[Check out our E-Commerce demo to see how](https://youtu.be/BCd77oGRemQ?feature=shared). *** ## How We Do It Kaedim's pipeline uses a combination of machine learning and a team of in-house artists to refine outputs and guarantee a high standard of quality every time. This refinement process also trains our models to provide better outputs in the future. It's our AI x human feedback loop that results in high-quality models 10x faster than traditional modeling pipelines. Check out the [How It Works](/welcome/how-kaedim-works) section to learn more about how our technology and team work together. ## Here to Support 3D Teams

Kaedim's ultimate goal is to help 3D teams accelerate and grow their capacity to create 3D models. We have designed our product specifically with 3D artists in mind and continue to iterate based on their feedback. * **Ready to use** - Kaedim-generated 3D models are always low poly, made by quads, watertight, and separated into subparts. * **Export options** - Download your 3D model and use it in your favourite 3D modelling software. We support obj, fbx, glb, gltf, usd, and mtl formats for download. * **Direct support from our team** - We offer real-time support on our Discord community, night or day *** # How Kaedim Works A behind the scenes look at Kaedim's 3D model pipeline Kaedim's approach to generating 3D models combines our state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms with our in-house art team. Our in-house team of artists help refine our 2D to 3D reconstruction outputs and improve future AI-generated models. This guarantees users get a production-ready 3D model, every time. Today, our process provides a 10x speedup compared to traditional art outsourcing. But we're not stopping there - each month, we implement multiple improvements to our machine-learning models with the goal of automating a greater portion of the pipeline while maintaining our high-quality standards, leading to faster outputs for you and your team. ## Inputs

You can input up to 10 images to generate your model. Before making your first submission, please check our [input guidelines](/creating-assets/input-guidelines) to ensure that you receive the best possible results. {% content-ref url="/pages/nCusskRblfOh93dRw7to" %} [Input Guidelines](/creating-assets/input-guidelines) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Automated Generation

Once you've submitted your images, they'll go through a series of preprocessing steps to help our AI accurately represent them in 3D. The processed images then enter our 2D to 3D reconstruction step of the pipeline and exit as a 3D model. ## Artist Refinement

Though our 3D reconstruction technology has made large strides in producing quality models, the output isn't always perfect. Our art team verifies and cleans all outputs, making any necessary edits to ensure that you always receive a production-ready model This guarantees a great experience for our users since our outputs are of the highest quality, and it also helps improve our machine-learning models. We're gathering generations and their adjusted versions in real time, creating a feedback loop for our AI to improve itself. ## Model Download

Your model is now ready to export. Currently, we provide OBJ, OBJ (Pre-modifiers), FBX, MTL, USD, GLB, and GLTF formats. {% content-ref url="/pages/PmVBBMF3SQTp9VvHyiSk" %} [Download](/managing-assets/exporting-assets/download) {% endcontent-ref %} ## A Note on Fully Autonomous Generations

The above process is fast, but it still takes some in-house work. The Kaedim team is working towards achieving better and better 3D reconstructions, automating more and more object categories. This work is aiming towards making our software accessible to more prosumers and indie projects. We're improving our system every day and aim for a fully autonomous release in the future. Currently, we're primarily focusing on enterprise customers that have a significant need for Kaedim's large-scale production capabilities. # Get Started Start creating today.

# FAQ ## Usage

What can I do with Kaedim?

Kaedim is an AI-powered software that enables the conversion from 2D images to 3D models. This allows you to input an image (sketch, art, photo) and convert it into 3D within minutes, all with the push of a button. Our partners will download and import to their 3D modelling software of choice to polish and finalise before including it in their game or app.

How can I use Kaedim as a tool for my project?

There are two main use cases for Kaedim in projects involving 3D asset creation. The first is accelerating in-house 3D asset production. By using our AI software you can introduce a minimum 5x speedup for your 3D team. The second use case is integrating 3D UGC in your game, app, or Metaverse. With our API you can allow end-users to create in 3D by just submitting an image and populating digital worlds with zero modelling experience.

Is it a web-based platform?

Yes! You can access our software through our [Welcome](/welcome/how-kaedim-works) or via our API. We also offer ready-made plugins for your favourite software.

## Input Images

What type of objects work best?

At the moment hard surfaced objects work best. Real humans, animals, and trees are currently out of scope for Prototype assets. We recommend stylised or cartoon-like images for [Prototype assets](/creating-assets/prototype-assets). However, these types of images can be generated with [Game-ready](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets).

Do you recommend having different views of the same object for more accurate models?

It depends on the object you want to model. For basic models (e.g. a table), different views won't make a huge difference. However, for something like a dinosaur, if the side view wasn't included the algorithm wouldn't know how the tail should look like.

Should I upload each view as a separate image?

Yes, the different views should be different images.

If I were to put a cartoon effect on a photo of me (selfie) would it help with the image not getting dismissed?

Feel free to try it out! Don’t worry about losing your credit, any submission that is dismissed will result in returned credit.

What are the best practices when it comes to input images?

You can read through our input guidelines here [Input Guidelines](/creating-assets/input-guidelines).

Can you upload just 1 image?

Yes, you can upload a single input image! Our algorithms are trained to make educated guesses for all unseen parts.

What if my input is incorrect?

If your image doesn’t follow the input guidelines listed here: [Input Guidelines](/creating-assets/input-guidelines), your generation will be dismissed and the credit will be returned to your account.

Can I upload line-work sketches for converting to 3D models?

Yes, you can upload 2D sketches and line-work and turn them into 3D models! Just make sure your sketch illustrates a single object and that it's clean. You can see some examples of sketch inputs on our Instagram [here](https://www.instagram.com/kaedim3d/).

Is there a preferred image format for the input?

For the 2D image inputs, we support png, jpg, and jpeg formats

Is there a specific lens I should prefer if I am using photos as my 2D inputs?

There is no specific lens that you should be using for your input images, as long as the [Input Guidelines](/creating-assets/input-guidelines) are met. Keep in mind that if the lens distorts the object, the output 3D model will most likely follow the same distortion.

What happens if I interrupt the browser view with the message "Processing..." because I close the tab or my PC battery ran out?

No need to worry, the generation won't be affected. You can close your browser, visit your Kaedim asset library, or do whatever else you wish while waiting for your asset to complete! You can also turn on [notifications](https://staging-app.kaedim3d.com/settings?tab=notifications) via email or discord in Settings.

## Generated Output

What is your output file format(s) currently?

We currently export in .obj , .obj (pre-modifiers), .mtl, .fbx , .glb , .gltf, & .usd

Do I own the IP of the 3D models I create with Kaedim?

All the 3D models that users create with Kaedim are the users' IP, given that you are subscribed to one of our plans. You can read more about it in our Terms of Service section 3.2

Can I add colour to the generated 3D models through the Kaedim web app?

Yes! We have a colouring tool integrated into our web app which allows you to select parts of the 3D model, colour them, and save. You can then download the colored version including the .mtl format too. More on the coloring tool [here](/creating-assets/prototype-assets/manual-fill-colour).

Can I edit the 3D model I generated through the Kaedim web app?

