Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use Vectary AI to a raw 3d model in .glb or .obj format, representing the core geometry of your design. Then, you pass the output to Vectary AI to a clean, lightweight, and manifold 3d mesh suitable for texturing and ar. Then, you pass the output to Vectary AI to a fully textured 3d model with realistic or stylized materials, ready for interactive use. Then, you pass the output to Vectary AI to a visually compelling scene that highlights the model's details and materials. Then, you pass the output to Vectary AI to a functional web-based configurator that lets users customize the 3d model in real time. Finally, Vectary AI is used to a live, shareable ar experience that anyone can open on their phone and interact with.

Open Vectary AI and enter a detailed text description of the object you want to create (e.g., 'a modern ergonomic office chair with metal legs and cushioned armrests'). Adjust the generation parameters (style, complexity) and run the AI model. Review the output and regenerate if needed until you have a satisfactory base mesh.
Why Vectary AI: Vectary AI is specifically designed for generating 3D models from text prompts, directly matching the step's requirement.
Import the generated model into Vectary's 3D editor. Use tools to reduce polygon count (decimation), smooth surfaces, fix any mesh errors (holes, non-manifold edges), and adjust scale to real-world proportions. Ensure the model is watertight and ready for texturing.
Why Vectary AI: Vectary AI includes a 3D editor with mesh repair and optimization tools, directly supporting geometry refinement.
Select the model's faces or entire object and use Vectary AI's texture generator to create materials (e.g., 'brushed aluminum', 'leather', 'glass'). Apply PBR (physically based rendering) maps (albedo, roughness, metallic, normal) for realism. Adjust tiling and UV mapping if needed.
Why Vectary AI: Vectary AI offers AI-assisted texture generation and a PBR material editor, exactly as needed for enhancing scenes with textures and materials.
Add an HDRI environment map or create custom lights (directional, point, ambient) in the Vectary scene. Adjust shadows, exposure, and background color to showcase the model attractively. Test the scene in both desktop and mobile preview modes.
Why Vectary AI: Vectary AI includes a scene editor with HDRI and lighting controls, directly supporting lighting and environment setup.
In Vectary, switch to the 'Configurator' mode. Define interactive parameters such as color swatches, material variants, size sliders, or toggleable parts (e.g., 'open/close lid'). Link each parameter to the corresponding model property (material, visibility, scale). Preview the configurator in a web browser and test all interactions.
Why Vectary AI: Vectary AI includes a configurator builder with UI and logic editor, directly enabling interactive AR configurator creation.
Click 'Publish' in Vectary to generate a shareable link or embed code. Enable AR mode so users can tap to view the model in their real environment via smartphone. Optionally, export the scene as a .glb file for use in other AR platforms (e.g., 8th Wall, Adobe Aero). Test the AR experience on an actual device.
Why Vectary AI: Vectary AI provides publish and AR preview tools, directly supporting deployment and sharing of AR experiences.
§ Before you start
Teams or solo builders working on 3d-design tasks who want a repeatable process instead of one-off tool experiments.
No. Start with the top pick for each step, then replace tools only if they do not fit your pricing, compliance, or output needs.
Open the mapped task page and compare top options side by side. Prioritize output quality, integration fit, and predictable cost before scaling.
