Poly was a website created by Google for users to browse, distribute, and download 3D objects. It was launched in 2017 and intended to allow creators to easily share and access 3D objects. It featured a free library containing thousands of 3D objects for use in virtual reality and augmented reality applications.
In December 2020, Google announced Poly would be shut down on June 30, 2021.[1]
Features
Users could search the Poly model library by specific keywords and upload or download models in the OBJ file format.[2] Most models could be "remixed" using Tilt Brush and Google Blocks application integration; the remixed object was automatically published on Poly with credit and links to the original creator.[3] 3D objects could be viewed using Google Cardboard or Daydream View.[4]
