Important considerations
-
Vyking Studio works in meters as its unit of measurement. Thus if an imported model's length is not in the region of around 0.1 to 1 units then the model will appear too big in the viewer. Although, you do still have the ability to increase/decrease the model's scale.
-
Please be aware that in this version of Vyking Studio the occluders are always children of the 3D shoe model.
