Is the Balancing balls 3D model free for commercial use?

Yes. It is free under the 1DesignTool 3D library license: use it in personal and commercial work — games, apps, websites, renders, ads and client projects — and modify it as you like, with no credit required. What you can't do is re-sell or re-distribute the file on its own or inside a model pack.

What file format is it, and how big is it?

A single binary glTF 2.0 file (.glb), 67 KB: 1,856 triangles, 3,782 vertices and 12 materials, modelled in metres at 72 cm × 1.4 m × 72 cm.

Can I animate Balancing balls?

It ships as a static mesh. Its 6 named parts are separate nodes, so you can move or animate each one in your engine.

Which engines and tools can open it?

Anything that reads glTF 2.0. three.js, React Three Fiber, Babylon.js, Godot 4 and Blender import the GLB directly; Unity and Unreal Engine load it through their glTF importers. The snippets above show the exact code for three.js, React Three Fiber, Godot and Blender.

How was the Balancing balls 3D model made?

Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5) generated it inside 1DesignTool's 3D template from a written brief, then the design kit's checks verified the geometry and the GLB before it was published. You can make your own the same way with 1DesignTool.

Balancing balls

A low-poly stack of three striped circus balancing balls: a big walking globe with a gold belt, seated in a dark-wood ring stand, with a medium and a small ball balanced on top.

How it was made

The brief given to 1DesignTool's “3D object” template:

Balancing balls for the Circus kit. Design it as one clear asset at believable real-world scale for that setting (state the size in metres in meta.notes), with its main parts modelled and named, readable at thumbnail size and from every orbit angle. This is one part of the Circus kit (Low-poly style, flat-lowpoly direction): The big top comes to town. Use ONLY the kit palette, by name: red and white stripes #f4f1ec, gold #d0a225, midnight blue #123464, red and white stripes dark #d7cebc, gold dark #8f7019, red and white stripes light #f9f8f6, gold light #debd63, soot black #1b1b22, warm white #f2ede2, mid grey #7d828c, dark wood #3d2a1c. Every material's `name` must be exactly the palette colour it uses — the GLB carries these names so the kit recolours as one; an unnamed material fails delivery. Kit knob: expose a param `stripeColours` (0–1, default 0.5) for the kit's "Stripe colours" setting wherever it makes sense on this part, and keep that id.

Note: Real-world scale: 0.72 m wide x 1.44 m tall x 0.72 m deep. The large ball is 0.70 m across, the medium 0.42 m, the small 0.27 m, and the ring stand is 0.49 m across. Origin is at the bottom centre and the stand rests on y = 0. Static prop with no animation clip. 1856 triangles. Materials are named exactly after Circus kit palette colours. The GLB exporter writes one material copy per mesh, so some names repeat (e.g. several 'gold' entries). They are identical, so recolouring by name still works. stripeColours picks the stripe colour pair: below 0.33 it uses the kit stripe pair ('red and white stripes' + 'red and white stripes dark') with gold caps; from 0.33 to 0.66 (the default) it uses 'red and white stripes' + 'midnight blue' with gold caps; above 0.66 it uses 'midnight blue' + 'gold' with stripe-white caps and a 'gold dark' stand lip. The balls rest pole to pole and the large ball sits slightly sunk into the stand lip. Both overlaps are deliberate, small embeds, so nothing floats. The model root node is named 'circus-balancing-balls'. In the viewer it is registered as 'balancingballs' because the kit's plan validator does not allow hyphens in ids. glb-lint reports 0 errors and only advisory warnings (duplicate material copies, the deliberate nesting overlaps).
