Ⅰ. Import OBJ File

Import OBJ File
Load Type		Open: Open file and overwrite the original project.
		Add: Add file without overwriting the original project.
Object Type	Load as Avatar	Used to import OBJ‑format 3D avatar models (e.g. Rhino‑modeled avatars for bag design) as avatar objects supporting bone rigging and pose adjustment. Right‑click one‑click conversion to pattern pieces is available. Make sure the OBJ mesh is split into multiple independent meshes, and set Object Type to "Load as Avatar".
	Load as Trim	Import OBJ as non‑garment, non‑avatar additional components (buttons, zipper pulls, decorative pieces, etc.), generally for higher scene realism or animation.
	Load as Garment	Import OBJ as pre‑modeled 3D garment assets (OBJ garments exported from CLO or Browzwear). Check 【Trace 2D Pattern from UV Map】to reuse assets across software.
	Load as Prop	mport OBJ as scene‑level props (hangers, display stands, accessory brackets, etc.). They do not participate in simulation or bone rigging and are only for visualization and composition.
Scale		mm / cm / m / ft / inch (adjustable scale percentage)
	Auto Scale	When checked, units will be detected automatically.
Axis Conversion		Change the axis orientation of the OBJ file.
Translation		Translation Unit: mm/cm/m/ft/inch	Moves the initial position of imported objects (centered on origin).
		XYZ Translation Distance: Translation offset along X, Y and Z‑axis respectively.

1.1 One‑click Convert to Pattern Piece via Right‑click for Avatar Format

1. File ▶ Import ▶ Import OBJ ▶ Object Type ▶ Load as Avatar
2. Right‑click the selected OBJ object ▶ Convert to Pattern Piece

1.2 Import OBJ Avatqar and Display Placement Points

1. Open a built‑in avatar with a body shape close to your custom avatar (e.g. select “Nana” for standard female avatar).

2. Select [Inherit Placement Information] when importing the OBJ, and placement points will be synced to your custom avatar.

3. If placement points are misaligned, adjust manually: Select Avatar ▶ Edit Virtual Avatar ▶ Adjust Placement Information.

II. Export OBJ File

Export OBJ File
Target Object		Select elements in the current project for OBJ export; multi‑selection is supported.
	Thin	Retain only basic surface contours without visible solid thickness for smaller file size.
	Thick	The model keeps solid thickness with complete length, width and height in 3D space, resulting in larger file size.
Options	Merge Meshes	Separate: Control mesh separation Merge All: Merge all meshes By Fabric & Trims: Merge meshes according to fabrics and trims
	Auto‑Rename Meshes	Automatically generate or revise mesh names on export to avoid conflicts from duplicate names.
	Unified UV Coordinates	Controls texture continuity across multiple parts.
Scale	mm/cm/m/ft/in	Adjust imported model size based on selected scale option and percentage value.
Axis Transformation	Models in OBJ files may use coordinate axes different from those of your garment‑modeling software. Axis Conversion corrects axis orientation discrepancies upon import to ensure proper model orientation and natural character standing pose.
File	Save with texture file	Export and save texture files together
	Save with Texture Files	Export textures combined with color maps
Encoding	UTF-8	Universal character encoding supporting nearly all languages including Chinese, English and special characters, with high compatibility.
	Local	Chinese‑specific encoding compatible with Simplified / Traditional Chinese. Limited support for other languages such as special English symbols and minor languages, and prone to errors on non‑Chinese systems (e.g. native Mac environment).

Ⅲ. Export OBJ Sequence

• Export OBJ File: Exports the 3D model only at the current frame or static pose. It contains one .obj file (geometry data) and the accompanying .mtl material file, suitable for single‑frame preview or static rendering.
• Export OBJ Sequence: Exports each frame from animation or dynamic simulation as separate OBJ files (e.g. frame_001.obj, frame_002.obj…) to form a sequence. It preserves geometric changes of garments during movement and deformation for animation reconstruction or dynamic analysis in third‑party software.

IV. OBJ Mannequin Fitting

Notes

• An external mannequin file in OBJ format is required
• Select a built‑in mannequin of the same gender as the external model
• The external model shall not contain shoes (interferes with fitting)
• The external model shall not contain hair (interferes with fitting)
• If shoes or hair exist in the source file, remove them using third‑party software

Workflow (Female Mannequin Example)

1. Open the female virtual mannequin and set hair and shoes to None.

2. Select Mannequin ▶ Edit Virtual Mannequin ▶ Virtual Mannequin Size ▶ Fit Mannequin ▶ Import Mannequin, then select the OBJ file.

3. Adjust length and circumference parameters to align the virtual mannequin with the red outline of the external mannequin.

4. Fine‑tune size parameters together with skeleton settings to maximize outline matching between the two mannequins.

5. Click [Align Position]; the software will automatically align the outlines of the two mannequins.

6. Click [Fit Mannequin ▶ Convert]. Preview the result once conversion succeeds.

7. Close the editing task panel. The fitted mannequin retains dimensions from the external model and keeps its skeleton.

V. Workflows after OBJ Import

1. Workflow A: Original Simulation Result + AI Rendering Import OBJ as garment and generate images via iWish. If a mannequin is needed, export it separately as FBX in the original software before import.
2. Workflow B: Re‑simulation with Studio Mannequin + AI Rendering Import OBJ as garment, re‑simulate with the built‑in Studio mannequin, then render with iWish. To keep original fabric physical properties, import fabrics and apply them to pattern pieces.
3. Workflow C: Pattern Revision / Re‑simulation + AI Rendering Import OBJ as garment, trace to generate editable pattern pieces for revision, replace fabrics, adjust mannequin pose, and render via iWish.