Yes, you can edit your generated 3D model through Kaedim! If you feel that your 3D model needs to be altered, you can request an Iteration. More about requesting revisions [here](/reviewing-assets/request-revisions). Alternatively, you can download your model in your preferred format and import it into your 3D modelling software of choice to continue working on it.

Are the output 3D models textured?

Currently, all prototype models are untextured. However, we have released the Game-ready pipeline which outputs textured and rigged assets. You can read more about how it works here:[ Creating a Game-Ready Asset](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets)

Do the 3D models get generated in real dimensions?

All 3D outputs have the correct analogies to their dimensions based on the input images. Currently, users can input the desired height of their model, and the rest of the model will be parametrically scaled.

To what extent can the settings for the generated 3D model be customised?

There are 3 settings you can change before sending your 2D image for processing a Prototype Asset: the upper limit poly count, the height, and the generation quality. More details on the input settings can be found [Create Page](/creating-assets/create-page). Game-ready assets offer a higher level of customisation, which you can learn more about [here](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets).

## Accuracy and Limitation

How accurate are the 3D outputs compared to the 2D input image?

The accuracy of the generated 3D model depends on the complexity of the input image, the generation quality selected, and the poly count. For simple inputs, you can expect a really high accuracy. If the input is highly detailed, then the effect of the transition might lose some of the finer details. For these cases, you can use our higher-generation qualities ("High" and "Ultra"), as well as increase the max poly count to allow for a greater level of detail. Our game-ready pipeline further increases detail, using maps to represent fine details in the shape of the object without increasing polycount.

Are there any limitations on what inputs Kaedim can process?

Currently, our algorithms for [Prototype assets](/creating-assets/prototype-assets) do not support real humans, trees, or animals. However, they can be generated with the [Game-ready pipeline.](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets) For more on our input guidelines please visit: [Input Guidelines](/creating-assets/input-guidelines)

What is the maximum poly count I can request for my 3D model?

For prototype assets, you are welcome to use up to 300K polys. We guarantee that the number you provide will not be exceeded by more than 5%. For our game-ready pipeline, you can use a polycount of up to 2 million for the high poly sculpt step.

Can the Kaedim software capture the high detail of the items in my photos?

Our software will capture as much detail as possible from your photo. For best results when uploading detailed inputs, please select a higher generation quality and increase the max poly count. You can read more [here](/creating-assets/prototype-assets#levels-of-quality).

Does Kaedim generate UVs? Are the models automatically unwrapped and ready for texturing?

Currently, UV unwrapping is included within the texturing stage of the [Game-ready pipeline](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets).

## Iterations

How many revisions can I request per model?

As many as you want, so long as you have enough credits. However, we usually recommend reaching out to us if you are still not happy with your model after one or two iterations:

Is iteration a manual process on Kaedim's end?

Yes, iteration is a manual process on our side. With the help of customer feedback, we were able to create a win-win situation where: A) You get any faults fixed B) We integrate feedback into our algorithms to continually enhance their performance

How much time does it take for the revision to be completed?

There is no guarantee as to how long an iteration takes. For simpler revisions, this might only take a few minutes. More complex revisions may take longer.

# Create Page {% embed url="" %} The Create page is where you upload your requests by clicking the + Create tab on the web app's navigation bar. It can also be found at . Different asset types will have different settings to configure. Check out our guides on how to configure settings for [**Game-ready**](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets)**,** [**Prototype**](/creating-assets/prototype-assets)**,** and [**Upload a 3D Model**](/creating-assets/upload-a-3d-model)**.** ## How It Works ### Upload your files

#### Image If you have multiple views of your object, you can upload up to ten images. {% hint style="info" %} We automatically remove the background of your image. {% endhint %} #### Models * Base model: Base models will be used as a starting point for your asset. This is best used for accessories (base model can be a character), hair, clothing, etc. * Block model: Block models will be used as a reference for scale and is helpful if you need specific dimensions for your generation. *The uploaded block model will not be included in your final export.* ### Describe your asset

#### Height, Width, Depth If you require your models to maintain a specific scale, simply input the height, width, and depth of your model. {% hint style="info" %} Dimensions are not available for the Scene asset type, and you can only configure the **height** for Prototype assets. {% endhint %} #### Tags Tags can be used for organizing your assets in [folders](/groups) later on and is helpful for categorizing your assets. Each asset type will have settings that you can customize under the 'Configure Settings' section. {% hint style="info" %} For more information about all the settings you can configure, check out the [**Game-Ready Assets**](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets) section. {% endhint %}

## Autosaved Drafts {% embed url="" %} Autosaved Drafts demo {% endembed %} Whenever you create a new asset in the Create page, drafts will be autosaved. * Auto-saved draft will be created for every session, and be updated after every action * Auto-saved drafts will be emptied after submitting the generation, or after 3 days have passed

Several drafts will be saved per session, depending on the number of actions you take.

## Create New Asset

You can generate multiple assets simultaneously by clicking the **Create New Asset** button. Each asset will be created separately, allowing you to configure its settings individually.

## Create Multiple Assets

The **Create Multiple Assets** button functions like a batch upload, allowing you to upload multiple images at once. Each image will generate a separate, individually configurable asset. ## Select Multiple (Edit Multiple Assets)

To edit the settings for multiple assets at once, click the **Select multiple** button and select the assets you'd like to edit. Once you've adjusted the settings, click the **Apply Changes** button to save them for all selected assets.

When you're satisfied with all inputs and generation settings, click "**Generate assets**" to start processing your assets.

## What Happens Next? Your asset will start processing, and you can continue creating assets or leave the tab. Your asset will continue processing even if you close the tab. {% hint style="info" %} Learn more about processing times for: * [Prototype assets](/creating-assets/prototype-assets#processing-time) * [Game ready assets](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets#processing-times) {% endhint %} All generated 3D models pass through our Quality Control pipeline. Depending on the model, this might involve our human QC team in order to ensure the generation meets our quality standards. {% hint style="info" %} You can submit more than one generation without waiting for the first one to complete. {% endhint %} # Generate Image With our latest text to 2D feature, you can seamlessly go from an idea to a 2D image that you like and transform it into 3D, all within the Kaedim platform. On the Create page, describe the image you want to generate in the text box and click "*Generate Image."*

{% hint style="info" %} Generating images do **not** cost any credits. {% endhint %}

You will notice your image is generated without a background, this is so our software can easily convert the 2D image into a 3D object.

If you are not satisfied with the generated image, you can rewrite your prompt or click "Regenerate Image" to get another variation of your generated prompt.

{% hint style="info" %} If you change your mind and want to upload images instead, simply delete your generated image using the trash icon. {% endhint %} Once you are happy with your generated image, you can then fill in the rest of the Generation Settings (Name, Max poly count, Height, and Generation Quality) and click "Generate."

If you'd like to save the image for a later generation instead, click the bookmark icon.

