Watch how it works
How it works
- 1. Describe it or add a photoType what you want in plain words, with sizes if you know them, or add a photo as a reference. Describe an object or a person.
- 2. The AI builds and checks itThe AI writes an OpenSCAD program for an object, or sets up the character generator for a person. It looks at six rendered views of the result and fixes what is wrong, up to five builds per message.
- 3. Refine and exportThe model opens in the viewer at real size. Ask for changes in the chat, move the sliders, then download it or pick a format from the Export menu.
Why make it with AI here
- 3DS is a long-lived format that older and newer software both import.
- Archicad reads 3DS as a regular import, which is handy for quick objects.
- Colours come through as 3DS materials.
Prompts to try
Click one to open it in the AI panel, then change the sizes to suit.
Exporting 3DS
- Open the Export menu and choose 3DS.
- In 3ds Max, use File > Import. For SketchUp, the SketchUp 2017+ (.skp) export opens directly with File > Open.
- Check the unit settings in the import dialog.
3DS keeps simple materials and colours. The format caps the number of vertices in each mesh, which suits furniture and props better than dense curved models.
Best export formats: 3DS, FBX
Good to know
3DS uses short material names and an old mesh structure, so FBX is the better choice whenever the target program reads it.
Cost and privacy
You use your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key. It is stored only in your browser and sent only to that provider, which bills you directly: a model typically costs $0.05 to $0.30 at Standard quality and up to about $1 at Detailed, and Innerscene charges nothing. Your key and prompts are not sent to Innerscene; we record anonymous usage statistics such as the steps used, the model chosen, token counts, a cost estimate and whether a model was made.
