3DBAE vs Spheri

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.

Spheri turns a 3D model into product visuals, material variants, live configurators, browser AR previews, and catalog content. Teams can upload a photo of a material sample to generate textures for product variants. Published outputs include images, AR links, 360 views, embeds, and interactive configurators. These can be embedded on Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom website; API-first publishing is described for websites, catalogs, dealer portals, showrooms, and internal tools. Supported mobile devices can open an AR link in a browser without a separate app. Spheri can help prepare an initial 3D model, material library, and configurator, which teams can later update in the dashboard. It is aimed at sellers of physical products such as furniture, decor, apparel, equipment, lighting, accessories, and custom-made goods. Starter is free forever, limited to one product, has no live configurator, and includes a watermark. Studio costs €149 a month and Scale costs €499 a month. Enterprise pricing is on request.