Your generated image will be saved in your Assets page. When you click on the image in the Assets page, you will be directed back to the Create page with the generated image as the input image. {% hint style="info" %} For this feature, we are using[ OpenAI’s DALLE](https://openai.com/dall-e-3). {% endhint %} # Polycount ## What is a polycount? {% embed url="" %} Polycounts refer to the number of polygons or triangles that make up your 3D model. The polycount is a measure of the detail and complexity of a 3D model. For standard requests, the default polycount is 30,000. This default varies depending on the generation quality selected. We support polycount ranges from as low as 500 up to 300,000 for Prototype assets. For Game-ready assets, we support polycount ranges from 500 to 2,000,000. {% hint style="info" %} When selecting the number of polygons, keep in mind that it will also determine the object's level of detail. {% endhint %}

Setting a low polycount for highly detailed images can result in loss of detail. If you'd like to further optimise polycount without losing detail, get in touch with us about setting up a custom style. ## How many polys should my 3D model be? While the default value for prototype assets is 30,000 your needs might require a different polycount. Less polygons means a smaller file size and less processing power to render those 3D objects. * For mobile and casual games, we recommend lower polycounts (e.g. 5,000 - 20,000) * For AA games, AAA games, or e-commerce, we recommend higher polycounts (e.g. 50,000 - 100,000) Generated 3D models will not exceed the inputted polycount by more than 5%. Please note that if you set a low polycount (e.g. 3,000) details might be excluded. In addition to increasing the polycount, we offer more ways to capture more detail in your generations: * Choose a higher [level of quality](/creating-assets/prototype-assets#levels-of-quality) - Depending on the complexity of your input image, "High" or "Ultra" will work best for capturing more detail. * Create with the [Game-ready pipeline](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets) - The Game-ready pipeline offers high poly geometry, optimised geometry, texturing, rigging, and LoDs. The normal maps from the high poly geometry will be baked onto the optimised geometry - meaning you can have a highly detailed asset while still maintaining a low polycount. # Input Guidelines Asset Creation Guidelines {% embed url="" %} In order to get the most out of your Kaedim generations, we have some guidelines on the types of images we accept for processing, as well as information about images that are not suitable for model generation. We have different [asset types ](/creating-assets/asset-types)to choose from, and you can find the guidelines for each type below. ## General Checklist #### ✅ Single object * Please make sure your image(s) show a single object. * Requests of scenes involving multiple objects will be dismissed for Prototype assets. * If your character has a lot of armour and accessories, the armour and accessories should be passed as a separate request from the character itself. Learn more at [Characters](/creating-assets/input-guidelines/input-image-examples/characters) * When using multiple images, they **must** all be of the same object but from different angles. See our [input image examples](/creating-assets/input-guidelines/input-image-examples) to learn more. #### ✅ Clear background Your object needs to be clearly distinguishable from the background. Learn more at[Input Image Examples](/creating-assets/input-guidelines/input-image-examples) #### ✅ Photo/Art/Sketch Your 2D input can be a photo of an object (within guidelines, see below), a piece of concept art, or a sketch (pencil, pen, or paper). #### ✅ Clear The object should be clearly visible in the foreground of the image. Avoid blurry images. ## Recommended #### ✔️ **Orthographic views** Straight-on views of the front, sides, back, top, and bottom are recommended. See more examples in[Input Image Examples](/creating-assets/input-guidelines/input-image-examples). *** ## Can only be processed through Game-Ready Pipeline These assets require higher detail and can only be processed through the [Game-Ready Pipeline](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets). ### Hero Assets Complex characters that have many clothes/accessories. Learn more at [Characters](/creating-assets/input-guidelines/input-image-examples/characters) ### Real animals Realistic animals that have fur or high-detail textures ### Foliage Realistic and complex foliage *** ## Invalid and Tricky Inputs Images that do not adhere to our input image guidelines may be dismissed, along with the following: ### ❌ Inappropriate imagery This includes any nude or sexual content, offensive imagery, blood and gore, etc. Any images of this type will be automatically dismissed. ### ⚠️ Text Since text is not inherently a 3D object, it may not be processed. However, if the image primarily features an object with some lettering on it, that should be acceptable. ### ⚠️ Multiple objects in one image Our focus is on creating individual objects. If you submit an image with multiple objects, it likely won't be processed. If you have multiple objects, separate them and pass them as individual requests. {% hint style="info" %} If you'd like to generate multiple objects within a scene, you can do so with[ Scene functionality](/enterprise-features/scene-functionality) (available for Enterprise). {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} Please refrain from uploading any inputs that contain personal information or identifiable details such as passports, ID cards, or addresses. {% endhint %} # Input Image Examples In this section, we have examples for common inputs sorted by category.

### Inputs to Avoid The input image should not illustrate the character in a complex pose ⬇️

The input image should not illustrate the character holding accessories like weapons ⬇️

The input image should not illustrate a human or hyper-realistic human ⬇️

{% hint style="danger" %} Note: if your input gets dismissed with the reason "Too complex", it means that the level of quality is too low to capture all the detail. Try a higher Generation Quality to avoid dismissal. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} Realistic humans can be generated with the [Game-ready pipeline](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets). {% endhint %} ## **Characters with Accessories and Armor** Let's cover best practices to generate a "hero" asset that may be tagged as "multiple objects" when trying to generate on the web app.

First, you need to separate armor and weapons (when applicable). Then pass each object as its own request. This allows you to generate each accessory individually, avoiding the generation being dismissed for too many objects. For example:

Second, you need to generate the 3D model of your character which includes the hero's body, shape, and facial features. Once your character model and all separate armour/weapons have been generated, you can then download each asset in your preferred format and use a 3D modelling software (such as Blender) to assemble them. To combine the armor and weapons with the character model, you will need to use Blender’s tools for positioning, scaling, and rotating. This allows you to place each piece of armor and each weapon in the correct position relative to the character’s body. Once you have positioned all of the armor and weapons, you can use Blender to export the final hero asset as an FBX file. This file can then be imported into your game engine (or other media software) for use in your project. {% hint style="info" %} We suggest using the [Game-ready pipeline](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets) to create complex hero assets that require a higher level of quality. {% endhint %} ### Output Examples Below, you can see the differences between the three generation qualities. Standard will create the basic shapes of your input image, and may exclude details. If your character has many accessories, please opt for High or Ultra.

# Game-Ready Assets | [What is a Game-ready asset?](#what-is-a-game-ready-asset) | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Game-ready vs. Game-ready with rig](#game-ready-vs.-game-ready-with-rig) | | [Generation Settings](#generation-settings) | | [Processing Times](#processing-times) | | [Upload Base Model](#upload-base-model) | | [Stages of a Game-ready Asset](#stages-of-a-game-ready-asset) |

Each stage of the game-ready pipeline is processed in sequence. After each step has completed, you'll be able to request revisions free of charge before approving your asset to the next step. ## What is a Game-Ready Asset? A Game-ready asset is a highly detailed 3D character or prop that is optimised, textured and, if needed, rigged. The normal maps from the high poly geometry will be baked onto the optimised geometry during the texturing stage. Game-ready assets also come with [LoDs (Levels of Detail)](#levels-of-detail-lods), which are lower poly count versions of your asset. *** ## Game-ready vs. Game-ready with Rig We recommend selecting **Game-ready** for**:** * Static props, AKA props that don't need to animate or be interacted with * Buildings and modular assets * Background props We recommend selecting **Game-ready with Rig** for**:** * Characters * Dynamic props, AKA props that need to be animated or can be interacted with, such as vehicles and guns *** ## Describe your asset Prior to generating your asset, you will be able to configure the settings for your asset.

