Here’s a couple of quick tips to reduce model file sizes to better optimize your AR viewing experience.

• Use smaller image textures. These can be saved down to 1024 x 1024px, often with no loss of image quality to the final render.
• Save a JPEG where possible.
• Simplify meshes (remove polygons). The more vertices you have in camera, the more time it takes to render.
• Remove doubles or use the decimator mesh edit feature.
• Remove subdivision surface and multiresolution modifiers.

We recommend swapping the 4K textures to 2K or lower to instantly bring down the file size. This will help optimise your files and ultimately provide a much better AR experience when viewed on the mobile web without losing quality.

Our team uses 3DS Max which is good for optimizing and baking textures and then exporting into CartMagician.

glTF minimizes both the size of 3D assets, and the runtime processing needed to unpack and use those assets. glTF defines an extensible, common publishing format for 3D content tools and services that streamlines authoring workflows and enables interoperable use of content across the industry.

This is a common problem with some 3D modelling applications including SolidWorks and Keyshot. The same misalignment problem can also occur when you place files in Blender, Unity or Unreal.

There is an easy fix (well documented online) – simply select the components of your model and reset all transforms to ‘0’. Start with the components that are misaligned. Once this is done you can also reset the world origin ‘0’ so that your model is centered when viewed. This will correct the positioning and make sure that your components are not misaligned when converting in CartMagician.
