3D models

In Studio's composer, choose 3D, describe an object and choose Build. The Hub default model from Hub > Models describes the object as simple parts, and Studio builds it, checks it and saves it as a GLB file.

Build a model#

1. 1

   Describe it

   Say what the object is, its style, materials and the parts it must have. The 3D screen, Simple 3D models., also has four ideas to start from.

2. 2

   Build it

   The card shows Planning the model, Shaping the parts and Checking the model.

3. 3

   Look at it

   The model turns in the card. Use Turn by itself and Wireframe, and drag to look around.

4. 4

   Refine

   Choose More detail, Simpler, Other colors, or Change… to ask for a change in your own words. Each answer is a new version.

Checks and review#

• After each build, Studio checks the model for floating parts and odd sizes, and asks the model to fix them, up to 2 times.
• If your model can read images, Studio renders the object from four sides and asks the model to review it, up to 2 times (Looking at it from 4 sides, Taking another look). Text-only models skip this step.
• The card shows Ready, or Almost there when problems are left, and the number of parts.

Use it#

• Copy image copies a picture of the model.
• Show the GLB in folder opens the file. Models are saved in .jennefer/studio/models.
• Send to the IDE (the GLB goes into the open project) or Workshop.
• Arrows switch between versions. Hide from here removes the card from the feed; the model stays in 3D, under Your models.

What works well#

3D works best for hard-surface and stylized objects: furniture, products, vehicles, buildings and props. Name the main parts and their sizes, for example "a desk lamp with a round base 20 cm wide, a two-part arm and a cone shade". Organic shapes such as faces, animals and plants are hard to build from simple parts.
