Mobile AR 3D Model Generator
Mobile AR 3D Model Generator
Mobile AR apps require 3D assets that are lightweight, ARKit/ARCore-compatible, and look good at real-world scale. HiPtah generates models that meet these requirements and export in GLB format — the industry standard for mobile AR frameworks.
Target Audience
- Mobile app developers adding AR features to consumer apps
- Retail brands building AR product visualization
- AR advertising agencies creating sponsored AR experiences
- Independent AR developers prototyping AR concepts
AR Model Requirements
| Requirement | Target | HiPtah Output | |-------------|---------|---------------| | Poly count | Under 100K tris for mobile | Varies — may need decimation | | File format | GLB (GLTF binary) | Native HiPtah export | | Texture size | 1024x1024 max for mobile | Standard output | | Scale | Real-world dimensions | Review and rescale in engine | | PBR materials | Metallic-roughness workflow | Base PBR included |
Workflow
- Define the AR use case — Is this a product showcase, a game object, or an environmental overlay? Each has different fidelity needs.
- Generate with AR in mind — Write prompts that include material and scale references. "Realistic sneaker, mesh upper material, rubber sole, correct proportions for life-size display, clean topology."
- Export as GLB — The binary format compresses textures and is read directly by AR frameworks.
- Test in AR Quick Look or ARCore — Place the model at real-world scale and evaluate from multiple viewing angles.
- Optimize if needed — Use Blender's decimate modifier or Unreal's proxy LOD system to reduce poly count without losing silhouette.
AR Platform Compatibility
| Platform | Recommended Format | Notes | |----------|-------------------|-------| | ARKit (iOS) | GLB, USDZ | HiPtah GLB works; USDZ needs conversion | | ARCore (Android) | GLB | Native support | | Unity AR Foundation | GLB | Direct import | | Web AR (8th Wall) | GLB | Works with 8th Wall's GLB loader | | Snapchat AR | FBX or Spark AR format | Convert from GLB |
Use Case Examples
- Retail AR try-on — Generate shoe or bag models for AR try-on experiences. Focus on accurate proportions and material description.
- AR games — Generate game objects, characters, and environment pieces for location-based or marker-based AR games.
- Educational AR — Generate 3D models of historical artifacts, scientific equipment, or anatomical structures for AR learning apps.
