WatchMaker 3D FAQ

What do I need?

Make sure you have WatchMaker 7.0+ installed on your phone and watch
At date of writing WatchMaker 7.0 is available in beta for phones and Wear OS watches
The Samsung watch version (Tizen OS) is expected in mid March as it must first pass Samsung review which is time-consuming

You can now move this 3d object how you would normally by dragging or using values in editor, e.g. Position X/Y
Note you can now move along the Z axis and scale the object along all 3 axes - Scale X/Y/Z

Custom 3D objects must be in .obj (Wavefront) format
You can download ready-made 3D objects from websites such as blendswap or Free3d
Try and select low-poly models as these will be displayed on a small watchface with limited memory!
Copy the .obj (3D object) file and associated .mtl (material) file, plus associated textures to somewhere on your PC or Mac
If you only have .blend format, you need to install Blender using link below and export as .obj (Wavefront format)
Alternatively create your own 3D object using Blender and export as .obj (Wavefront format)

Please download or create low-poly models as these will be displayed on a small watchface with limited memory!
Maximum file size of .obj file in WatchMaker is 3MB
.obj file names must contain upper case, lower case, numbers, hyphens or underscores only

You can add 3D text using the + 3D / Text option
Select from one of 3 built-in 3D fonts
To increase/decrease the 3d effect, scale the Z axis (with constraints turned off)
Support for custom 3D fonts coming soon
