Looking for the quickest way to share? Use hosted shares — click Share in Studio and get a link instantly. Self-hosting is for when you want to host model files yourself and use the viewer for free, without a watermark.

How self-hosting works

Three steps. No backend. No API keys. No dependencies.

1

Configure your scene

Drop your model into Trice Studio to set up your scene using all available settings — most features are free. The model is loaded locally just for configuration; in the next step you'll point to your self-hosted file. You can also optimize your model and export a lighter version to host.

2

Set your model URLs

Open Share → Self-hosted tab. Paste the public HTTPS link to your model file (hosted on your server, S3, Cloudflare R2, or any CDN). The scene settings are encoded directly in the share URL — this works great for simple scenes.

If the URL gets too long, use Export JSON to download a config file that contains both your model URL and all scene settings. Host this JSON file alongside your model — the share link will be much shorter.

Copy JSON does the same thing but copies the contents to your clipboard instead of downloading a file — handy when you've updated your scene and just need to paste the new config into your existing hosted JSON file without re-downloading.

Share or embed

Get a direct link to share anywhere, or grab the iframe code to embed on your site. Works as a standalone page or inside any HTML.

One line of code

Paste this into your HTML. That's it.

Load a model directly
HTML 
<iframe
  src="https://app.trice3d.com/?load=https://cdn.example.com/model.glb"
  width="100%" height="500"
  frameborder="0" allowfullscreen
></iframe>
Or use a scene config
HTML 
<iframe
  src="https://app.trice3d.com/?config=https://cdn.example.com/scene.json"
  width="100%" height="500"
  frameborder="0" allowfullscreen
></iframe>

?load takes a GLB or GLTF URL. ?config takes a scene JSON with lighting, camera, materials and more — export one from Studio.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Self-hosted shares are free forever with no watermark. You host the model files — we provide the viewer.

Just a free account. Sign up in seconds with Google or GitHub, create a project, and you're ready to export self-hosted scenes. No credit card, no trial limits.

Anywhere with HTTPS: your own server, Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, Vercel Blob, or any CDN. As long as the files are publicly accessible via HTTPS, it works.

The viewer loads GLB and GLTF — the standard 3D web formats. You can export GLB from virtually any 3D tool: Blender, SketchUp, Rhino, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and more.

Yes. The viewer is fully responsive with touch controls — pinch to zoom, one-finger orbit, two-finger pan. Fly mode with virtual joysticks on mobile. Works on iOS and Android.

Both are on the Free plan. Self-hosted shares have no watermark — you host the model files on your own server. Free hosted shares use our storage (3 projects, 500 MB) but show a small Trice watermark.

Self-hosted gives you the same rendering quality for free — you just host the files yourself. Pro adds managed storage (50 GB), hosted shares without watermark, hotspots & guided tours, material variants, video export, and server-side texture optimization.

Absolutely. Self-hosted embeds are free for personal and commercial use. No attribution required, no watermark, no usage limits.
