• Tips for reducing the file size

  For a smooth rendering and a positive experience in immersive virtual reality, the optimization of the geometry in a VR scene is crucial. Due to the limitations of the hardware, it is currently not yet possible to walk through arbitrarily large and complex models in VR. The maximum file size that you can import with an upload to HEGIAS VR also depends on your subscription level. The following tips may help you "shrink" your file if it is too large (list not exhaFew readers

• Skybox

  The skybox is a static 360° image that represents the background of your HEGIAS scene. As a HEGIAS user, you cannot yet edit the skybox yourself. But if you have a suitable photo, we can add the file to the scene you want. To do so, please send us the file and a link to the desired scene at support@hegias.com. If you already have a scene in which a skybox has been stored, you can alternatively copy this scene and then replace the files it contains with the new files. This process preserves theFew readers

• Manually optimize your model

  By manually optimizing the geometry, the performance of your scene can be significantly improved. Your scene may load faster or run more smoothly in VR. Below are some aspects of your 3D model that can have an impact on the file size and performance of your scene. These tips are aimed at advanced users who have experience with 3D drawing programs. We recommend the free open-source software Blender for optimization, but any other 3D-based modeling software can be usedFew readers
