Arcadium 3D

What is Arcadium 3D?

Arcadium 3D is a tool for designing houses, rooms, and interior spaces that runs in a browser; users can draw floor plans, place furniture, and view the 3D results in real time.

It brings together precise dimensions, parametric modeling, real-time lighting, AI-driven interior rendering, and project sharing in a single workspace, making it ideal for quickly completing concept designs and communicating with clients.

Core functions

2D floor plans and 3D space design

• Draw walls and rooms at their actual sizes.
• Add doors, windows, stairs, and building elements
• Switch between 2D plan view and 3D view
• Use top-down, first-person, and dollhouse perspectives.
• View furniture proportions and space flow in real time
• Adjust day/night lighting and material effects

Parametric furniture and object libraries

The object library contains models of furniture, sanitary ware, lighting fixtures, plants, and decorations; many of these objects can be stretched, scaled, and their exact dimensions can be specified.

• Drag and drop furniture into the room.
• Modify length, width, height, and placement angle.
• Change color, material, and surface texture
• Automatic adjustment of certain cabinet components and repetitive structures
• Use adsorption and alignment to improve placement accuracy.
• Paid plans allow the import of custom 3D models.

AI interior design rendering

Users can create images in styles such as photos, hand-drawn drawings, sketches, or watercolors from the current camera angle, allowing for quick comparison of different design approaches.

Generate 3D furniture from photos

AI tools can attempt to create 3D objects that can be placed in a scene based on photos of furniture; they are useful for quickly creating simulations of one’s own furniture, but the dimensions and geometric details still require manual adjustment.

Real-time roaming and sharing

The project can be shared via a link with family members, clients, or colleagues, who can then rotate, navigate through, and understand the spatial relationships using a browser.

Color and material design

• Modify the colors of walls, floors, and furniture
• Upload custom textures and reference images
• Real-time preview of the effect of light on materials
• Use color-picking tools to explore color combinations.
• Save multiple options for comparison.

What use cases are suitable?

• Plan the living room, bedroom, and kitchen before starting the renovation.
• Calculate whether the dimensions of the furniture fit the room.
• Create layouts for offices and commercial spaces
• Create virtual interior design solutions for property sales.
• Enable interior designers to quickly present their concepts.
• Planning gardens, exhibition booths, and multi-room residences
• Share with customers the roaming-capable 3D solutions.
• Prepare dimension and view references for construction communication

Suggestions for package selection

Tutorial for creating new rooms

1. Register an account and create a new blank project.
2. Select the unit of measurement and enter the actual dimensions of the room.
3. Draw the walls, then add doors, windows, and structural elements.
4. Check the wall length, the location of openings, and the ceiling height.
5. Drag the main furniture from the object library.
6. Enter the furniture dimensions and adjust the position and angle.
7. Switch to the first-person view to check the movement path.
8. Save a version after modifying the lighting, colors, and materials.

AI rendering tutorial

1. First, complete the accurate layout in the 3D scene.
2. Choose a camera angle that clearly shows the key areas.
3. Verify that there are no overlaps between the walls, doors, windows, and major furniture.
4. Enable AI rendering and select a photo or art style.
5. Describe the material, color, lighting, and design style.
6. Generate multiple versions and compare spatial consistency.
7. Compare the AI-generated image side by side with the original 3D view.
8. The results are used for inspirational purposes only, not for precise construction.

Tutorial on creating 3D models from photos

1. Take photos with a clean background that shows the furniture clearly.
2. Avoid reflections, obstructions, and severe perspective distortions.
3. Upload an image and activate the AI model to generate it.
4. Place the generated object in the room scene.
5. Adjust the length, width, and height based on actual measurement values.
6. Check the geometry of the back, bottom, and edges.
7. Adjust the material and save it to the project for reuse.

Project sharing and collaboration

• Hide drafts that do not need to be displayed before sharing.
• Set a clear initial position for the camera.
• Use version names to distinguish between different layout schemes.
• Explain to customers the differences between AI-generated images and 3D models.
• Collect feedback on size, style, and flow.
• Retain the old version until final confirmation.

Import and Export

The platform allows for the import of custom models, reference images, and textures, and it can generate screenshots or high-quality 3D renders for use in proposals, mood boards, and social media.

The specific model format, resolution, and export permissions may vary depending on the solution; for important projects, it is necessary to use test files first to verify compatibility.

GitHub and open source

Arcadium has an open-source development community as well as a repository named core; however, as of the time of verification, there was not enough publicly available information to prove that a complete web editor, a model library, and AI services can be deployed independently.

The tool catalog should designate the platform as a commercial online service; a single public repository cannot represent the overall open-source nature of the core product.

Basic information

Recommendation score

The comprehensive recommendation score is 4.5 out of 5 points. Arcadium 3D is suitable for users who do not want to learn complex CAD software but still need accurate layout and rapid 3D representation; the free version is sufficient for testing small projects.
