Creating Zipper Top Stopper

Zipper Structure

Top Stopper

※ Please check the requirements and recommendations for the top stopper below.

[Required]

• The Top Stopper(zipper) file format must be *ZSP or *ZST.
• Only files in OBJ format are supported for registration as Top Stoppers and a total of two OBJ files are required.
• The OBJ should only contain the Stopper Mesh.
• When registering the zipper file, it will be all created in size #3 (100%). Please create the stopper 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.

• 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.)
• 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.

• From the Front View, the Top Stopper should be placed on the (-) Y-axis area.

• From the Top View, the origin of the X-axis is where zipper teeth are closed. Therefore, the OBJ of each Top Stopper should be created slightly to stick out from the origin of the X-axis.
