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
  • Convert between 52 3D file formats including FBX, GLB, OBJ, Blender, STL, and VRM
  • View 3D models directly in browser for 15 formats
  • Create and edit VRM avatars with 14 specialized tools
  • Optimize meshes with compression, decimation and repair in 9 tools
  • Preserve skeleton, skin weights, shape keys and textures during conversion
  • Support files up to 100 MB with zip archives for textures
  • Automatic file deletion after 3 days
  • Process files on server with Blender and custom converters
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
  • No account or software installation required
  • Viewers run locally on your device without uploading files
  • Supports specialized formats like VRM, MMD, XPS and Blender files
  • Free access to 300 CC0 avatar models for testing
