Add custom 3ds files and presets

[johncgaiserMember]

Very interested in the preset creation using custom 3ds files workflow.

Project coming up!

Thanks 🙂

Yes all data can be update in folder ! You are the first one who explore that, eager to see it !

I dropped my 3ds files in data/3d/ but do not know how to create a preset to import my 3ds files. Or are you saying to overwrite default 3ds files?

[johncgaiserMember]

Yep… I overwrote the cross file and it worked. I need to scale my file down.

Any advice in creating costom presets?

[MaximeParticipant]

It’s not a official way for import files, but with overwrite you can. 

3DS files are create with SketchUp with very low polygon res and a small scale, to be light.

Interesting – will look into this.

So in theory I could drop a corporate logo/artist logo in here and it will show up?

[MaximeParticipant]

Logo only as 3DS file.

Here is a Sketchup file.

You can edit them and export 3ds files + jpg textures.

3ds filename must overwrite an existing 3ds file (for the moment) in your data/3d/ folder.

Useful! Thanks 🙂

This sounds very interesting, ceratainly for logo’s. Can you make a how to tutorial?

Thanks!

Hy Broni ! 

For the moment, this a hack, and it’s not a perfect way to insert logo. 

But you can try to insert your own model, just make a clone of your app, so you don’t take any risks 🙂

A new sketchup Model is available here…

Wanna hack a 3D model ?

1. Use Sketch’Up or other software and create your 3D files. 

2. Export as 3DS file. 

3. Open Bazik Data folder, data/3d/

4. Rename your model (example cross.3ds) and replaces the existing model.

5. Try it in Bazik !

Tips :

– Make a copy of Bazik so you can try without lost something.

– You don’t have to relaunch Bazik, simply relaunch the preset.

– My model length is approximately 50cm in Sketch’Up. Try yours with different scale.

Share your creation !
