    • Installation guide for Walmart suppliers


    We are excited to let you start using EcoShot. Before proceeding with the installation, please check you are using:

    1. VStitcher 2020 May Edition Hotfix 1 (2020.2.1) or above
    2. Browzwear Cloud licenses
    • If you encounter a "Failed to load plugin" error, it is usually due to a Browzwear license API / Open Platform issue. Please follow the steps in this troubleshooting page as it will require Browzwear's involvement to resolve.


    Registering your account on the EcoShot Image Hub

    1. After receiving an invitation from either Metail or your company's Group Administrator, please register your own account on the EcoShot Image Hub
    2. Go to the Download Plugin tab and download the latest version of the Ecoshot plugin software
    3. Go to the Profile tab and generate an activation code to use during plugin installation


    Installing the EcoShot Plugin for VStitcher

    There are three sets of assets which need to be installed for the EcoShot Plugin to work correctly:

    1. EcoShot Plugin
    2. Metail Lighting
    3. Metail Camera Viewpoints

    You will have already installed the Metail Lighting and Camera Viewpoints as part of the 'Setting you up for success' exercise. The instructions below outline how to install the EcoShot Plugin.

    Unzip EcoShot Bundle

    Please unzip the EcoShot plugin downloaded from the EcoShot Image Hub:

    • on Windows, right-click the ZIP file and select Extract All;
    • on macOS, double-click the ZIP file.

    That will create a folder called EcoShot-<version-number>. Check that inside that folder you have:

    • a folder called assets - this contains the lighting and camera files;
    • a folder called MetailPreview - this contains the plugin.
      ​

    Install EcoShot Plugin

    • Open VStitcher, and go to Preferences (on Mac: VStitcher→Preferences; on Windows: Edit→Preferences)

    • Go to the Plugins tab and click the + button.

    • Select the MetailPreview folder on disk and click OK (Note: if you encounter a "Failed to load plugin" error, please visit this page)
    • Close Preferences. Go to the Plugins menu and select EcoShot->Settings

    Enter in your activation code generated from the EcoShot Image Hub and click Submit.

    If you encounter any problems, please use the chat feature in the EcoShot Image Hub to contact us:

    You should see a list of new avatars. Click Install and your Metail EcoShot avatars will be installed automatically. The log in the Settings window will let you know once installation is complete. Note that the plugin won't work unless all avatars are installed.

    If you do not see the new avatars, please refresh the list of avatars by clicking 'Closet' and then 'Avatars' again.

    You are now ready to use EcoShot! 🎉
