Q: I am asking this because I am a complete newbie to 3D models: how do I create a 3D model of my own, unique product (vs.
using stock 3D models)? I tried 3D scanning apps made for iPhone but the results were horrible, completely unusable. Is there a feasible way to turn unique products into 3D models to be used with your app? I have zero 3D skills, so by "feasible" I mean that something I can do or have it done, without having to pay a professional an arm and a leg to recreate each product in a 3D modeling app from scratch...

You are correct that 3D scanning is quite limited, although we do support upload from TRNIO and The 3D Scanner apps directly. We recommend that you follow tutorials on how to create 3D models in Blender. Its a free tool that has very powerful features to quickly create very advanced 3D models. On our website FAQ you can find tutorials for all leading 3D creation tools. For most beginners, I would recommend to first download a free model from e.g. CGTrader.com, or buy one (they are very cheap!), and then modify that to your needs in Blender or one of the other free tools out there. Once you are happy with your 3D model, you can simply export it in the glTF format and upload it to our visualization tool. You can then add animations, camera movements and many other controls and add it to your website using one line of HTML code.
