Guide for On-Demand 3D Model Generation

What is on-demand generation on iteration3d.fr?

On-demand generation allows the iteration3d.fr generation engine to create a 3D model (consisting of one or more files) based on specific dimensions not currently available on the site.

Once generated, and just like the existing 3D models on iteration3d.fr, the new model will be made available on the site. This new model remains the property of iteration3d.fr. It is made available for download under one or more licenses, free and/or paid, just like the existing models on the site.

On-demand generation is not available for all templates. When on-demand generation is available, a green icon of a pointing finger appears to the right of the template name. If the icon is grayed out and crossed, on-demand generation is not available.

How to launch on-demand generation?

The first step is to perform a search with the desired dimensions. If the 3D model is not available on the site, then on-demand generation will be offered.

The search is available on each template page.

If the model does not exist with the submitted dimensions and the template is eligible for on-demand generation, a box will appear suggesting to start the generation.

On-demand generation page

When you click on the "Request build" button, you are redirected to the on-demand generation page. On-demand generation pages are recognizable by the template title highlighted in yellow.

Instructions

It is important to follow the instructions shown in the "Instructions" section. The submitted values will be checked, so following these guidelines will ensure a smooth experience.

Form

The values you previously entered during your search on the template page are carried over. All fields must be filled in.

The form reuses the values entered during the search.

The model already exists or is in the queue

If a model with the entered values already exists, the site will offer a download link.

The model already exists — a link to its page is displayed.

Similarly, if the model is already in the queue (its generation is scheduled and registered), a future download link will be provided. This link will allow you to access the model once it has been generated.

Values inconsistent with the instructions

If the generation engine detects values that are inconsistent with the instructions, the site will indicate the reason and show which values need to be corrected.

Generation Request Recording

If the values are valid, the generation request is recorded. A link is provided. Save this link — it will allow you to access the model once it has been generated. An estimated waiting time is also displayed.

Access the generated model

The link you copied will take you to the model search page with the field pre-filled. Just click the "Search" button.

You can also directly enter the generation code (e.g., X9-M7-V7-F9). If the model has been successfully generated, it will appear in the results.
