# 3ds Max

{% hint style="danger" %}
Before uploading, make sure to include the clothing texture in the FBX.
{% endhint %}

### **1.**  Check the clothing object created on the base model

* In the Base Model Setup, check that the created clothing is properly worn. 

{% hint style="info" %}
If the unit setup or pivot is incorrect, the position may not align correctly.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Diffuse 1024x1024**&#x20;

**Normal 1024x1024&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**(Using OpenGL method)**</mark>

**Metallic 1024x1024**

**Roughness 1024x1024**&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Use the OpenGL method for the normal map. 3Ds Max uses DirectX, so you need to check the **Y-axis** to make it appear correctly.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/GTXRHtNbpTEKwFq7D5Br" alt=""><figcaption><p>You need to change to <mark style="color:red;"><strong>Realistic Material</strong></mark> view to see it properly.</p></figcaption></figure>

### 3. Apply material

{% hint style="info" %}
Please check that there are no holes showing the inner mesh and that it is well sealed.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/abL9fDkJXN0zYapiucCK" alt=""><figcaption><p><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>O: The normal map has been applied correctly.</strong></mark></p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure that the normal is not flipped and that the applied texture is inserted correctly.
