How Generative AI is Impacting 3D Warehouses

Generative AI is creating a lot of excitement and anticipation around 3D asset generation. Game developers and studios, in particular, have long struggled with the challenges associated with 3D asset creation, which can often cause significant bottlenecks in the development process. Creating a single model can cost anywhere from $60-$1500 and take 2–10 weeks with several back-and-forth iterations.

A 3D Warehouse is an cloud-based repository where users upload, share, edit and download 3D models. It’s often used by architects, designers, engineers, and other professionals who need access to a high quantity of 3D models for their projects. This is especially useful for game developers. Some 3D Warehouses are Google’s 3D Warehouse, SketchUp’s 3D Warehouse, echo3D and TurboSquid.

Generative AI enables the creation of high-quality 3D models in a more efficient and cost-effective way. Something that would take hours and hundreds if not thousands of dollars can be done within seconds over and over again. Because of the logic embedded in generative AI, algorithms can analyze large sets of existing 3D models and use this data to generate new, unique designs. This same concept is being applied to generative level design to create endlessly new gaming experiences.

Not only is generative AI capable of creating 3D-ready assets, it can help generate design tools. These tools allow users to input specific design criteria and then generate a large number of potential designs that meet those criteria. This can be particularly useful for complex designs like entire levels, which would otherwise take a long time to create manually.

While it’s still a new capability, generative AI can help analyze existing models. Generative AI algorithms can identify common errors and design flaws and use this information to generate new models that are less prone to these issues. With each iteration, AI can create better assets.

3D warehouses not only store assets you add but they often have their own libraries of 3D assets for users. These can be used as a component for an existing design or as prototypes. Finding ready-made 3D assets in a central library is useful for saving time and effort to making a model from scratch.

Not only is storing assets in a 3D warehouse on the cloud better for faster development, it makes your apps lightweight since assets are called at runtime and not stored within project files. It will also save on the time and labor of doing multiple deployments on various platforms. 3D warehouses offer centralized storage so deployments can be made in one place.

3D warehouses in the cloud can save you both physical and digital space while working on your projects. Working with 3D assets traditionally requires extra storage space but a modern solution with flexible scaling is using a 3D warehouse like echo3D. echo3D offers flexible solutions for implementing 3D assets on the cloud in the form of an SDK or API which keeps your actual project files compact.

Some 3D warehouses have more features than others. echo3D offers version control for 3D assets that can be programmed for future updates or roll back certain versions. There is a suite of tools that enables quick model editing, customized WebAR experiences, collaboration capabilities, compressions and conversions and so much more.
