Bottom Stopper

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

 

[Required]

  • The Bottom stopper(zipper) file format must be *ZSP or *ZST.
  • The Bottom(Open) Stopper is produced with two OBJs, while the Bottom(Closed) Stopper is produced with a single OBJ.
  • 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.

X-axis

Place the point where the zipper tape touches each stopper at the X-axis 0.

Y-axis

Top Stopper

Position the point of the top stopper that aligns with the endpoint of the zipper tape at the Y-axis 0.


Bottom Stopper

Position the point of the bottom stopper that aligns with the bottom of the slider at the Y-axis 0.

Z-axis

Place the slider's zipper tape faces at the Z-axis 0.
  • 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.

 

 

 

 

Open Bottom Stopper

  • From the Front View, the origin (0,0,0) is the bottom part where the slider can be all the way down. Therefore, place the stopper where it touches the slide at the origin.
