Toggle3D integrates with Sketchfab for AI 3D Model Texturing

Written by Toggle3D.ai | Sep 27, 2023 4:06:39 PM

Toggle3D.ai integrates with Sketchfab, empowering users access to its powerful 3D design software to use AI 3D texturing for creating unlimited custom 3D designs at record speed.

Toggle3D, the innovative 3D design studio, is a one-stop solution for converting, texturing, customizing your 3D models and sharing high-quality 3D product experiences in web/AR-friendly formats. It requires no coding, and its powerful AI and intuitive interface empower users without formal 3D design training to create stunning 3D designs.  

Sketchfab is the leading platform and marketplace for publishing, managing, and discovering AR and 3D content online. Sketchfab boasts an extensive community of 10 million members and provides access to a vast library of over 5 million 3D models, along with VR and AR content that can be downloaded directly from the platform.

The new integration allows Toggle3D users to access their Sketchfab accounts and bring their 3D models into Toggle3D’s web-based studio for quick and easy 3D texturing, customizing, and sharing in 4K resolutions. Toggle3D’s advanced AI effortlessly transforms CAD files into models, primed for designers to customize.

Sketchfab users can now export their 3D models into Toggle3D with a button and subsequently manipulate colors, textures, lighting, and finishes, creating an extensive array of new variations.

How does the integration work?

Both platforms allow a seamless user experience to make 3D design more accessible and efficient. The following are the five easy steps to create brilliant 3D designs, maximizing the enhanced capabilities available to users thanks to this integration:

1. Log into Toggle3D’s design studio online.

2. Import a Sketchfab 3D model directly to the Toggle3D platform.

3. Add surface properties to the 3D model in one of the following ways:

  1. Select your PBR material from over 1000 4K PBR materials ready to use in Toggle3D’s pre-built library.

  2. Make your own photo-realistic PBR material from scratch using Toggle3D’s AI material generation capabilities:

    • Simply upload a photo of a real-world surface or object onto the platform

    • Or add a text prompt as the input to Toggle3D’s generative AI software for direct PBR material generation.

4. Select an environment and 3D lighting preset for your 3D model from Toggle3D’s curated repository to give it a life-like appearance.

5. Export the 3D model in a web/AR-friendly format to your Sketchfab account or as a separate file accessed through a mobile-scannable QR code.

The Benefits of the Integration of Toggle3D and Sketchfab

This integration aligns with Toggle3D's mission of promoting a smoother, more efficient, and streamlined 3D design workflow and will help offer Sketchfab users unmatched benefits in the world of 3D design by expanding their potential to diversify their 3D models portfolio.

This integration will benefit Sketchfab’s extensive ecosystem of millions to transform their existing Sketchfab 3D models into multiple custom 3D designs.

Sketchfab users will gain access to Toggle3D’s seamless 3D design software with all its revolutionary features (after they sign up for Toggle3D):

AI CAD Conversion: The 3D design studio automatically converts CAD files into optimized, light 3D meshes. It removes the internal parts of a CAD model that will not impact the product’s 3D design and won’t be used for adding 3D character texture.

AI 3D model texturing: 3D texturing has never been easier. Sketchfab users can harness the power of Toggle3D’s AI for texturing their Sketchfab 3D models with suggestive prompts, accessing a vast library of PBR materials, and efficiently refining their 3D designs.

Cloud-based workflow: Users don’t have to install any software or download any 3D model. The Sketchfab 3D models can be directly sourced from the user’s Sketchfab library as new projects on Toggle3D’s interface.

No coding required: Custom 3D design creation is as simple as ‘point and click’ in Toggle3D. Users need no coding knowledge or steep learning curve for 3D model texturing; the 3D design software’s interface is intuitive and easy to use.

Consolidated Workflow: Toggle3D users can convert, color, texturize, add light to their 3D model designs, and share them from the same platform. Thereby eliminating the need for multiple 3D design software applications and file conversions.

Simplified Publication: The 3D designs textured in Toggle3D are web-friendly and ready for immediate integration into websites and promotional material and for sharing online.

Compatibility with Augmented Reality: Simple Sketchfab 3D models can be customized into brilliant works of art and even be displayed in the AR universe with Toggle3D. Every design created in the studio comes with its own QR code that enables AR viewing.

Scalability: Toggle3D makes the process of texturing 3D models not only simple but highly scalable by utilizing cutting-edge AI technology. Sketchfab users can turn one simple 3D model into several unique custom 3D designs with only a few clicks.

Speed: Toggle3D’s generative AI makes 3D model texturing almost instantaneous. A meticulous process that would take hours is now completed within minutes thanks to AI 3D model texturing.

The integration between Toggle3D and Sketchfab promises fantastic opportunities for 3D artists and designers to capitalize on by accelerating 3D modeling and texturing and consolidating their entire workflow on one single platform.
