Introducing Yugma — AI-Native 3D for Everyone
Today we're launching Yugma. Type a sentence; watch a 3D scene build. No installs, no version drift, no learning curve.
# The pitch
Most 3D tools were built for the mouse. Yugma is built for the prompt. Describe what you want; the AI Director composes it. Edit individual objects via chat or click. Share a link with collaborators. Export GLB / USDZ / PNG / embed iframe.
# What's shipped today
- AI Scene Composer — 19 typed tool calls drive a live R3F scene graph.
- Text-to-3D — Meshy integration for real-world objects.
- Sketchfab import — 3M+ models accessible by AI Director.
- 30 PBR material presets — from polished steel to frosted glass.
- Real-time collab — Figma-style multi-cursor editing.
- Export — GLB universally; USDZ for iOS AR; PNG for hero shots.
- Embed iframe — drop on Webflow / Shopify / Framer.
- Free tier — full editor, 5 AI compositions/day, no watermark on GLB.
# What's coming
- Skeletal animation + auto-rig (Phase 11).
- Video to 3D (Phase 12).
- Digital twins (Phase 13 — read the preview).
- AI cinematic director (Phase 16).
# Who Yugma is for
- Interior designers drafting rooms for clients.
- Event planners laying out weddings, conferences, trade shows.
- Indie game devs blocking out levels.
- Product designers staging marketing scenes.
- Architects running concept-stage walkthroughs before BIM.
- R3F developers wanting an AI layer on top of the engine they already use.
# Why now
Three things converged in 2024-2025:
- LLMs got good enough at structured tool calls.
- Browser 3D (R3F + WebGL2 + WebGPU) got performant enough to be the deployment target.
- Designers got fluent enough with AI that natural-language scene composition is intuitive instead of unfamiliar.
We've been building toward this since 2024. Now it ships.
# Pricing
- Free tier: full editor + 5 AI compositions/day.
- Pro: $49/mo. Unlimited AI, no watermarks, USDZ export, 8 collab seats.
# Try it
Open Yugma Studio. Type a sentence. Watch it build.
