Soft8Soft

What Soft8Soft does

Soft8Soft is a privately held software company that develops and distributes Verge3D, a WebGL-based toolkit that enables artists, developers, and non-coders to convert 3D scenes authored in Blender, 3ds Max, or Maya into interactive, browser-deployable web applications. The product combines a runtime based on WebGL/WebGL2 and Three.js with a proprietary visual logic editor called Puzzles — a code-less scripting environment comprising 300+ puzzle blocks — which allows users to add interactivity, animation, and responsive behavior without writing JavaScript. Verge3D is sold in three license tiers (Freelance, Team, Enterprise) as perpetual one-time licenses, supplemented by subscription-based cloud hosting via Verge3D Network, an expanding catalog of material/asset packs, and domain-specific plugins for WordPress, WooCommerce, and SCORM-compliant e-learning applications. The product supports AR/VR output and is distributed globally through a self-serve, product-led growth model: users can download Verge3D directly from soft8soft.com with no registration or trial gating, while an official WordPress plugin extends reach to the broader 60+ million-site WordPress ecosystem.

The company serves a horizontal mix of customers that includes freelance 3D artists and individual developers, e-commerce and product-configuration teams (WooCommerce integrators, automotive OEM configurators such as Volvo and BASF, consumer-electronics brands including LG, Oppo, and Vodafone), architectural visualization and real-estate studios, e-learning and medical visualization teams, and browser-based game developers. Marquee enterprise deployments — including NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Mars Rover Online 3D Simulator, GE Digital Energy, BSN Sports, Tesla, GlaxoSmithKline, Schneider Electric, Nissan, Honda, and SUVA — function primarily as showcase references rather than as concentrated revenue anchors, consistent with the company's self-serve, long-tail go-to-market. Soft8Soft operates under two disclosed legal entities, Soft8Soft Distribution, LLC (US) and OOO Sof't Eyt Soft (Russia), with the company historically headquartered in Moscow and a multilingual commercial presence spanning English, Russian, and Chinese markets.

Commercial monetization relies on three streams: (1) one-time perpetual license sales for Verge3D variants covering Blender, 3ds Max, and Maya, plus an Ultimate/旗舰版 (flagship) bundle; (2) recurring subscription revenue from Verge3D Network cloud hosting, which as of May 2026 offers unrestricted data transfer across all tiers; and (3) one-time sales of material and asset packs from the Verge3D storefront. Soft8Soft is founder-led, with Yuri Kovelenov serving as founder/CEO ("Chief 3D Verger") and Alexander Kovelenov as co-founder and CTO ("Tech Chief"), and has not disclosed any external venture capital, private equity, debt facility, acquisition, or IPO activity in available sources. The firm states 1–10 employees and reports no parent company, subsidiaries, or structural changes since its 2017 founding.

The company also operates Verge3D Network, a cloud hosting platform with one-click deployment, and sells material/asset packs through its online store.

Product overview

Soft8Soft offers Verge3D, an artist-friendly WebGL toolkit for creating interactive 3D web content. The core Verge3D product works as a pipeline on top of Blender, 3ds Max, or Maya, allowing users to create immersive 3D web experiences without coding. The platform includes Puzzles, a visual scripting editor with 300+ blocks for adding interactivity. Verge3D Network provides cloud hosting for deployed applications. The product lineup includes versions for each supported 3D modeling application (Verge3D for Blender, 3ds Max, and Maya), with license tiers including Personal, Team, Enterprise, and Ultimate. Integrated solutions include a WordPress plugin for content management, WooCommerce integration for e-commerce, and SCORM support for e-learning applications.

Direct peers

• PlayCanvas: PlayCanvas is a WebGL-first game and 3D application engine with a visual editor for building interactive browser experiences. It is a direct peer to Verge3D as both target artists/developers building interactive 3D content for the web, with overlapping no-code/low-code positioning and similar use cases in product visualization and configurators.
• Three.js (mrdoob): Three.js is the foundational open-source WebGL library on which Verge3D itself is built. It is a direct peer in the 3D-web-authoring category: any team choosing between raw Three.js coding and Verge3D's Puzzles-based pipeline is making the same architectural choice Verge3D competes in.
• Babylon.js (Microsoft): Babylon.js is a Microsoft-supported WebGL/WebGPU framework for building interactive 3D experiences and games in the browser. It competes directly with Verge3D for developer-driven 3D web applications, including product visualization and configurators, and benefits from Microsoft's distribution.
• Sketchfab (Epic Games): Sketchfab is a leading 3D model viewer and publishing platform for the web, now owned by Epic Games. It directly overlaps Verge3D's product-visualization and 3D-embed use cases for e-commerce and marketing, with the added advantage of Epic's broader 3D ecosystem (Unreal, Twinmotion).
• Spline: Spline is a real-time 3D design tool with a browser-based editor for creating and publishing interactive 3D scenes for the web. It is a direct peer to Verge3D for designers/creators building interactive 3D web content, with stronger emphasis on design-time editing but a less mature Blender/3ds Max/Maya pipeline story.
• Vectary: Vectary is a browser-based 3D modeling and AR visualization platform targeting designers and product teams. It competes with Verge3D for the same no-code 3D web and AR visualization use cases, particularly for e-commerce and product configuration.

Emerging players

• 8th Wall (Niantic): 8th Wall is a web-based AR development platform that powers immersive 3D and AR experiences in the browser. It overlaps with Verge3D's WebXR/AR capabilities and targets similar enterprise customers building interactive product experiences, though from a more AR-first perspective.
• p3d.in: p3d.in is a lightweight browser-based 3D model viewer and configurator service aimed at designers and marketers. It competes with Verge3D at the lower end of the 3D web visualization market, particularly for product visualization and quick AR embeds.

Broad incumbents

• Adobe Substance 3D Stager: Adobe Substance 3D Stager is part of Adobe's broader 3D design suite offering scene composition and visualization with publishing workflows. It is a broad incumbent competing for the same artist-friendly 3D authoring audience but with deeper Adobe Creative Cloud integration and enterprise sales reach.
• Twinmotion (Epic Games): Twinmotion is Epic Games' real-time visualization tool for architecture and product visualization, with one-click publishing to the web. It competes with Verge3D's ArchViz and product-visualization use cases, backed by Unreal Engine's rendering power and Epic's distribution.
