Taming the Chaos: Solving Common Pain Points with Managing 3D Assets

Samuel Kuwano |

Today 3D assets are becoming increasingly important for a variety of industries, from product design and manufacturing to gaming and entertainment. However, managing these assets can be a complex challenge. From locating 3D assets, versioning them to compressing & converting 3D assets and collaborating with team members on 3D projects.

Here are some of the common pain points companies face with 3D digital asset management:

File format chaos

3D models come in a wide range of formats, such as OBJ, FBX, STL, and glTF. This diversity can make it difficult to maintain consistency and compatibility across different software and platforms. echo3D solves this problem by providing universal file viewers that can handle all major 3D file formats. You can upload your assets in any format, and echo3D will take care of the rest.

Massive file sizes

High-quality 3D models can be quite large, making them difficult to store, share, and load efficiently. echo3D tackles this challenge by offering a cloud-based storage solution with generous storage quotas and efficient data streaming. This ensures that your assets are always accessible, regardless of their size.

Version control nightmares

Keeping track of different versions of a 3D model and ensuring that everyone is working on the latest version can be a nightmare, especially in collaborative environments. echo3D's version control features allow you to track changes, revert to previous versions, and collaborate seamlessly with team members.

Lost in a sea of assets

Finding specific assets can be a daunting task when you have a large collection of 3D models. echo3D's powerful search and filtering capabilities allow you to quickly locate the assets you need based on various criteria, such as name, tags, or metadata. Additionally, echo3D harnesses the power of generative AI to autotag 3D assets uploaded into your collection, making it easier to locate 3D assets.

Data security issues

Data security is a critical concern for many companies, especially when dealing with sensitive 3D assets. echo3D addresses this by offering on-premise deployment of its 3D DAM solution. This allows you to host your 3D content securely within your own cloud infrastructure, such as AWS, Azure, or another cloud server. By keeping your data on your own servers, you have greater control over security measures and compliance requirements, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of your valuable 3D assets.