### Dimensions You can customize height, width, and depth for Game-ready assets. This ensures that your 3D models will be properly scaled. ### Tags You can apply tags to your asset to help you categorize and filter your asset for easy searching in the Assets page. ### Markups The Markup tool lets you visually communicate specific modeling requirements directly on your input images. Learn more about Markups [here](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets/markups). ### Art Specifications You can further customize your asset by adding additional notes to specify your asset's art style or any technical requirements. \ \ Art specifications can describe aspects in your asset that may be difficult to convey in your concept art. Example: `Details are not needed for back/bottom parts of the asset.` ### Tech Specifications Technical specifications can be notes relating to how your asset is generated. Example: `Topology should be most dense in the hair, pivot point should be at the bottom of the model.` *** ## Configure Settings When creating your asset, you are able to select and deselect any of the stages if you'd like to skip it (excluding Optimized Geometry). Generation settings for Game-ready assets will include fields for texturing, rigging, and LODs. If you'd like to skip a step, simply turn the toggle off for that stage.

### High Poly Geometry High Poly Geometry is the first step of the Game-ready pipeline. The high poly model will be used to bake normal maps onto your optimised geometry. Since these models are highly detailed, the polycount can go up to 2,000,000. {% hint style="info" %} This step is optional, and can be skipped by switching the toggle off. {% endhint %}

### Optimized Geometry The Optimized Geometry stage significantly lowers your asset's polycount to ensure smooth implementation into game engines and other applications. * **LoD0 Target Tris Count** - This will determine your optimized geometry's first Level of Detail. * **Pivot point** - The pivot point options allow you to change the point of reference for rotations, scaling, and transformations. Pivot points give you more control over how objects behave in your scene once exported. * **Asset pose** - If you'd like your character to be posed a certain way, you can choose between: * **Image pose** - the output will follow how your character is posed in your input image * **T-pose** - your character will outputted in T-pose * **A-pose** - your character will be outputted in A-pose * **Hair type** - Choose your character's hair type from the dropdown menu: * **Hair Cards** (AKA alpha cards): Ideal for real-time rendering. * **Sculpted Hair**: Best for non-real-time applications, allowing for complex geometry. * **Topology requirements** - You can choose between "Quads only" and "Allow tris for optimization." This will determine your asset's topology. * We suggest: * **Quads only** if you'd like to edit your asset after the optimized geometry has completed. * **Allow tris for optimization** if you will not be editing your model outside of Kaedim, and exporting the finished asset directly into your game or project. * **Separate meshes** - You can choose to keep your meshes separate or have them joined during the Optimized Geometry stage. You can also include details on how you'd like to separate them (e.g. Separate meshes by material)

{% hint style="info" %} This step is **required,** because the Optimized Geometry, or LOD0, is used as the base geometry for the following steps. {% endhint %} ### UV Unwrapping * **UV preset** - You are able to choose between the Kaedim default or presets you have given us to integrate for your generations. * **Number of UVs** - This will determine the number of UVs your asset will have. We recommend increasing the number of UVs depending on how many separate textures and materials your asset will have. For example, a character may have clothes, accessories, and hair that may require separate UVs. * **How do you want them separated?** - Please describe how you'd like your UVs separated to ensure the best optimisation for texturing. * **UDIMs (U-Dimension)** - You can choose to enable or disable UDIMs for your asset's textures. * **Auto approve** - You have the option to automatically approve the UV step and proceed directly to texturing, eliminating the need for manual approval between steps.

### Texture * **Texture style**- We have 4 default options to choose from: PBR, Hand-painted, Vertex Colouring, and Photorealistic. If you'd like to use your in-house texture library, please get in touch with us. * **Texture maps -** Under this dropdown, you will be able to choose which texture maps to include for your textured asset. * Texture maps included are: * DirectX Normal Maps or OpenGL Normal Maps * Albedo/Diffuse * Specular/Glossiness * Roughness/Metalness * Ambient Occlusion * Displacement * Emissive * **Texture resolution -** Texture resolution refers to the pixel dimensions of each individual texture image file (e.g. 1024x1024, 2048x2048, 4096x4096 etc.) * **Texture export -** For exporting textures, you can choose between baking textures directly onto your asset or exporting the textures separately. * **Attach image -** Here you can upload a reference image for your asset's textures. This will help in identifying different textures that will be applied to specific parts of your asset.

### Rigging {% hint style="info" %} This step is only available within the **Game-ready with Rig** asset type. {% endhint %} * **Rig template -** The Kaedim default will rig your asset according to its type. You also have the option to use your own in-house rig templates. If you'd like to add your existing rig templates for your assets, [get in touch with us](https://www.kaedim3d.com/contactUs?subject=Enterprise). * **Facial rig** - If you are creating a 3D character, you can choose to add a facial rig by checking the box. * **Describe your rig** - If you have specifications for your rig, you can include them here. For rigged props, you can describe which parts will move and how they will move.

### LoDs LoDs create lower polycount versions of your asset for optimization. Under the LoDs tab, you can create up to 3 LoDs at different polycounts.\ \ You can input either a target polycount value or a percentage value that derives from the polycount of the optimized geometry to generate your LoDs. Click "Add another" to define settings for additional LoDs.

### Save Configuration After you've configured the settings, you can save it for future generations by checking the box next to "Save current configuration."

The saved configuration will be found under the "Custom" section.

2. **Click and drag** to start a shape, then **click to add points**. **Click on the starting point** to close the shape.

2. **Select a type**: * High polycount * Low polycount * Alpha cards * Custom note (add any instructions)

5. **Optional:** Add notes to any markup.

6. **Save** your markups.

{% hint style="info" %} You can add multiple markups per image, and apply markups to multiple uploaded images. {% endhint %} # Upload Base Model {% embed url="" %} Learn how to upload a base model {% endembed %} Base models act as a guide for accessory, clothing, or even hair assets. Once your asset has finished generating, it will be placed on the base model with the correct scale and proportions.

{% hint style="info" %} Uploading a base model is optional. {% endhint %} ### How to create an asset with a base model To generate an asset with a base model, upload an image in the image upload box and upload an FBX file of up to 50mb in the "Base Model" upload box.

Your previously uploaded base models will auto-populate in the dropdown for easy access. {% hint style="info" %} To view your base model in a 3D viewer, simply hover over the uploaded model and click the zoom icon, as seen below: {% endhint %}

Your generated asset will be placed on your base model to help you ensure that proportions and scaling are to your liking.

