Preparing models

Supported formats

Upload GLB (recommended) or glTF. Export presets from Blender, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D and SketchUp all work; keep materials PBR (the glTF standard).

What happens on upload — automatically

Every upload runs through the optimization pipeline. You never configure this:

• Geometry compression for fast web delivery.
• Texture encoding — color maps and detail maps are re-encoded to GPU-friendly formats sized for their role.
• AR derivatives — iOS (USDZ) and Android formats are generated per model, so AR works the moment the project is published.
• Versioning — replacing a model updates every published surface (viewer, embeds, AR) consistently.

Guidelines for good results

• Real-world scale. Model in meters at true size — AR places the product at exactly the size you export.
• Reasonable budgets. Web viewers are not render farms; keep meshes sensible (typically well under 1M triangles) and textures ≤ 2048px where possible — the pipeline compresses further, but starting lean keeps quality headroom.
• Clean origin. Place the model at the scene origin, resting on the ground plane.

Multi-part products

If the product will be configured from separate parts (body + legs + cushion), export each part as its own model in a shared coordinate frame — every part positioned where it belongs relative to the assembled product. The configurator assembles parts by their exported frames, so consistency here is what makes assemblies line up perfectly. Details: Configurator.
