Studio Docs
Explore the tools, features, and capabilities of the BASE 3D-AR Studio.
How It Works
Go from raw 3D asset to live AR experience in three simple steps.
Upload or Generate
Drag and drop your 3D model into the Studio, or create one from scratch using our AI-powered 3D Generator. Text prompts and reference images both work.
Customize & Brand
Design your experience with professional lighting presets, material editing, animation controls, and your own branding. Preview on desktop and mobile simultaneously.
Publish & Share
Go live with one click. Share via link, QR code, or embed on any website. Your audience can view in 3D and launch AR instantly, no app required.
Core Features
A complete toolkit for creating, managing, and publishing professional 3D-AR content.
Model Manager
Drag and drop .GLB uploads up to 50 MB, five per batch, with instant local preview. Automatic DRACO and WebP optimization, live thumbnails and 4K PNG screenshots.
Scene Editor
20 built-in HDRI environments and soft VSM shadows at 2048x2048 with adjustable softness. One-click Studio and Cinematic setups, custom backgrounds, camera start views and per-model zoom limits.
Material Editor
Real-time PBR editing on a full MeshPhysicalMaterial pipeline. Base Color, Roughness, Metalness, Normal, Emissive and AO maps are all editable, with your own texture uploads.
Control Editor
Auto-rotate speed, zoom limits, camera orbit constraints, shadow controls and animation playback. Fine-tune model offset and 3-axis orientation, lock rear or bottom views, and save the starting angle.
3D Generator (AI)
Generate production-ready models from text descriptions or reference photos. Four AI engines: Meshy 7, Tripo v3.1, Rodin Gen 2.5 and Hunyuan 3.1 by Tencent.
Page Designer
Brand your 3D-AR pages with a custom logo, AR button styling and QR popup design, set independently for desktop and mobile. Eight built-in Page Themes, or save your own.
Library
Every model is paired 1:1 with its own 3D-AR page. Flip it Live or Offline from the status badge, or open Share & Embed for QR code and public link.
Analytics
Track views, AR activations, QR scans and engagement time across 12 real-time Quick Stats. Filter by date range, drill into per-page analytics, and export PDF reports.
3D Generator (AI)
Create production-ready GLB models with PBR materials from a text prompt or a photo. Four AI engines, up to 3 generations at once.
Text-to-3D
Describe what you want in natural language, from 10 up to 500 characters. An estimated time badge updates every time you change the engine or one of its options.
Image-to-3D
Upload PNG, JPG, WEBP, AVIF or HEIC up to 20 MB and AI reconstructs it in 3D. Multi-view input: 5 images on Rodin, 4 on Meshy, Tripo and Hunyuan Pro.
Four AI Engines
Tripo, Meshy, Rodin and Hunyuan, each with its own option set. Tripo is selected by default.
Tripo v3.1
The default engine, about 45 seconds for a base generation. Polygons run 10K to 500K with 150K as the default, texture None, Color or PBR, topology Triangle or Quad.
Meshy 7
Production-grade PBR results in around 90 seconds, with a two-stage geometry then texture refine workflow. Meshy 7, released August 2026, is the default and the strongest pick for image-to-3D because it keeps the result faithful to your reference image. Ultra Mode adds finer surface detail. Polygons run 10K to 300K with 100K as the default, textures 2K or 4K. Versions 5 and 6 stay selectable.
Rodin Gen 2.5
Sculpt-level detail from Hyper3D, with five quality tiers from 4-second drafts up to about 80 seconds. Polygons run 8K to 1M with 200K as the default, HD Texture at 4096x4096.
Hunyuan 3.1 (Tencent)
Two pipelines behind a single name. Pro sets a polygon budget of 30K, 100K, 500K or 1.5M and takes about four minutes at 500K; Rapid finishes in about a minute.
Generate, Track, Download
Jobs run on the server, not in your tab, so you can start the next one and walk away.
Three Generations at Once
Up to 3 generations run at the same time, on one engine or across different ones. Running jobs are restored automatically when you come back.
Saved to Your Library
The moment generation completes, the model is saved to your library with no extra click and its own 3D-AR page is created. It opens straight into the Model Editor.
Generation Credits
Credits cover Text-to-3D and Image-to-3D combined: Free 5 one-time, Plus 20 per month, Pro 60 per month, Business custom. Downloads are always free and never touch your quota.
Library
Your command center for every published page. Models, live links and views in one searchable place.
Everything in One View
Every page you own in a single list: Base models, AI-generated creations and your own uploads. The header keeps three live stats up front: Pages, Active and Total Views.
One Row per Page
Each row pairs a model with its live page: thumbnail, title with type tag (Base, AI-Gen, Upload), inline rename, live link, Views, status badge and Updated. Gallery cards match.
Row Actions
Open live page, Copy link, Info, Share & Embed, analytics, Page Designer, Model Editor, Download and Delete. Deleting a page also permanently deletes the 3D model behind it.
Links, QR & Embed
Every row shows its public view URL with a copy button. Share & Embed puts the downloadable QR code, Copy Link and Copy Embed in a single panel.
Search, Filter & Sort
Search by page title or model name, filter by All, Active, AI-Gen, Uploaded or Base, and sort by updated, newest, title or views. Export as CSV, Excel or JSON.
Bulk Selection
Tap Select Models to tick rows or images, with Select all, Clear, and a Delete button showing the exact count. Deletion is confirmed first and cannot be undone.
Model Details & Downloads
Every model carries its full technical record, its page controls and three download profiles. Downloads are always free and unlimited, and never consume AI generations.
More Details
Open More Details from the info icon on any model card: thumbnail, name, file size and upload date, plus the linked page with QR code, live link and Analytics.
The Statistics Grid
Eight technical metrics: Vertices, Faces, Meshes, Materials, Textures and Animations, plus Normals and Tangents as a check or a cross. AI models also list their prompt and provider.
Model Actions
The card's three-dot menu holds Change Model, which replaces an uploaded .GLB in place, Live Page, Set Offline, Set Live, Report Model, and Delete, which also removes the page.
One Download Panel
Every Download button opens the same panel, with up to three profiles side by side under Size, Geometry, Textures and Your settings. Sizes are real, never estimates.
Profile: Optimized
The same file your 3D page serves: DRACO compressed geometry, WebP textures and your saved material settings applied. Usually the smallest of the three.
Original & Full Quality
Original is your upload before any processing, shown only for models whose original file was kept. Full quality has no geometry compression and every texture as PNG.
Publish & Reach Your Audience
One Save puts your page live. Share it as a link, a QR code, or an embed, with AR built in for every visitor.
Your Live 3D-AR Page
Every model gets its own 3D-AR page automatically, and a fresh upload goes live with no Save needed. Later edits stay a preview until you press Save.
AR on Mobile
On a phone, the AR button opens the native AR viewer through the camera. iOS uses Quick Look, with an optional custom .usdz up to 50 MB.
Desktop QR Flow
On desktop the AR button opens a QR popup, and scanning it starts AR on the phone. Title, text and four colors are editable in the QR Popup Editor.
Branding, Per Device
Page Designer styles the AR button, your logo in five positions, and the viewer buttons. Style desktop and mobile independently, or keep them identical with one checkbox.
Page Themes
A theme captures your whole page design for both devices. Eight built-ins ship with the Studio (Minimal, Neon, Elegant, Retro, Glass, Brutal, Azure, Cherry) and themes are account-level.
Share & Embed
The Share & Embed popup gives you the QR code with Download PNG, the public link, and the iframe Embed Code. No account needed to view a page.
Embed & Developer API
For developers. Drop a BASE viewer into any site with a copy-paste iframe, or drive the Studio from your own backend with the public REST API.
iframe Embed
Copy the Embed Code from the Share & Embed popup and paste it into any website. No build step, no dependencies.
<iframe
src="https://studio.basebros.com/view?id=YOUR_PAGE_ID"
width="100%"
height="600"
style="border:0;"
loading="lazy"
allowfullscreen
allow="camera; xr-spatial-tracking; accelerometer; gyroscope; magnetometer; fullscreen; autoplay">
</iframe>Permissions & HTTPS
The allow attribute is what makes AR work: camera, gyroscope, accelerometer and xr-spatial-tracking. Without those tokens browsers block sensor access, and AR never runs on HTTP.
