Confirm that the mesh contains the complete visible form and useful surface normals. Do not rely on a neighboring .mtl file or external texture folder being collected by the one-file picker.
Drapery Reveal
Create a reveal from an OBJ model
OBJ is a practical geometry exchange format, but the current Drapery Reveal workflow does not load a companion MTL file with the selected model.

Treat OBJ as geometry-first
Inspect the imported mesh
Check orientation, connected parts, face direction, and the overall silhouette after import. The editor centers and normalizes the model for its scene, so source units are not preserved as an absolute presentation scale.
Style the model in the scene
Use the editor’s presentation material and lighting controls to create a readable result. Review highlights and shadows from the intended camera angle before draping the cloth.
Build a clean pull path
OBJ models may include narrow or disconnected parts that complicate cloth contact. Choose coverage and pull direction based on the visible silhouette, then preview the complete simulation before recording.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Will Drapery Reveal load my MTL file?
No. The current OBJ workflow does not load an accompanying MTL file, so original materials and external textures should not be assumed.
Should I convert OBJ to GLB?
Convert to a self-contained GLB when preserving embedded materials and textures is important to the final presentation.
