Challenge

Spatial.io struggled with slow load times, high bandwidth use, and manual optimization when streaming large 3D models for 3D gaming. To keep 3D gaming experiences immersive and scalable across devices, they needed a way to automatically optimize and deliver 3D content in real time.

Results

Spatial.io used echo3D’s API and Ultimate Compression to automatically shrink 3D game assets—achieving up to 10× better compression than Draco—and seamlessly integrated it into their Unity-based pipeline.

We're able to finally deploy compressing 3D models using [echo3D's] APIs, [instead of] using our own servers... making use of echo3D's texture compression API for gltf-transform.

About Spatial.io

Spatial.io is an immersive 3D platform that empowers creators and brands to build, share, and experience interactive virtual spaces for collaboration, community, and storytelling.

The Challenge

Spatial.io faced significant performance bottlenecks when delivering rich 3D environments. Their user experiences—characterized by avatars, interactive objects, and immersive scenes—required efficient ingestion and real-time streaming of heavy 3D models. Existing pipelines resulted in:

  • Long load times that degraded user gaming experience
  • High bandwidth consumption affecting scalability
  • Manual optimization processes that slowed development cycles

To maintain immersive, responsive 3D gaming experiences across diverse devices, Spatial.io needed a solution that could dynamically optimize and deliver 3D content at scale.

The Solution

Spatial.io selected echo3D and its API-driven 3D asset workflow, leveraging the platform’s powerful Ultimate Compression feature. This enabled:

  • Automated, on-the-fly 3D asset compression
  • Up to 10× better compression ratios compared to standard Draco methods
  • Seamless API access for integration with their existing content pipeline and Unity-based spatial environments

The Results

By leveraging echo3D’s Ultimate Compression, Spatial.io achieved faster load times with heavily compressed game assets that enabled smoother room entry, reduced bandwidth usage that lowered streaming costs and improved gaming performance on limited networks, an enhanced user experience with instant scene loading and responsive 3D interactions, and a streamlined developer workflow by eliminating manual optimization and accelerating asset deployment.
