How to add a new object color

There are two ways to upload an object to the Vizbl platform:

• As a single file containing both the model and textures,
• By uploading the model and textures separately.

You can add color options to an object only when the model and textures are uploaded separately.

Read our full guide on upload types and and when to use each method.