# Block Models Block models can be batch uploaded to determine dimensions for your generations. When generating an asset, you can select a block model to be used from your uploaded library of models. The selected block model will act as a guide for meshes to be constructed within the geometry of that block model. This ensures that your generations are at the correct scale. The finished model will contain the final asset without the block model. # Stages of a Game-Ready Asset The Game-Ready pipeline has 6 different stages to ensure your asset is prepared for implementation into your game once it is completed. At every stage, you have the opportunity to review and request revisions, giving you full control over your asset throughout the entire process. ### High Poly Geometry

The first step of the pipeline is high poly geometry. This version of your asset can reach up to 2,000,000 polys, which allows for a highly detailed sculpt. This provides the normal maps to bake onto your optimised asset. ### Optimised Geometry

The optimised geometry step provides a version of your asset that has a lower polycount, ensuring smoother and faster implementation into your games. The maximum polycount for this stage is 300,000. This optimised version features clean topology that allows for the subsequent stages - texturing and rigging. ### UV Unwrapping

Your asset's UV map is a 2D representation of the surface of your 3D model. The UV Unwrapping step ensures efficient use of texture space, allowing for textures to be accurately applied to your 3D model. ### Texturing

Our Texturing feature outputs high quality textures in a variety of styles. During the texturing stage, normal maps will be baked onto your asset from the high poly geometry step. {% hint style="info" %} Our new texturing feature outputs a significant improvement from our Texturing BETA release. {% endhint %} After geometry is approved, your model will start the texturing process. You can use our default materials or import your own material library. Normal maps from the sculpt will be baked onto the optimised model during this step as well. The texture maps included are: * DirectX Normal Maps or OpenGL Normal Maps * Albedo/Diffuse * Specular/Glossiness * Roughness/Metalness * Emissive ### Texturing Styles #### Stylised PBR (Physically Based Rendering)

Stylised PBR Texturing provides non-photorealistic, stylised textures that still utilise the principles of PBR. This allows for realistic lighting and material properties while maintaining an artistic, hand-painted look. #### Hand-painted

The hand-painted texture style is a stylided PBR approach that uses different maps to create a vibrant, cartoon-like look. #### Photorealistic

Realistic PBR texturing involves creating highly detailed and accurate texture maps that mimic real-world material properties when used with a PBR rendering pipeline. #### Custom Texturing In addition to the Kaedim default texturing styles, you are also able to incorporate your in-house textures and materials for your generated assets. Please reach out to us if you'd like to use your own custom library. ### Rigging

Rigging involves creating a hierarchical system of bones/joints that act as the internal skeleton for a 3D character or object model. This skeleton is bound to the 3D mesh, allowing the vertices of the mesh to deform naturally as the bones are rotated and translated. The rigging step provides a ready-to-use rig that enables you to animate all parts of your asset. This step can be completed with the Kaedim default rig or your own, in-house rig templates. ### Levels of Detail (LoDs)

With our LoDs feature, you can create multiple lower-resolution versions of your generated model. This feature allows you to create multiple versions of your model at lower polycounts to ensure optimisation for any platform. {% hint style="info" %} Our new LoDs feature outputs a significant improvement from our LoDs BETA release. {% endhint %} Once you click submit, your LoDs will start generating. Once the LoDs have finished generating, you will be able to download the LOD stage, and you can find all versions within one file. {% hint style="info" %} Learn how to export your asset [here](/managing-assets/exporting-assets/download). {% endhint %} # Prototype Assets

Prototype assets output **only** 3D geometry. Once finished, you will be able to [request revisions](/reviewing-assets/request-revisions), [upgrade the quality](/reviewing-assets/request-revisions#upgrade-quality), [use the fill colour tool](/creating-assets/prototype-assets/manual-fill-colour) to add colour to your model, and [upgrade to game-ready ](/creating-assets/prototype-assets/upgrade-to-game-ready)to add textures and rigs.

| [Generation Settings](#generation-settings) | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Levels of Quality](#levels-of-quality) | | [Processing Time](#processing-time) | | [Manual Fill Colour](/creating-assets/prototype-assets/manual-fill-colour) | | [Upgrade to Game-Ready](/creating-assets/prototype-assets/upgrade-to-game-ready) | ## Generation Settings ### Dimensions You can set the height of your asset here. Width and depth will be scaled proportionally.

### Tags You can apply tags to your asset to help you categorize and filter your asset for easy searching in the Assets page.

### Level of Quality We offer 3 levels of quality for Prototype assets: Standard, High, and Ultra. The level of quality you choose will determine how much detail is captured in your 3D asset. The recommended generation quality depends on the complexity of your model. Simple models can be created using the "Standard" option. If you have a more complex model, or would prefer a higher-detailed generation, select "High" or "Ultra".

Click on "*Compare qualities"* to open a pop-up with 3D viewers for each of the different quality levels.

### Max Polycount The max polycount determines the density of your polygons and the amount of detail that will be captured.

*** ## Quality Level Examples ### Standard Quality Standard has a base poly count setting of 30,000. This quality level will capture the silhouette of your model and basic details. This quality may not be ale to capture more intricate detailing. We recommend using this quality level for small props or environment assets.

### High Quality High has a base poly count setting of 100,000 polys. This is best for more intricate models that require finer detail.

### Ultra Quality Ultra has a base poly count setting of 300,000 polys. This works best for complex models that need to capture the most detail possible, such as small details and beveled edges. {% hint style="info" %} If you'd like to create a textured, rigged, and optimised hero character or a key asset, we recommend using the [Game-ready pipeline.](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets) {% endhint %}

*** ## Comparing the Levels of Quality

Hard Surface model - Standard / High / Ultra

{% hint style="info" %} If you'd like to texture your Prototype asset and have access to the Game-Ready Pipeline, you can do so by [Upgrading your asset to Game-Ready](/creating-assets/prototype-assets/upgrade-to-game-ready). {% endhint %} *** ## Processing Time The processing time on your 3D generations can vary depending on generation quality:

Quality	Priority 1	No priority
Standard	~ 20 min.	~6hr
High	~ 40 min.	~12hr
Ultra	~ 80 min.	~24hr

{% hint style="info" %} Generation times can also vary depending on how busy the platform is. {% endhint %} # Manual Fill Colour {% hint style="info" %} Only available for Prototype assets. {% endhint %} {% embed url="" %} See how Manual Fill Colour works {% endembed %}

Once you reach the texturing stage for a Prototype asset, you will have the option to use the Fill Colour tool to colour your asset. Once you click on "Manual fill colour," the fill colour tool will open up on the left panel. Here, you can apply colours to each of your model's meshes.

