3DBAE

Overview

3DBAE is a browser workspace for creating interactive 3D product experiences and publishing them as embeddable viewers. It combines visual workflows for product imagery and AI-assisted creation with tools for configuring and presenting 3D scenes. Published viewers can be embedded on a website, and supported scenes can be opened in AR on iPhone or Android.

The configurator supports model and material variants, hotspots, animation, on-screen controls, and interaction logic. A JavaScript Model API is available for projects that need to work with the configurator programmatically. 3DBAE lists 12 import formats and 8 export formats, including GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL, PLY, SPLAT, SPZ, and SOG.

For product visualization and interactive configurators, see our guides to Product Visualization Software and 3D Product Configurator Software.

Key features

Canvas and AI workflows

Canvas links images, prompts, and AI tools in visual workflows for product imagery, video, and image-to-3D generation. When an AI feature is used, 3DBAE sends the inputs and settings needed for that operation to configured model infrastructure. Inputs may include prompts, reference media, and a relevant snapshot of project state. Paid plans include monthly AI credits, while Hobby has none.

Configurator and publishing

Users can assemble scenes with model and material variants, hotspots, animation, on-screen controls, and interaction logic. Published scenes can be shared through an iframe embed. Supported scenes can also be opened in AR on iPhone or Android. Public viewer links and embeds make the published scene and its required rendering files available to people who can access the link.

Formats and integrations

The product page lists 12 import formats and 8 export formats, naming GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL, PLY, SPLAT, SPZ, and SOG among them. Live Link connects Autodesk 3ds Max 2024–2027 on 64-bit Windows with a 3DBAE browser project and syncs the exportable scene. The Platform MCP server connects compatible AI clients through OAuth, with scopes approved for the task.

Privacy and support

3DBAE says it uses access controls, scoped authorization, encryption in transit, credential hashing, signed asset access, and logging. Projects remain private unless shared or published. Support messages, contact details, and any files or diagnostic information supplied by a user are processed to respond to support requests.

Pricing

3DBAE has a free plan and paid plans from 12.00 USD per month. Its listed plans are:

The Hobby plan is limited to one project and a small number of models and environment assets, with no AI credits. Paid plans add storage, project or configurator capacity, and monthly credits; the higher tiers also specify parallel generations and collaboration or bonus credits. The listed information does not state how many credits particular AI operations consume.

Platforms

3DBAE lists Android, iOS, web, Windows, and API among its platforms. The core workspace is browser-based. Live Link requires Autodesk 3ds Max 2024–2027 on 64-bit Windows, while supported published scenes can be viewed in AR on iPhone or Android.

Who it's for

3DBAE describes itself for e-commerce businesses, product manufacturers, 3D studios and designers, and marketing teams. It is relevant to groups that need configurable product scenes, interactive web viewing, or supported AR presentation. The Hobby plan provides a small free starting point, while teams needing more projects, assets, storage, or AI generation credits will need to consider a paid tier.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Combines visual AI workflows, a product configurator, interactive viewing, iframe publishing, and supported AR scenes in one browser workspace.
• Pros: Offers a JavaScript Model API, multiple named import and export formats, Live Link for 3ds Max, and an MCP server for compatible AI clients.
• Pros: Includes a free plan and clearly specified paid tiers with storage and monthly AI credit allocations.
• Cons: Hobby is limited to one project, up to two models and two environment assets, and no AI credits.
• Cons: The listed facts do not explain credit consumption by operation, and extra seats on Creator AI are sold separately.
• Cons: AR is described for supported scenes, so it is not stated as available for every project.

Alternatives

Other options to consider include Spheri, Spellexo, TARDIS, Cylindo, iC3D Suite, Sayduck, 3D Product Config, and Mazing.

Verdict

3DBAE brings product-scene authoring, configuration, and web publishing together, with AI workflows, a JavaScript Model API, and AR support for compatible scenes. Its free plan is tightly bounded, and the paid tiers distinguish themselves through storage, asset capacity, AI credits, and generation or collaboration allowances. It is worth considering for e-commerce, manufacturing, design, and marketing teams whose work calls for interactive product presentations; before choosing a plan, check that its format list, AI credit allocation, and AR support fit the intended workflow.
