Asset Guidelines

Marker

• File Type: PNG or JPEG format
• Size: Less than 50 MB
• Format: Accepts RGB, not CMYK

A good marker has lots of detail and contrast as opposed to blocks of text or odd shapes. The Blippar app is colour blind, so please keep this in mind when you are about to begin with a project – if you have the same image but in two different colours, the app will not be able to differentiate between the two.

3D models

• All assets should be converted to BB3, Blippar’s proprietary format. 
• To create an BB3 you can use our FBX to BB3 converter (found here) to convert the FBX file that you created or bought
• The converter currently accepts FBX files with:
  • However, each geometry can only contain 32,767 Polygons, 32,767 UVs, and 32,767 Vertices.
• More than a single geometry.
• Node hierarchy with transform information
• Embedded textures
• Texture maps
• Model size under 8mb

• We do not support FBX files with:
• Lighting
