# Altava
### 1. Setting Up Modeling Software
* You can use 3D modeling software such as 3D Blender, 3D Max, and more.
* For 3D Max, we recommend versions up to **2023.**
* For high-polygon modeling, we recommend **Zbrush.**
* For texturing, we recommend **Substance 3D Painter or Photoshop.**
### 2. Download Base Model
To create clothing, you must need a base model. Download the base model files below and import them into your chosen modeling tool to create the clothing.
**Male Mannequin Model**

**Female Mannequin Model**

When submitting your modeling work, it must be complete with textures applied.
For detailed information on texturing, please refer to the following guide [\[Texture\]](/creator-guide/modeling-guidelines/texture.md).
### 4. Export
After creating a 3D model, please make sure to check the Export option. For detailed information, please refer to the list below.
