3DBAE vs Cylindo

3DBAE is a browser workspace for creating interactive 3D product experiences and publishing them as embeddable viewers. Its configurator supports material and model variants, hotspots, animation, on-screen controls, interaction logic and a JavaScript Model API. Canvas links images, prompts and AI tools for visual workflows involving product imagery, video and image-to-3D generation. The product lists 12 import formats and 8 export formats, including GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL, PLY, SPLAT, SPZ and SOG. Viewers can be embedded with an iframe, and supported scenes can open in AR on iPhone or Android. Live Link connects Autodesk 3ds Max 2024–2027 on 64-bit Windows to a browser project and syncs the exportable scene. Hobby costs nothing and includes one project, up to two models and two environment assets, and no AI credits. Professional costs $12 a month. Projects remain private unless shared or published; public viewer links and embeds make the scene and rendering files available to people with access.