These assets will have different generation settings. All Kaedim models are guaranteed: * Made with quads * Watertight * Clean topology * Separate meshes ### Prototype

Prototype assets are perfect are perfect for blockouts and provide a good starting point for your game characters and environment assets. The clean quad topology makes them easy to edit, build upon, or add directly into your game. {% hint style="info" %} Learn how to [create a prototype asset.](/creating-assets/prototype-assets) {% endhint %} ### Game-ready

This asset type provides fully textured, high quality props that you can add directly into your game. This asset type does not include the rigging step, and is best for static props and background assets. We offer two styles for texturing: PBR and hand-painted. Customisation options are available if you have your own in-house texture library. **What's included:** * High poly geometry * Optimised geometry * Texturing * LoDs {% hint style="info" %} Learn how to [create a game-ready asset.](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets) {% endhint %} ### Game-ready with rig

This asset type provides fully textured and rigged characters that you can edit at any stage of the pipeline. You are able to request revisions at any stage in the process. For example, you can request revisions for textures, rigs, LODs, etc. If you have in-house rig templates, we are able to integrate it into the app for your generations. **What's included:** * High poly geometry * Optimised geometry * Texturing * Rigging * LODs {% hint style="info" %} Learn how to [create a game-ready asset.](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets) {% endhint %} ### Scene

Scenes give you the ability to generate multiple objects at once. Simply upload an image of your scene, and Kaedim will automatically identify the different objects, generate them, and place them in the correct positions. {% hint style="info" %} Learn how to [create a scene.](/enterprise-features/scene-functionality) {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} Game-ready props and Game-ready characters are currently only available for Pro and Enterprise plans. Scenes are only available for Enterprise. {% endhint %} ### Upload 3D Model

To upload your 3D model, make sure it is in an FBX file format and is under 50MB. Uploading your model gives you the ability to use Kaedim's suite of tools on any of your existing models. {% hint style="info" %} Learn how to[ upload a 3D model.](/creating-assets/upload-a-3d-model) {% endhint %} # Upload a 3D Model ### What is the purpose of uploading a 3D model to Kaedim? The upload functionality allows you to import your own 3D models into our platform. This allows you to request revisions on your own existing 3D models. *** ### How it works

Once your model has been uploaded, you can mark whether or not your model is textured. {% hint style="info" %} You can upload an FBX file up to 50MB. Please note that topology will **not** be reworked for uploaded models. {% endhint %}

# 3D Viewer The 3D viewers give you the ability to compare the different versions of your asset. {% embed url="" %} Learn how to use the 3D viewers {% endembed %} ### 3D Model Viewer The central panel displays the current state of the 3D asset. * **Interactive controls** allow you to rotate, zoom, and pan the model. * **View mode toggles** in the top-right of the viewer let you switch between: * Dimensions view * Wireframe overlay * Shaded or material preview ### Drag and drop On the right, you'll see which versions of your asset you have selected. You are also able to drag and drop different versions onto the panels to view them in the 3D viewer.

### Step Action Menu

Accessed by clicking the **ellipses (⋯)** icon next to any step. * From here, you may: * **Delete** the latest eligible step (if it is in “For Review” or “Finished Processing” status) * **Cancel** a generation (if the status is “In Queue”) * **Share** your asset with a shareable link to the specific step for external viewing > 🔒 Some options may be disabled based on the step's position or state. # Lighting/Display Options The 3D Viewer includes several lighting and display controls to help you inspect your assets under different conditions. These settings are purely for visualization and do not modify your model or textures. {% embed url="" %} ## Lighting Presets Choose from multiple environment lighting presets to preview your model under different lighting conditions. Available presets: * **Studio** – Neutral lighting for general inspection. * **Forest** – Soft outdoor lighting with natural ambient light. * **Panorama** – Bright, evenly lit environment for evaluating materials. * **Warehouse** – High-contrast lighting that makes surface details and normals easier to inspect. Different lighting environments can reveal details that may be less visible under other conditions, making it easier to review geometry, materials, and normal maps.

## Rotate Environment Lighting You can rotate the environment lighting to view your model from different lighting angles. **Shortcut** * **Windows:** `Alt + Left Click + Drag` * **macOS:** `Option + Click + Drag` This allows you to inspect how lighting interacts with different parts of the model without rotating the asset itself.

*** ## Background Mode Switch between light and dark backgrounds depending on your preference or the asset you're reviewing. Available options: * **Light Background** * **Dark Background** Different backgrounds can improve visibility depending on the colors and materials of your model.

*** ## Normal Map Display Preview your normal maps using either of the two common rendering conventions: * **OpenGL** * **DirectX** This helps verify that your normal maps appear correctly for your target engine or workflow.

> **Note:** If your normal map appears inverted or surface details look incorrect, try switching between OpenGL and DirectX modes. *** ## Tips * Use **Warehouse** lighting when checking surface detail and normal maps. * Rotate the environment lighting to inspect reflections and subtle material changes. * Switch between light and dark backgrounds when reviewing assets with very bright or very dark textures. # Outliner The outliner lets you view each individual mesh of your model. You can also toggle visibility and enable transparency for specific parts, making detailed reviews easier and more efficient.

# Geometry Details Located in the top center of the interface. Displays real-time statistics of the current 3D mesh: * **Objects**: Number of distinct mesh objects * **Edges**: Total edge count * **Vertices**: Number of vertex points * **Faces**: Polygon face count * **Tris**: Total triangle count (converted from faces

# Select Meshes You can select the separate meshes of your asset to see its number of edges, vertices, faces, and tris by simply clicking on a mesh. Selected meshes will be highlighted as seen below, and you can view their details in the top left of the 3D viewer.

# Model Views

We offer 3 mesh view options within the 3D viewer: * Wireframe view * Transparent wireframe view * Gray material view

# Show Rig

So long as your rig has finished processing, you will be able to view it at any time using the "Show rig" button. You will be able see a preview of the bones included in your rig.

This allows you to compare your feedback to the revised asset. {% hint style="info" %} You can click and drag any version under the History tab onto the [3D viewers](/reviewing-assets/3d-viewer) to open it in that viewer. {% endhint %} In this example, you can see that "Texture revision 1" is open on the left panel and "Texture revision request 1" (which contains the annotated image and text feedback from the revision request) is open on the right panel.

# Upload Version (Game-Ready)

You can upload a new version of your model at any stage using the "Upload version" button. The uploaded model will create a new version of your asset **in its current stage.** When you click the button, an upload box will appear where you can upload an FBX file up to 50MB.

Once you've uploaded your model, a pop-up will appear on the right to confirm.

After confirming, a new version of your asset will show up under the current stage. # Branching Kaedim’s **Branching** feature lets you create alternate versions of any asset without affecting the original. Whether you're testing different textures, trying multiple silhouettes, or exploring alternate design directions, branches give you full creative freedom while maintaining a clean production pipeline. {% embed url="" %} ## How It Works #### 1. Create a Branch * Navigate to the asset you want to branch. * Click the **“Create Branch”** button.

* Optionally name your branch (e.g., “stylized-version”, “sci-fi-variant”). In this popup, you can also switch the stage you'd like to branch from.

#### 2. Edit the Branch * Once branched, the asset becomes editable independently. * Every asset branch you create will have a branch icon next to its name. * You can modify geometry, materials, textures, UVs, etc. depending on the stage you branched from. * Each branch retains a full history of edits and stages, just like the original.

# Asset Status In the Assets page, you will be able to see real-time updates for all of your assets. There are four stages: ### 1. Processing

A processing stage is a work in progress. This means that your request has been received and is going through the generation and quality check process. ### 2. For Review

Once your asset has finished processing, you will be able to review it. In the review stage, you can [request revisions](/reviewing-assets/request-revisions#request-revisions-for-prototype-assets), upload a new version, or approve the stage. ### 3. Completed

The "Completed" status indicates that an asset's stage has been approved or the asset has finished all the steps of the pipeline. Once you've approved your asset, it will be marked "Approved" until you start processing the next step. After approval, the "Process \[Next step]" button will have a countdown. You can cancel this by clicking "Back," or skip the countdown by clicking on the button again. Otherwise, the next stage will be processed automatically.

