Polytrons are microservices that can process your assets in the cloud. Whether optimizing 3D models, converting formats, composing images, or using AI to describe an image: Polytrons provide reliable outputs tailored to your creative requirements. Polytrons can perform sophisticated data processing on formats such as 2D, 3D, audio, video and more. This article explains how to locate and use Polytrons using the official Polyverse front end.
To learn how to process Polytrons with Polyverse's REST API, please visit the official Polyverse REST API Documentation.
¶ Where to Locate Polytrons
Polytrons can be found in the Process Data page under the Processing section in the sidebar. This page showcases new, popular, and featured Polytrons in the Polyverse. Use Quick Search at the top to find thousands of available Polytrons, or enable Browse By Category to explore Polytrons organized by their specific categories and functions.
By default, only certified Polytrons will appear with Quick Search. To enable search for user-created Polytrons, disable the Show Only Certified Polytrons and Favorties option.
Custom Polytrons can be created by uploading InstaMAT Packages to an Asset Library. These Polytrons can appear in Quick Search if public, or marked as a favorite when private.
¶ How to Process an Asset with a Polytron
