Purpose:

Smarter Approval is now in beta for supporting 3D web objects. This document details uploading 3D web objects and current functionality.

Note ShotFlow does not currently support 3D web objects in our Smarter Asset Automation script or Smarter Approval script.

Uploading 3D Objects

Smarter Approval supports GLB files in two different ways:

1. Uploaded as a single GLB file - the thumbnail will be autogenerated and the background will be dark grey
2. Uploaded as zip file containing the following files:
   1. the GLB file
   2. lighting.hdr (optional)
   3. background.hdr (optional)
   4. thumbnail.png (PNG or JPG - optional)

In ShotFlow workflows, we currently only support manual upload.

Supported Markup Features

Users can utilize the pencil markup and comment tools, but shapes and text are currently disabled. 

Users can also change the color of the pencil markup. Note that the markup points retain position within 3D space.

API Support

3D web objects can be uploaded via the Review Studio API with the POST: /reviews/{review_id}/files request. Recommended to utilize the "source" parameter with a value of "3d" to inform the Smarter Approval server the content type, especially when uploading a Zip file containing the 3D web object. For further details, please see the Review Studio API documention.