If your asset has finished all the steps, you will have the option to create a new asset or Download the final asset.

### 4. Generation Failed

The "Failed" status indicates that your generation has been dismissed. The reason for dismissal will be displayed in one of the panels of your asset:

Scenes are generations with multiple objects. The objects will be generated in the correct scale and position as shown in your input image.

{% hint style="info" %} To find out more about input guidelines for scenes, see [here](/creating-assets/input-guidelines#scenes-enterprise). {% endhint %} ## Creating a Scene ### Upload an image

You can only upload a single image of your scene. To learn more about scene input image guidelines, see [here](/creating-assets/input-guidelines/input-image-examples/scenes). ### Marking objects After you've uploaded your image, the background will be removed and the objects within the scene will be marked automatically. Object markers will be color coded, as seen below. You can also delete markers by clicking on the trash icon on the right.

If some objects were missed, you can mark them manually by clicking and dragging your cursor across the object. You will see a selection box (see below).

Once you have created a box, you can then click "Mark as object." You will then see a new object added onto the list on the right.

{% hint style="info" %} Learn more about input guidelines for scenes [here](/creating-assets/input-guidelines#scenes). {% endhint %} *** ### Choosing a quality After selecting objects for generation, choose a quality level in the sidebar. You can also set a max polycount here.

Scene construction is included at no extra cost and each object in the scene is generated at the selected level of quality. For example, if you have marked 4 objects and you choose High quality (2 credits), your scene would cost 8 credits. *** ### Input image guidelines ### Checklist #### ✅ Under 20 objects * Please make sure to keep scenes at a maximum of 20 objects. * This ensures that all objects are **clear and visible** within the image. #### ✅ Clear background - Your objects need to be clearly distinguishable from the background. #### ✅ Photo/Art/Sketch - Your 2D input can be a photo of your scene (within guidelines, see below), a piece of concept art, or a sketch (pencil, pen, or paper). #### ✅ Clear - The object should be clearly visible in the foreground of the image. Avoid blurry images. *** ### Invalid and Tricky Inputs Below are some examples of image requests that may not be processed: #### ❌ Hidden objects If many objects are hidden or partially hidden, your request may be dismissed. #### ❌ Inappropriate imagery This includes any nude or sexual content, offensive imagery, blood and gore, etc. Any images of this type will be automatically dismissed. **Feel free to experiment with various inputs.

We've also created a simple React app implementation on GitHub to help people with a quicker/easier implementation. Link here: ## Credentials To use the Kaedim API, you will need a devID, an API-key, and a refresh token. If you are part of a studio, you will also need to provide a studioID with some API requests. You can find all three of these by logging in to the web app at [https://app.kaedim3d.com](https://app.kaedim3d.com/) and navigating to Settings > API Keys. There you should be able to see all the necessary info. If your keys are not working for any reason, don’t hesitate to contact us at . {% hint style="info" %} API Access is reserved for Enterprise customers. {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} Please note that clicking Copy on API Key, Kaedim Secret and Refresh Token, generates new values for these fields, making their previous values invalid! {% endhint %} ## Step 1: Registering a webhook To register a webhook endpoint you will need your API key and developer ID. Both of these can be found under your user settings page in the Kaedim app. * Your API key should always be provided in the X-API-Key Header in your requests. ### Parameters

Name	Requirement	Section	Type	Description
X-API-Key	Required	Head	String	User API key used to authenticate requests
devID	Required	Body	String	Your developer ID
destination	Required	Body	String	Your webhook endpoint url

{% hint style="info" %} Please note that the following code is *Node.js* {% endhint %} ```javascript import fetch from "node-fetch" const url = "https://api.kaedim3d.com/api/v1/registerHook" const headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "X-API-Key": "your_api_key" } const body = { "devID": "your_dev_id", "destination": "your_endpoint_url" } try { fetch(url, { method: "POST", headers, body: JSON.stringify(body), }).then((res) => { res.json().then((data) => { console.log(data); }); }); } catch (e) { } ``` 201 Response ```json { "status": "success", "message": "Webhook already registered" "jwt" : "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1…" } ``` 404 Response ```json { "status": "error", "message": "User does not exist" } ``` Upon successful authentication you will receive a JWT, which needs to be added as a Bearer Token header on all processing requests.

Message	String	Short human-readable string giving more context on the reason the error occurred.

# Web Hooks Creating a webhook endpoint is the same as creating any other page on your website. It’s an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint on your server with a URL. Please ensure that your endpoint is HTTPS when setting it up. Set up an HTTP endpoint on your server that can accept webhook requests with a POST method. For example, this URL route in Flask maps to a Python webhook function: How do I receive webhook data? 1. Authenticate a user (Authentication Flow) 2. Make sure your webhook URL is correct 🎉 That’s it! ## Webhook Signing Kaedim will, in all requests made to your webhook, include a header kaedim-signature, which will contain a hash value unique to the request and developer ID. The signature secret - KAEDIM SECRET - can be found in user settings next to your developer ID and API-key and can be reset at any time. Make sure to use utf-8 encoding for the payload, and to use HEX digest for the hashing function {% hint style="info" %} *Example of a Node.js signature verification:* {% endhint %} ```javascript const secret = "Api-Secret"; const payload = JSON.stringify(response.body); console.log(response.body.result); const devID = response.body.results.devID; const signature = JSON.parse(response.headers["kaedim-signature"]); /* { t : 1235678, v1:80e62bdd6bddf54905d3cd6e13940626e16aedd.... }*/ const checkSignature = crypto .createHmac("sha256", secret) .update(`${signature.t}${payload}`) .digest("hex"); if ( crypto.timingSafeEqual( Buffer.from(signature.v1), Buffer.from(checkSignature) ) ) { // Authenticity confirmed console.log("SUCCESS"); } else { // Reject response console.log("FAIL"); } ``` Your endpoint will receive requests. These will have a type that can be sculpt, generation, unwrap, texture, rig, or lod. It will also have a status that can be new, completed, approved, dismissed, or uploaded. There will also be two boolean flags isRevision and assetComplete.\\ {% hint style="info" %} *Example webhook request:* {% endhint %}

# Releases Stay up to date on all our latest features ### September 2024 **Request Revision Update** We’ve updated the Request Revision feature to include feedback markers that allows for more precise feedback. These feedback markers correspond to text feedback that the user can input on the right. Watch the [demo](https://youtu.be/OfaOF9HFJ3E) here.

**Priority Feature** {% hint style="info" %} This feature is currently available for our Enterprise customers. {% endhint %} Users can now adjust the priority of their assets in the queue. This feature allows users to designate assets as urgent or high priority directly from the Assets page, ensuring critical items are processed first. This is especially useful for batch uploads, where users upload multiple assets at once.

### August 2024 **“Pivot point” options for all 3D model generations to aid with importing to the game engines** Users can now specify between “object center” and “base center” for their asset’s pivot point. Specifying pivot points allows them to scale, transform, and rotate their assets more easily once they have been exported to the game engine.

**Art and technical specifications** We’ve updated the Create page fields to allow users to send us their artistic and technical specifications. Using art and technical specifications, users can describe polycount distribution and any specifics for their asset in addition to their generation settings configurations and their input image.

### 8th July 2024 #### 🌇 Scenes This new feature enables users to upload images of entire scenes and generate them in one go, providing a serious upgrade to our "single objects" input rule. These scenes are fully editable and customisable, allowing you to create a complete scene all within Kaedim. We are also working on a feature that lets you combine together existing Kaedim assets in a new scene.

Generated scene / 94,968 tris / High quality

### 16th April 2024 **Game-ready Pipeline 👾** The Game-ready pipeline is a significant improvement from our previous, geometry-only outputs. Game-ready assets can be textured, rigged, and optimised with LoDs. {% hint style="info" %} Learn more about this feature [here](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets). {% endhint %} ### 22nd March 2024 **Folders feature** Folders allow you to group assets together by tags, generation quality, and creator (studio only).

{% hint style="info" %} Learn more about this feature [here](/groups). {% endhint %} ### 15th March 2024 **Team functionality** 🤝 If you're part of a team or studio, we've added an easier way for you to collaborate with your peers. Invite collaborators to your workspace and organise your team with Admin and Editor roles. {% hint style="info" %} Learn more about this feature [here](/enterprise-features/team-functionality). {% endhint %} ### **11th March 2024** Hello everyone, Our entire team at Kaedim is thrilled to announce that we have successfully closed our Series A funding round, securing $15M in financing from our investors at A16Z GAMES! {% embed url="" %} Announcement video {% endembed %} Alongside this announcement, we've launched two new releases: ⭐️ Marketplace Browse through 10,000+ high quality and ready-to-use 3D assets in our newest product launch: Kaedim Marketplace. This is the only 3D marketplace that lets you generate 3D assets, ensuring that you always get the exact asset you need.

🏷 [**Trials**](broken://pages/xF3uT1t0sOxcI0z8xUwl) {% hint style="warning" %} Note: Trials are no longer available. {% endhint %} Due to high demand, we've released our [new Trials](broken://pages/xF3uT1t0sOxcI0z8xUwl). This lets you try Kaedim before you commit to a monthly plan.

**18th January 2024** Featuring our new Create page! 🎉

We've got a couple of updates here: First is our new **Learning Center**. If you're new to Kaedim or to 3D in general, this will be a helpful and simple guide for you to learn more about Kaedim and how to use it to its full potential. ⭐️

Next, we've added the text box for image generation right under the upload box to make your workflow even faster!

We've also added a note that image generation does **not** require any credits. #### 5th December 2023 Hello everyone, We’re excited to share a new addition to our app that lets you view and download your generated 3D models before modifiers are applied: **The Pre-modifiers Feature** 🎉 In the Assets page card view, you'll see a toggle button that will allow you to preview the pre-modified model. {% hint style="info" %} Pre Modifiers will not be visible for colored assets. However, you can click on a previous, non-colored version and view the Pre Modifiers. {% endhint %}

You can also view it in the 3D studio! You can find the button on the top and switch easily between the pre-modified and final model.

You can find the new obj (pre-modifiers) format in the Download pop-up when you download your asset.

![:art:](https://a.slack-edge.com/production-standard-emoji-assets/14.0/apple-medium/1f3a8.png) **What are Modifiers?**\ Modifiers are operations that improve the appearance of your models. These can include smoothing, deformation, and subdivision. ![:bulb:](https://a.slack-edge.com/production-standard-emoji-assets/14.0/apple-medium/1f4a1.png) **Why is it important to have pre-modified models?**\ Kaedim has many use cases, and we want to make it as easy and fast as possible to integrate the Kaedim-made 3D assets into your workflow. By adding the pre-modified version of the 3D models, you now have a starting point that’s even easier to edit. ![:arrows\_counterclockwise:](https://a.slack-edge.com/production-standard-emoji-assets/14.0/apple-medium/1f504.png) **Updates and Support:**\ As always, our team is here to assist you. If you have any questions, feedback, or need support with the new feature, reach out to us in the Discord #help-and-support channel. Happy Modeling! \ The Kaedim Team {% hint style="warning" %} Assets made before the release will not have this feature. {% endhint %} #### 17th September 2023 Hello everyone! :)) We are back with some exciting changes that have been brewing the past couple of months. * Combine feature: You can now request for new models to be attached to another model. Useful for attaching weapons or accessories onto your character like so: ![](/files/Y6cfRs0a5LS5TRVFEpVq)![](/files/hqNYvYwzUgZCipDSnvxa) * PBR Texturing: Our Texturing BETA is back for another round, this time with a whole new PBR look. This new feature will allow you to make more physically realistic texturings!

* Merge Meshes: You can now select meshes that you want to merge from the 3D Editor! For models with a large number of meshes, you can use our Automatic Grouping function which selects adjacent meshes for you!

* Download LoDs: Whenever you download an LoD, we automatically group each level for you and place them into the same file:

* Review Model (Enterprise Only): For our Enterprise customers, we have enabled the option to occasionally send a model back for reviewing in case you are not satisfied with its outcome. Just click on the "Not satisfied with your model?" and follow the instructions!

* Multi-Select & Multi-Delete: The times of selecting assets one by one are before us! While you are on the Dashboard or Assets page, you can now press CTRL to toggle multi-select.

* Duplicate: Did you happen to like the generation settings you used? You can now instantly press on the "Duplicate" button on the bottom right corner of your assets to start creating using the same settings!

* Sorting: You can now sort all of your assets according to: * when they were created "Chronological" or * according to when you last made a request with them (Texturing, Iteration etc.)

* Invoices: From your user settings, you can now view all of the previous invoices we have issued you! Clicking on the invoice Number will take you to the corresponding Stripe page, where you can either view an old invoice or pay your new ones.

* Processing... : You can now see every step of the generation of your model from its card, as well as the step it currently is on!

Minor fixes: * Uploading a model now sets the polycount limit to that of the model uploaded instead of defaulting to a value. #### 21st June 2023 Hi everyone 👋 We have upgraded our Texturing BETA to allow for better texturing for perspective images

Happy Modeling! 💫 #### 4 March 2022 Hello World! 🙌Anyone can now build apps using our tech, and one of the most exciting applications will be enabling game devs to integrate 3D User Generated Content into their games giving players the power to create in 3D! Artists and game devs have used Kaedim Web App so far to quickly prototype, create and iterate their 3D art, in a cost effective way. However, talking to a lot of game developers, we realised something key. For the same reason games like Minecraft and Roblox are very popular, more and more people want the opportunity to customise and contribute 3D content inside their favourite games/metaverses. This is why we created, and now introducing the Kaedim API. Within your app, enable your players to upload their 2D inspiration and easily create their own 3D content for customising and populating the game. Here is a quick Demo ➡️ and to know more, check our [Documentation](https://app.archbee.io/public/m370vHO-M7WGXJQLRlIte/AU-DhH6mX0e1sb_FRXH3i).
