The recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the world we’re living in. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are heralding a whole new tech revolution in almost every field of work. If AI can write poems and paint pictures of people who never existed, there is no doubt that it can take a 3D model designing to new heights. The extent to which we benefit from these technological advances now depends on our willingness to learn new AI-powered tools and leverage them to improve our work in terms of speed, quality as well as simplicity.
Toggle3D.ai is dedicated to making the most of cutting-edge AI technology in the field of 3D and AR design. With its game-changing web-based design studio, 3D designers can now make their lives remarkably easier – by directly tapping into the power of breakthrough AI for 3D model designing.
But before we see how, let us clearly understand the conventional 3D modeling and texturing process and its problems which cost a substantial amount of money as well as time.
The biggest challenge is working with not just one but multiple design tools involved in the conventional design process, which requires laborious and complicated steps.
3D Modeling
Trained 3D modelers use conventional 3D design software like AutoCAD to create the basic 3D model, i.e. the geometrical structure, of the product they have to design.
3D Texturing
The 3D modeling team sends the designed 3D model to specially skilled 3D texturing artists who are trained to use multiple 3D texturing tools to give the 3D model its surface properties. They include materials, colors, textures and finishes, which give the 3D model its lifelike appearance.
Lighting and Rendering
The 3D texturing artists then add a virtual environment and lighting to the 3D model to give it the appearance that the real-world product would have, creating shadows and shining on various surfaces. The 3D model is then rendered to produce the final output.
Conversion Into AR/VR/Web-Friendly Formats
The 3D model rendered and exported by texturing tools usually isn’t in an AR/VR/web-friendly format. It has to be converted into a format that is compatible with the platform where the 3D model will be displayed for purposes like presentation and marketing. This too requires a separate tool.
The main problem with the conventional 3D design process is quite clear: the complexity of the workflow. There are simply too many different platforms and trained design specialists required for one 3D model to reach its completion. The process of converting a CAD file to an AR/VR/web-friendly format itself requires as many as 6 different platforms. Consequently, there are multiple software installations and file conversions required when transitioning from one platform to another. The result is greater costs and hundreds of hours spent to achieve quality output.
Toggle3D.ai is disrupting the 3D design industry by harnessing the full potential of AI to make the 3D design process easy, scalable and accessible to an extent that was inconceivable before now. Toggle3D enables not just skilled 3D designers and texturing artists but even graphic designers and non-designers to design stunning 3D and AR models with a few simple clicks on its intuitive point and click interface.
Here is the astonishingly simple process for designing, customizing and publishing using this AI-powered, web based 3D design software :
Import your CAD files to Toggle3D.ai’s web-based platform : Toggle3D.
With the click of a button, the software will automatically convert, UV unwrap and prepare your file for 3D web design. The result is a stunning 3D mesh that is web-friendly and up to 95% lighter than heavy CAD files. Using conventional design software this process would require a 3D designer to work on almost 5-6 platforms.
Directly add surface properties like materials, colors and textures to the 3D models, never bothering about the tedious process of UV mapping. Textures can be added just by selecting suitable options from Toggle3D’s vast prebuilt library or by simply clicking and uploading photos of real objects. The AI-powered software then directly converts the JPEG files into a photo-realistic PBR material, all by itself.
Add lighting, render and export the 3D models in a file format that can be seamlessly integrated into platforms like websites and mobile apps. Toggle3D even generates a QR code for every 3D model, enabling webAR viewing with even a regular smartphone.
With Toggle3D anyone can be a 3D designer, anyone. Regardless of their prior experience in 3D modeling or lack thereof, a user can complete the entire 3D design process from start to end on the Toggle3D platform alone. This just isn’t possible with design tools that don’t use advanced technology like machine learning, AI and/or computer vision for 3D design. This not only saves costs and time, but also makes it easy to share 3D and AR models. Being entirely web-based, the app eliminates the need for any software installation at all. Moreover, it eliminates the need for multiple file conversions and back-and-forths with skilled texturing artists by making the design workflow easy enough for anyone to conduct on their own. All this is achieved by simply making use of AI for 3D designs.
When it comes to the reasons for using Toggle3D, having a one-stop 3D design solution is just the tip of the iceberg! The ground-breaking SaaS software platform has been making waves in the industry for not one but several reasons.
Here are the many more noteworthy benefits of using Toggle3D as your go-to 3D model designing software:
