For several months now, Sketchfab has announced Apps for Virtual Reality (VR) - available for Oculus, HTC Vive, Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard - and the first WebVR support on Sketchfab. These apps provide a dedicated VR experience and make Sketchfab available on multiple headsets. The apps are a curated showcase for models [...]
The analysis tool (there are very good tools for analyzing 3D configurators) of CGTrader recently had a major update. Designers on CGTrader can now access exclusive marketplace data at any time and no longer have to wonder that to create next. The only requirement for accessing this data is that at least 5 models [...]
The 3D Model Marketplace CGTrader.com (very useful to deal models for 3D configurators) has redesigned its system and added some additional features for buying and selling 3D models for 3D printing and design projects. Buyers can now bid on the selected 3D model and offer their own [...]

If you're an iPhone user , then you'll love the latest update from Instagram - 3D Touch (very useful to view 3D configurators). With this new feature, iOS users can now enjoy some extra extras that will certainly contribute to their #InstaAwesome experience. Here are three ways you can take advantage of the new [...]
For many years, light mapping has been the basis for cost-effective yet realistic lighting. In WebGL applications like 3D configurators, however, this is rarely the case, as the creation of Lightmaps requires third-party modeling applications with complex workflows to beacon textures. All this is changing today with the introduction of the Runtime Lightmap generation [...]
When creating any 3D model (for example for a 3D configurator) that represents a room, light is an element that can have a significant impact on the user experience. We use a common technique in computer graphics, called light baking, to simulate the illumination of a 3D model. [...]
3D coat is full of functionality and is well-suited to create a 3D configurator in real time. With a wide range of tools, commands, functions and workflows, 3D coat is divided into clearly defined spaces that contain all the functions needed for each phase of model development. View each room as a "mini-application" connected [...]
