AI 3D for event + exhibition layouts
Use case
# What's broken today
The event/exhibition tool space is dominated by 3D Event Designer ($9–30/mo), Allseated, and Social Tables. Each ships a catalog of furniture and asks the planner to place it manually. The AI 3D layer doesn't exist there yet.
# A real workflow for a wedding planner
- "Outdoor garden ceremony for 80 guests, white folding chairs in 8 rows split aisle, 2-meter rose-arch altar, two cocktail tables side stage" — AI lays out the entire ceremony.
- "Switch to gold chiavari chairs, add five hanging Edison bulb strands" — material + lighting tweak.
- "Add a 6-meter rectangular reception table for 16, surrounded by mismatched lounge furniture for 20" — reception zone added in one prompt.
- Share the embed link with bride/venue manager → orbit + comment.
# Real rental inventory in the AI loop
Yugma's Sketchfab integration brings 3M+ tagged 3D models — chairs, tables, AV gear, draping, signage — directly into the AI Director's vocabulary. Ask for "tan velvet armchair" and the AI fetches a credible match instead of generating a vague approximation.
FAQ
Can I match this to my own rental catalog?
Save your own GLBs to your Yugma library; the AI prefers your catalog when you reference it by name.
Does Yugma do CAD-grade venue plans?
For visual layouts and client preview, yes. For exact load-in plans with measurements, export to AutoCAD / Revit / Vectorworks Spotlight.
How does Yugma compare to 3D Event Designer?
3D Event Designer is mature for catalog-driven placement; Yugma is faster because the AI does layout. Use both: Yugma to draft, 3D Event Designer for the formal floor plan.
Can I share a walkthrough with my client?
Yes — Share button generates a read-only link. Optionally generate a USDZ for AR walk-through on iPhone/iPad.
