• The scanned OBJ is compatible, but the mesh should be re-meshed and editable.

• It is recommended to add an edge loop(s) to define the sharp edge.

• you can't apply multiple materials to a slider but can render various materials using textures. Therefore, it's essential to have UV unwrapping done in a way that textures can be created without overlapping.
