A 3D model is a digital object that can be placed within your space and viewed in AR experiences.

3D models use vertices, edges, and faces to combine to make a shape that can be rendered in real space. These models can include things like textures and materials that make the appearance of the digital object feel more real.

A car salesman imports a 3D model of his new convertible into the Trace app so he can configure the different variations of the car within his showroom for potential buyers.

3D models are the basic building blocks of AR content and experiences. All content within AR is made up of various 3D models that have been created by artists or scanned from real-world objects.
