AI Pipeline

The 3D production pipeline
that scales with your catalog.

Chat3D® powers a production pipeline engineered in-house — propagating art direction across full SKU catalogs, generating variants on demand, and delivering multi-format exports ready for every downstream channel.

3D production pipeline — catalog overview with multiple product layouts

Engineered for catalogs of every size — from SKU 1 to SKU 1,000,000.

×5 faster than legacy pipelines

Brief on Monday, hero asset Friday. Same craft, a fraction of the wait.

Scales from 1 to 1M SKUs

Same pipeline whether you ingest a hero capsule or a full retail catalog.

Live within 48 hours

Plug your PIM, DAM, or CAD library and we set up your production lane.

Brand-safe AI training

Models trained on your style guide only — never shared with competitors.

Multi-format exports

glTF, USD, FBX, OBJ, WebGL, AR Quick Look — one master, every channel.

Full IP retention

Source files, derivatives, and trained models all stay yours.

A 3D workflow, redesigned by AI

Studio-grade 3D production at catalog scale. Our AI strips every non-creative step from the pipeline — data prep, retopology cleanup, validation loops — so 3D infographists stay focused on the craft.

Catalog ingested in seconds

Auto-ingest CAD, references, and product photos from your PIM, DAM, or shared drives. AI parses geometry, material specs, and brand assets — no manual file shuffling between teams.

  • Batch ingest of 12+ CAD and asset formats
  • Material specs and brand assets auto-extracted
  • Live in 48 h, from connector to hero asset

Blockout generated,
artist validates

Generative blockout from photo plus measurements. 3D infographists validate proportions in minutes instead of rebuilding from scratch in their DCC tool.

  • Proportions validated within ±2% of reference
  • Hero blockout in <10 min vs 4 h legacy
  • 80% fewer DCC round-trips for the team

Hard surface,
refined where it matters

High-poly mesh generated from the validated blockout. AI handles silhouette and base structure; the artist refines hard surfaces where it actually matters.

  • 5× faster than from-scratch modeling
  • High-poly up to 142k tris, sculpt-ready
  • Tri-budget enforced per asset, no overshoot

Detail layers,
projected from refs

Detail layers — stitching, wear, surface micro-detail — auto-projected from references. Hours saved on the repetitive part, focus kept on the hero detail.

  • Stitching, wear and noise auto-projected
  • Up to 6 h saved per asset on sculpt
  • Hero details auto-flagged for human review

Lightweight topology for every channel

Optimized topology auto-generated from the high-poly master. Each twin is sized for smooth playback on web viewers, mobile AR, and 3D commerce surfaces — without losing silhouette or product detail.

  • 4 versions per master: hero, web, mobile, AR
  • Mesh density tuned per channel for fast loads
  • Manual cleanup under 5% of the catalog

UV layout,
computed automatically

Optimal UV layout computed automatically. Zero overlap, balanced texel density, atlasing ready for downstream tools — no more 30 minutes of manual seam-picking per asset.

  • 0% UV overlap, balanced texel density
  • 30 min/asset saved vs manual seam-picking
  • Atlasing ready for any renderer or 3D viewer

Bakes that just work,
in batch

Baking pipeline runs in batch overnight. Cage, projection, edge padding, and resolution tuning — all handled, with auto-retry on the rare bake artifact.

  • 200+ assets baked overnight per worker node
  • Cage, projection and edge padding fully automated
  • Auto-retry on bake artifacts — zero manual re-runs

PBR maps,
brand-safe by default

PBR materials generated from your style guide and reference shots. Brand-safe outputs trained only on your assets — never shared with competitors or third-party catalogs.

  • 5 PBR maps generated at 4K resolution
  • Brand-safe AI trained only on your assets
  • Style-guide enforced at the material level

Self-validating,
human-reviewed when needed

Self-validating QC: topology, UVs, PBR maps, brand consistency, file size — flagged only when human review is genuinely needed. No more 50-asset batch reviews.

  • 12 QC checks run automatically on every asset
  • 95% pass rate before reaching a human reviewer
  • Full audit trail logged per asset lifecycle event

One master,
every downstream surface

Multi-format exports (glTF, USD, FBX, OBJ, WebGL, AR Quick Look) optimized per channel. One master twin, every downstream surface — web viewer, marketplace, in-store kiosk, AR experience.

  • 6 export formats from a single master twin
  • Per-channel optimization: size, LOD, AR-ready
  • Direct PIM, DAM and Shopify sync

Variant generation

Propagate art direction across SKUs in clicks.

Define your style guide once. The pipeline applies it across every variant, every colorway, every packaging mockup — automatically.

  • Generate colorways, configurations, packaging variations from a single twin master.
  • Brand consistency enforced by AI trained on your reference catalog.
  • From hero asset to long-tail SKU — no manual re-modeling.

Auto QC

AI-validate every asset, every time.

Our pipeline auto-checks topology, UVs, PBR materials, and brand consistency on every asset before it ships — so 3D infographists only review what truly matters.

  • Polycount, UV overlap, normal map orientation auto-validated.
  • Brand color drift and proportion violations flagged automatically.
  • Human review queue surfaces only edge cases — never the routine.
