Zellermesh Surfaces

Open Mesh or “ZellerMesh” is optional for new designs, however we HIGHLY recommend utilizing it within your designs. It creates a much softer, more comfortable interface for the foot.

You should upload the STLs with the surfaces that define the ZellerMesh regions. Find the requirements below.

Surfaces Requirements:

  • STL file size less or equal to 50 mb
  • Should not be watertight 
  • Tolerance: individual meshes parts have areas larger than 1 squared mm.
  • Is a copy of shoe surface region, defined by sharing the same shoe polygon faces. Should stop at collar (not share faces) 
  • Mesh should be above the texturemap reference surface (green surface above - download from templates)

  • REMINDER: For LOGOS IN THE UPPER, make sure the zellermesh surface edges go around the whole logo, to make a CLOSED SHELL ISLAND that connects all letters/symbols together! 

OPEN MESH AND COLLAR TUTORIAL

We created this tutorial video to help you understand how to prepare the files for the collar and open mesh regions of your shoe.
