AI is transforming many industries, and 3D asset management is no exception. Here at echo3D, we are leveraging AI in innovative ways to improve 3D content workflows.

Find Duplicates of 3D Models

One of the key challenges with using 3D models as a team is discovering if a similar model already exists in the organization’s asset library. This is where echo3D’s duplicate detection features come in. By analyzing 3D models for geometric and contextual similarities, echo3D can automatically detect duplicate and near-duplicate models stored on their content management system. This prevents wasted effort recreating or purchasing already existing models, saves storage space, and consolidates model libraries.

Auto-tagging of 3D Models

echo3D also uses AI for the auto-tagging of 3D models. Accurately tagging models makes them findable in search engines and catalogs. However, manually adding tags is tedious and time-consuming. echo3D’s auto-tagging analyzes 3D models and automatically suggests relevant tags. This takes the grunt work out of tagging so team members can focus on other stuff. Also, as echo3D’s system processes more models, it continuously improves its accuracy. This creates a virtuous cycle where AI used by echo3D gets smarter over time.

AI-generated Descriptions

Generating text descriptions of 3D models is another area where AI shows promise. echo3D is exploring generative language models that can automatically produce detailed text descriptions from 3D models. This would further enhance 3D content findability and accessibility.

AI-generated 3D Models

Beyond AI features, echo3D offers a free 3D model search engine for finding publicly available 3D assets. echo3D’s 3D asset library offers access to more than 800,000 free 3D models from major 3D model repositories, as well as models that were created by generative AI tools. The search will soon support filtering by model tags, file types, and more. This makes discovering and evaluating 3D models a breeze.

echo3D recently partnered with Alpha3D to add AI-generated 3D models to echo3D. Users are now able to integrate AI-generated 3D models created on Alpha3D into echo3D’s cloud-based 3D asset management platform. This powerful generative design tool helps even non-3D experts create 3D models through natural language interactions and transform both text and 2D images into 3D models. Combined with echo3D’s platform for 3D asset warehousing and content delivery, it provides an end-to-end solution for democratizing 3D creativity.
