3D Creation Software
For creating items in ZEPETO, 3D digital content creation software is required. For creating items in ZEPETO, the software must be able to edit 3D models by component, rig the items to a joint or bone based skeleton, and import and export FBX files. Programs like Maya, Blender, or 3DS Max can be used, or other programs with similar capabilities.
ZEPETO recommends using Autodesk Maya.
- Blender can be downloaded from their website here for free.
Image Editor
To give color and detail to the item, texture images have to be created and edited. For this task, image editing software is required.
- You can create and edit textures with an image editor such as Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo, or Krita
- You can download Photoshop from here, and use a free 7 day trial to get started
