Free browser studio for 3D app badges. Pick a shape, material, and mark, then export PNG, OBJ, or a code recipe. No account needed.

3D Badge (3dbadge.me) is a free WebGL studio by [Joe Woodward](https://joewoodward.co). No account. Open the homepage, pick a badge shape, material, and mark, then export or publish to a shared gallery.

## Use the studio

- [Studio](https://3dbadge.me/): design a 3D badge in the browser
- [Guide](https://3dbadge.me/guide): how to use the studio, FAQ
- Pick a silhouette (squircle, circle, square, hexagon, and others)
- Choose a material (metal, enamel, glass, marble, and more)
- Set the face mark: live type (Funkis variable font), a Heroicon, or a built-in logo
- Publish to the shared gallery, or export PNG, OBJ, or a code recipe

## For agents

- [LLM home](https://3dbadge.me/llm/home): markdown product mirror
- [LLM guide](https://3dbadge.me/llm/guide): steps and FAQ
- [Full dump](https://3dbadge.me/llms-full.txt): one-fetch copy of the product docs
- `GET https://3dbadge.me/api/badges`: public JSON list of published badges (`{ badges, configured }`)

Do not POST to the gallery unless a human is driving the studio. Publish is a studio action, not an unattended write API.

# 3D Badge

Free browser studio for 3D app badges. Pick a shape, material, and mark, then export PNG, OBJ, or a code recipe. No account needed.

## Shapes

Badges are extruded silhouettes. Available shapes include squircle, circle, square, and hexagon. Corner radius applies on shapes that support it.

## Materials

The body uses a material preset (metal, enamel, glass, marble, sketch, and others) with tunable color, roughness, and lighting. An optional HDRI environment (from a public CDN) lights the scene.

## Marks

Three mark modes:

1. **Live type** — variable font Funkis ABC, loaded from `/fonts/FunkisABCVariable.ttf`. Weight and axes are adjustable.
2. **Icon** — Heroicons v2 solid glyphs.
3. **Logo** — built-in app marks (JW, Roam, and others shipped with the studio).

## Gallery

Published badges live in a shared Vercel Blob library (max 60). Anyone can publish from the studio. Admin delete/update requires a secret entered in the sidebar for that browser tab.

## Exports

- PNG snapshot of the canvas
- OBJ mesh
- Code brief / recipe JSON describing controls so the badge can be recreated

## Limits

The studio is a client-side WebGL app. It does not require an account. Gallery storage is shared and capped. There is no MCP server and no agent write API.
