Verge3D by Soft8Soft

Hong Kong-based Blender artist and educator Gee Lau has just rolled out an impressive Japanese learning app built without a single line of programming code! From the author: "I am a professional Japanese language instructor with 23 years of experience. My latest project, Happi Japanese, is a 3D interactive application specifically designed for absolute beginners to master Japanese phonetics. Just a quick heads-up: even though this project is powered by Verge3D and leverages its powerful logic workflow, it focuses strictly on high-performance interactive 2D and multimedia elements rather than actual 3D graphics or WebGL meshes. My goal was to transform traditional classroom explanations into an immersive multimedia experience, helping students build a solid interest in Japanese from their very first step—pronunciation. As a creator without a formal coding background, I built the entire application logic using Verge3D Puzzles. Key Technical Takeaways & Milestones: Massive Weight Reduction: cut down the total build size from 6xx MB to 2xx MB by optimizing over 1,700+ assets (mostly by compressing those heavy MP4 video textures). Pure WebGL/Browser Deployment: after testing, the optimized 2xx MB package performs flawlessly directly within mobile and desktop web browsers. I have decided to prioritize a pure WebGL/Browser-based distribution, as it offers the most seamless learning journey for my students without requiring a clunky installer or portable desktop setup. The Logic-only (Puzzles) Success: this project proves that a pure Puzzles architecture can scale beautifully to manage over 1,700 dynamic assets using material replacement and structured Show/Hide logic trees, making it highly feasible for large-scale educational tools! I truly want to thank the Verge3D team and its wonderful community. The flexibility of Puzzles allowed me to bridge the gap between classroom teaching and interactive development perfectly."

Effective today, users on all Verge3D plans—including Freelance, Team, and Enterprise—will enjoy unrestricted data transfer for their applications hosted on Verge3D Network. This move is designed to empower creators, brands, and developers to scale their interactive projects without the constraints of bandwidth monitoring or the fear of overage charges. Previously, Verge3D Network plans were governed by tiered traffic caps (10-30 GB per month). By eliminating these boundaries, we aim to support the growing demand for high-fidelity 3D configurators, product visualizations, e-learning experiences, and browser games that often experience unpredictable viral traffic spikes.

Electric vehicle manufacturer Montra used the web 3D technology to introduce the Eviator, its first electric truck, ahead of its debut at Auto Expo 2025. The application was created by the digital agency Tag Worldwide (part of the Dentsu Group) using Autodesk Maya and #Verge3D Ultimate. From the company blog: "Competitive analysis helped shape the creative direction and led to the recommendation of a web-optimized 3D configurator, giving buyers a hands-on way to explore and customize the vehicle. What started as a pre-production reveal quickly turned into a high-impact brand moment, delivering scale, visibility, and real commercial results. Most importantly, this became a repeatable blueprint for how new-age automotive brands can build momentum, credibility, and demand before production begins."

X Square Robot is a leading-edge startup backed by Alibaba, ByteDance, and Xiaomi with 2 billion yuan financing. Its flagship product, Quanta X2, is a next-generation robot focused on general-purpose embodied AI for real-world service tasks rather than just industrial settings. It uses a wheeled base for stable, fast indoor mobility while maintaining a humanoid upper body for human-scale reach and interaction. A full-body teleoperation system allows gesture-based communication and emotional expression. In short, it is regarded as the most capable and smart robot to this day. Not surprisingly, the company used the best tool available on the market (yes, Verge3D) to present this impressive technology online!

Bubble dome is a relatively new trend in architecture that provides a range of advantages for living and recreational spaces. It may come in a variety of finishes and settings which makes it a perfect use case for the 3D configurator to shine. Created by Dai Jiaming and here is his story: "A few years ago, I was just a creator obsessed with 3D modeling. I created models in 3ds Max, rendered them, and delivered them to clients. The process went smoothly, but I always felt like something was missing. The product was clearly three-dimensional, but the customer could only see a single image. Then I encountered Verge3D and for the first time, I exported a model as a 3D interactive webpage, with the parts highlighted when the mouse hovered over them and the structure disassembled when clicked. At that moment, I knew: this is what I want to do. Since then, I have stopped being a modeler and instead became a 3D interactive creator. I no longer deliver a still picture, but rather an experience — to allow the customers to try the product before purchasing it."

This beautifully crafted Verge3D app brings John Deere machines into real life! From John Deere Asia: "Given the nature of the agricultural machinery such as tractors and combines which are typically quite large and expensive, to engage with potential customers in a meaningful way and train numerous operators in an efficient way can be challenging. This is precisely where Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) come into play as these technologies offer unique solutions to address and overcome these key challenges in agriculture."
