Key features
  • Mesh Simplification: reduce triangle count with quadric-error decimation while preserving silhouette
  • LOD Chains: generate multiple detail levels from one high-poly asset
  • Watertight Rebuild: close holes and rebuild surfaces on damaged models
  • Mesh Inspection: detect non-manifold edges, holes, winding, missing UVs and platform compatibility
  • 3D File Converter: convert between OBJ, STL, PLY, OFF and GLB formats
  • 3D Model Viewer: inspect models with orbit controls, grid and wireframe
  • 3D GIF Maker: export rotating GIF or MP4 turntable animations from models
  • REST API: programmatic access for scripts and asset pipelines
  • MCP server: AI client integration for agents like Claude
  • AI assistant that builds editable scenes from text descriptions
  • Real 3D rendering with physically based materials including glass, chrome and liquid glass
  • Lighting rigs, HDR environments and realistic shadows and caustics
  • Keyframe timeline with easing, springs, motion paths and morphs
  • Advanced camera with depth of field, lens controls and camera moves
  • Text animation presets and kinetic typography synced to audio
  • Data-driven video variants and animated charts from spreadsheets
  • Multi-format artboards with social safe zones for all platforms
  • Interactive web embeds with scroll-driven animation and behaviors
  • Export to video, transparent video, images and USDZ for AR
What makes it different
  • Queue-backed pipeline with Postgres state tracking maintains work across device refreshes and crashes
  • Data privacy: models never used for ML training, stored in private object storage with signed expiring downloads
  • Owned hardware infrastructure with zero-egress storage keeps economics viable for large 3D files
  • Same account and allowances across Studio, REST API and MCP interfaces
  • Processing split by tier: paid work runs on dedicated workers not held up behind free traffic
  • AI that shows its work: builds scenes as ordinary editable layers, not a locked blackbox
  • All 3D elements fully editable: every light, camera move, material and shader stays editable even after AI generation
  • Runs in browser with no install required, exports production-ready video instantly
  • Free tier with full editor and 1080p exports, no watermark