Responsive & Fast
Avoid fixed pixel heights: wrap the iframe in a container with aspect-ratio: 4 / 3. Keep loading="lazy" so the 3D engine starts only when it scrolls into view.
Developer API (REST)
The public REST API is live at https://studio.basebros.com/api/v2: start generation jobs, poll status, download assets, publish or unpublish pages. GET /api/v2/status needs no auth.
API Keys & Access
API access is enabled per organization, so get in touch. Keys are shown once: bpk_live_ for production, bpk_test_ for simulation, and never run in a browser.
Webhooks & Spec
Webhooks notify your backend when a job finishes, signed per the Standard Webhooks spec (webhook-id, webhook-timestamp, webhook-signature). The machine-readable definition lives at GET /api/v2/openapi.
Plans & Quotas
How the plan system actually behaves: what a slot counts, what a generation credit costs, when quotas renew, and what changes when you switch tiers.
What Every Plan Includes
Plans differ in capacity, not capability, and each paid tier inherits everything below it. Free includes the full viewer, AR and publishing, plus a Powered by BASE badge.
Slots & Credits
Model Slots count your library, AI Gen Slots count the generated ones, and deleting a model frees its slot immediately. Running jobs reserve their credit up front.
When Quotas Renew
On paid plans, AI Generations renew monthly on your account anniversary, the day you joined. On Free they are a one-time allowance that never resets.
Refunds & Downloads
Cancelling a generation does not return the credit, since the provider is charged at submission. Provider-side failures refund automatically, and downloads are always free.
Upgrading & Billing
Choose Your Plan offers Monthly or Yearly billing, with tax included at checkout. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the paid period.
Business Tier
Business carries dedicated model and AI slots plus Custom 3D & Projects on top of Pro. It is managed by the BASE team, so it starts with Contact Us.
Analytics
Real-time visibility into how visitors find, explore and launch AR from your 3D-AR pages.
Real-Time Dashboard
The dashboard opens with 12 Quick Stats and 8 collapsible sections. Metrics include Total Views, Unique Sessions, AR Activations, 3D Interactions, QR Scans and Avg View Duration.
Traffic & Distribution
Two time-series charts plot Views and Sessions daily. The Distribution card breaks your audience into four bar charts: OS, Devices, Browsers and Locations.
Sources & Visitors
Top Referrers shows where traffic originates, beside a 7x24 activity heatmap. Visitor Insights covers New vs Returning, traffic sources (Direct, Social, Search, QR) and your top three Peak Hours.
Engagement & Duration
The engagement funnel tracks Page Views, 3D Interactions, QR Popup Opens and AR Activations. A doughnut chart splits session duration from Quick (under 30s) to Long (over 5m).
Per-Page Performance
The Page Selector switches between the All Pages aggregate and any single page. With All Pages selected, the Leaderboard ranks your top performers by views and sessions.
Ranges & Export
Date pills reshape the dashboard: All Time, 30D, 7D, 24H or Custom. PDF Export produces a landscape A4 report, and the dashboard polls for fresh data every 60 seconds.
Support & Updates
Reach the team, follow the answer, and see what is shipping next, all from inside the Studio.
Contact the Team
Questions about plans, features or partnerships go to [email protected]. Bug reports, API questions and integration help go to [email protected].
Report a Bug
Fill in a Subject, pick a Category and describe what happened. Attach up to 4 screenshots, 5MB each, and the page you were on is attached automatically.
My Reports & Messages
Every report carries a status badge: Open, In Progress, Resolved or Closed. Team replies appear underneath, and Messages works the same way for general conversations.
Announcements
A full-page timeline of Studio updates, filtered by All, New Feature, Improvement, Bug Fix, Pro Tips or Announcement. A live System Status card tracks six core systems.
On the Roadmap
Six experiences are in development: Configurator, Spaces, Material Lab, Splat Viewer, AR Try-On and 3D Engine 2.0. Release dates are not pre-announced.
