Overview
Simplifying 3D world-building for all
Palatial is working to accelerate 3D world-building, helping bridge the gap between simulation and reality. Through extensive user interviews and research, we identified that inhibited by a lack of technical resources, financial constraints, and and a high learning curve, one of the biggest hurdles in 3D workflows is the need for optimization.
How can we streamline the process of transforming 3D models into interactive experiences, from importing to optimization to exporting?
