3D data

The graph editor operates most effectively when 3D data meet the following requirements.

Input	Requirements
File type	.stl, .obj, .GLTF, .GLB, .FBX
File size	Max 100mb per Mesh
Scale	When relevant, ensure to use the appropriate scale required for manufacturing.
Output	Requirements
File type	.stl or .obj
File size	Unlimited

Additional requirements (recommended)
	Visualization purposes	Manufacturing purposes
Mesh characteristics	0 non-manifolds 0 intersecting faces 0 bad contiguous edges 0 Zero faces (all faces must have an area larger than 0.01mm²	0 non-manifolds 0 intersecting faces 0 bad contiguous edges 0 Zero faces (all faces must have an area larger than 0.01mm²
Mesh file size	Below 15mb is advised for fast loading	Max 100mb
Topology	Topology and polygon count optimized for visualization	Topology and polygon count optimized for production
Digital materials	Include Digital Material Resources Include UV mapping in the mesh Include material assignment	Not applicable

2D data

The graph editor operates most effectively when 2D data meet the following requirements.

Input	Output
Vector (.svg)	2D shape (.svg, .pdf, .dxf)
Colormap (.png, .tif, .tiff, .bmp)	Colormap (.png, .bmp, .tif, .tiff)
Monomap (.png, .tif, .tiff, .bmp)	Monomap (.bmp, .png, tif, .tiff)
Font (.ttf)	Fonts cannot be exported, they are merely used to be visualized in 2D or 3D and then exported as such, if needed.

Category	Requirement
Icons & Logo’s
File type	Recommended: Vector file format (.svg) Other: Any common image format (.jpeg, .png)
Image quality	Make sure the image quality aligns with the intended application and production specifications. Vector files must have closed paths and should avoid stacked or overlapping anchor points.
Scale	When relevant, ensure to use the appropriate scale required for manufacturing.
Material resources
File type	Recommended: Necessary texture maps for realistic material representation, such as albedo, diffuse, specular, roughness, bump, and normal maps, in common image formats (.jpg, .png). If geometry displacement is needed, provide a grayscale heightmap. Specify color codes in RGB, HSL, or HEX formats. Minimum: Reference images in any standard image format, including .jpg, .png and others.
Image quality	Recommended: Square resolution with a pixel amount in width & height of a power of 2 (eg. 1024, 2048, 4096…) Minimum: Use a resolution that is sufficiently high to enable realistic visualization of materials.
Environments
File type	Recommended: High Dynamic Range Images with 16 or 32-bit information in .exr, .hdr… Minimum: Environment maps with 8-bit information in any common image format (.jpg, .png)
Image quality	Recommended: 4096 x 2048 pixels in equirectangular format. Minimum: 2048 x 1024 pixels in equirectangular format.
Twikit library	https://docs.twikit.com/5.0/settings-environment-maps
Background templates
File type	Minimum: Any common image format (.jpg, .png)
Image quality	Recommended: Width of 2048 pixels or more. Minimum: Width of 1440 pixels
