Step 2: Get 3D models of your products

Product photos

3D models are created using photos. To create the 3D model, the Shopify Expert needs photos of your products from multiple angles:


When taking photos of your product, follow these guidelines:

  • Make sure that your product is well lit.
  • Make sure that your whole product is in focus.
  • If possible, don't use a cellphone camera. For large products like furniture, use a camera with a 50mm lens. For small to medium size products, use a 70mm or 100mm lens.
  • Take extra photos of any unique details or textures.
  • Give the photo files clear titles like blue vase - top , or blue vase - left and store them in a clearly labelled folder.

Product dimensions

To create accurate 3D models, the Shopify Expert needs detailed measurements of your product. When providing measurements, follow these guidelines:

  • Describe each dimension of your product in clear, simple terms.
  • Provide the measurements in mm .
  • Include a diagram to show which dimensions the measurements correspond to.
  • If you have technical drawings or CAD files associated with your product, include those as well.

Naomi gives the expert a measurement diagram with corresponding product dimensions in millimeters:

  • The height of the vase (1) is ____mm
  • The top of the vase to the bottom of the neck (2) is ____mm
  • The bottom of the neck to the bottom of the vase (3) is ____mm
  • The diameter of the mouth of the vase (4) is ____mm
  • The width of the lip of the mouth (5) is ____mm
  • The diameter of the bottom of the neck (6) is ____mm
  • There are 8 hexagonal faces on the vase
  • The height of the hexagonal faces (8) are ____mm
  • The width of the hexagonal faces (9) are ____mm
  • The diameter of the widest part of the vase (10) is ____mm
  • The diameter of the bottom of the vase (11) is ____mm
  • The diameter of the foam feet are ____mm

The Shopify Expert uses these photos and dimensions to create a 3D model of the blue vase. The expert sends Naomi a.glband a.usdzfile for her to add to the 3D Warehouse app.

You may hire expert following:

  • From your Shopify admin, click your account menu, then click Hire a Shopify expert:

When you submit a job request, you are not committing to hire a Shopify Expert. This step only submits a description of your project to available experts, who will then review your request. If an expert decides to work with you, then they will contact you with more information about their fees and how to start the process.

If you haven't provided product photos and product dimensionsalready as part of your job request, then the expert will request them from you. Follow the specifications below when taking photos and measurements.

Step 3: Add a 3D model to the 3D Warehouse app

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, click Apps.
  2. Click 3D Warehouse.
  3. Click Add 3D Model.
  4. In the Title field, enter a title for the 3D model.

  6. Click Upload File and select the .usdzfile provided by the Shopify Expert or your designer.
  7. Click Save.

Repeat the upload process for the.gltfor.glbfile that your Shopify Expert provided. Make sure you link it to the same product so that you have both 3D model file types associated with the product.

Note

If you upload a.gltffile, you'll be prompted to add additional files in the Linked Files section. Click Upload File to upload the linked texture resources provided by your expert.

Accepted file types
