How to choose 3d & interiors tools
The three tools here do quite different jobs, so start with what you need to produce. Meshy generates textured, rigged 3D models from text or images, aimed at games and 3D printing. Spline is a browser-based editor for building interactive 3D scenes for websites and apps. Autodesk Construction Cloud is a construction management platform that covers design, preconstruction, build and handover. It manages building projects rather than generating models.
Beyond that, a few things set them apart:
- Pricing model. Meshy and Spline are freemium, and Spline's paid plans start at $12/mo. Autodesk Construction Cloud is priced on request.
- API access. Meshy and Spline both offer an API. This matters if you want to generate or embed 3D content from your own code.
- Platforms. All three run on web, iOS and Android. Meshy also has a Chrome extension.
We list these tools but haven't tested them, so try the free tiers before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Are there free 3D design tools in this category?
Yes. Meshy and Spline are both freemium, so you can start without paying. Autodesk Construction Cloud has no listed free plan. You have to contact the company for pricing.
How much do these tools cost?
Spline's paid plans start at $12/mo. Meshy is freemium, but we don't have its paid prices on our list. Autodesk Construction Cloud is priced by quote.
What should I look for when choosing a 3D tool?
First, match the tool to what you need to produce. Meshy generates models from text or images, Spline builds interactive scenes for the web, and Autodesk Construction Cloud manages construction projects. Then check whether you need an API (Meshy and Spline have one), which platforms you work on, and whether a free tier covers what you need.
What are the alternatives to Meshy?
If you'd rather design interactive 3D scenes by hand than generate models, Spline is the closest option on this list. It runs in the browser and also has an API. For building and construction projects, Autodesk Construction Cloud does a different job: it covers project management from design through handover.
