CAPABILITIES

Supported Reference Tools

Everything the reference suite covers for accurate units, scale, render planning, and performance budgets.

Unit Converter

Convert between meters, centimeters, millimeters, kilometers, inches, feet, yards, and miles. Includes 3D specific units like Blender's metric units, Maya's centimeter grid, 3ds Max's generic units, and Unreal Engine's unreal units. Ideal for cross-software scale matching.

Scale Reference

Compare your model against real-world objects including humans, doors, vehicles, furniture, and common props. Visualize height, width, and depth references to catch scale mistakes early before they break animations, physics, or prints.

Render Time Estimator

Estimate render time using resolution, sample count, and hardware performance. Model single frame and full animation render times across CPU and GPU. Plan render farm jobs and client deadlines with realistic estimates.

Polygon Budget Calculator

Plan triangle and vertex budgets for mobile, desktop, and console targets. Split budgets across characters, props, and environments. Optimize for draw calls, LOD levels, and per platform performance limits.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, all reference tools are completely free to use with no daily limits, no account, and no subscription. They run entirely in your browser for instant results.

It supports meters, centimeters, millimeters, kilometers, inches, feet, yards, and miles. It also handles 3D specific units like Blender's metric units, Maya's centimeter grid, 3ds Max's generic units, and Unreal Engine's unreal units.

It estimates render time using your scene's resolution, sample count, and hardware performance. Enter your hardware specs and scene settings to get an approximate time per frame and a total render time for the full animation.

A polygon budget is the maximum number of triangles your asset can use while meeting performance targets. Mobile, desktop, and console platforms each have different budgets. The calculator helps you split that budget across characters, props, and environments.

It compares your model's size against real-world objects like humans, vehicles, and furniture. This helps you catch scale mistakes before they cause problems in game engines, animations, physics, or 3D prints.
