Thank you for considering contributing to this community-driven dataset. Below are guidelines to keep the dataset consistent and easy to use with SetRsoft.
## How to contribute
- **Add new holds** — contribute 3D models and metadata for climbing holds.
- **Improve existing entries** — fix metadata, update textures or models.
- **Documentation** — improve the README or this file.
## Adding a new hold
### 1. Directory structure
Create a folder named with the **hold ID** (e.g. `0000000002`) at the root of the dataset.
Include:
| File or folder | Description |
|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `hold.glb` | Web-ready 3D model (or `.obj`, `.stl`) |
| `hold.blend` | Source file for Blender |
| `texture.png` | Texture image (PNG, JPG, TGA, BMP, WebP, etc.) |
| `images/` | Photos used for photogrammetry, reference images (e.g., dimensions) |
| `metadata.json` | Hold specifications (see below) |
### 2. Naming and IDs
- Use a unique, zero-padded numeric ID for the folder (e.g. `0000000001`, `0000000002`).
- Coordinate with maintainers if you need a new ID to avoid conflicts.
### 3. metadata.json
- Use **Unix timestamps** (seconds) for `created_at` and `last_update`.
- Set **timezone_offset** (e.g. `"+01:00"`, `"UTC"`) so dates can be interpreted correctly.
- Fill in as many fields as possible: `type`, `labels`, `color_of_scan`, `available_colors`, `manufacturer`, `model`, `size`, etc.
- **note** (optional): free-text notes or comments about the hold for contributors.
- **status** (optional): workflow state — `to_render` (only photos, no mesh yet), `to_clean` (mesh present but not cleaned), `to_identify` (brand/model not in allowed references).
Refer to the example in the [README](README.md#-structure).
### 4. File formats
- **3D mesh** — GLB, GLTF, OBJ, or STL; at least one required for a complete hold. GLB is standard for web and SetRsoft; export from Blender with scale and orientation consistent with existing holds.
- **Blend** — keep the source file so others can edit or re-export (optional).
- **Texture** — PNG, JPG, JPEG, TGA, BMP, WebP; avoid unnecessarily large resolutions.
- **images/** — place photos used for generation and reference images (e.g. dimensions) in this subfolder; any common image format.
## Submitting changes
1. **Fork** the repository and create a branch (e.g. `add-hold-0000000002`).
2. **Add or modify** only the hold folder(s) and files you are contributing.
3. **Open a Pull Request** with a short description of the hold(s) and, if applicable, source (scan, manufacturer, etc.).
4. Maintainers will review structure, metadata, and file validity.
