Getting started

Idam3D is a browser-based, local-first 3D editor. You can start without an account, and your projects remain in your browser unless you export them.

Your first scene

1. Choose a starting point. Open a showcase template to learn by exploring, or choose an empty scene.
2. Select and shape. Click an object in the viewport or Layers panel. Use Move, Rotate, and Scale, then add primitives, imported GLBs, materials, or textures.
3. Save something portable. Continue with local autosave, download an editable backup, or export a PNG or static GLB.

The core workflow

Stage	What to do
Build	Start with templates, primitives, characters, imported GLBs, or reusable library objects.
Organize	Rename, group, hide, lock, reorder, and search layers.
Style	Apply materials and local image textures; tune lighting, camera, background, grid, and shadows.
Animate	Keyframe position, rotation, and scale with timing, looping, easing, and local interactions.

Start with a template

Templates are real editable objects and groups—not screenshots. Select their parts in Layers and make them yours.

Save and export

Idam3D autosaves projects in your browser and keeps recent recovery versions. An editable backup is the safest way to preserve supported editor data or move a project between browsers.

Export boundary

GLB export is currently static. It includes current scene geometry and materials, but not editor timeline keyframes or interactions.

Troubleshooting

The 3D view is unavailable

Use a current desktop browser with WebGL enabled. Close other graphics-heavy tabs, reload, and try hardware acceleration.

An imported file does not load

Use a self-contained GLB with supported compression and embedded resources. Unsupported compression or external-resource references are rejected safely.

Local-first privacy

Idam3D currently has no accounts, cloud saves, analytics, or public gallery. Projects, recovery versions, and imported models stay in your browser unless you export them.
