We just released one of our biggest changes to 3DStreet's user interface design in a long time -- the 3DStreet editor has a majorly refreshed side-panel layout. This redesign was driven by user research led by Andrea Maravić as UX research lead, alongside the broader University of Cincinnati team, and design work from product designer Daria Dombrovska. We're lucky to have a community of users generous enough to tell us what's working and what isn't, and we want to keep building 3DStreet around what we hear.

Since our last product update in February, we've been focused on one of the most-requested editor features, a major round of AI model upgrades, and a set of performance improvements that make the app noticeably faster to use. Here's what's new.

It's been a busy few months at 3DStreet! Since our last product update in September 2025, we've shipped a wave of new features focused on expanding our AI creative tools, improving how you manage and share your work, and making it easier to import designs from other platforms. Here's what's new.

Can augmented reality transform how communities engage with street redesigns? A research collaboration between University of Cincinnati's Future Mobility Design Lab, MIT City Science Lab, and 3DStreet just proved the answer is yes—and created a replicable blueprint for cities worldwide.

I'm excited to announce that our Pro Team plan is now available for organizations and universities everywhere. After years of work with public agencies, universities, and non-profit organizations, I've heard the same request over and over: make it simple to get 3DStreet Pro access for an entire team or classroom.

Today we made it happen -- for just $5,000 per year, your organization gets Pro access for up to 50 users with a straightforward activation process.

I created 3DStreet with a vision to make street design tools accessible to a wide range of folks who may not have had access to professional design software. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd offer all of our features for free, but I can't. So, the next best thing is to make these tools affordable while covering our costs.

To that end, I'm happy to announce that as of September 1, 2025 we're now offering more in our 3DStreet Pro plan, adding new cloud AI image rendering which incorporates 4 frontier image generation models and AR viewing for Android and iOS devices. Pro users now have these new cutting edge features at no additional cost.

We're excited to announce significant improvements to our free tier! Starting today, all 3DStreet users get more access to powerful features that were previously Pro-only, making it easier than ever to create compelling street visualizations.

Ever wondered what your neighborhood looked like 100 years ago? With 3DStreet's enhanced AR capabilities and AI tools like World Labs, you can now create immersive augmented reality experiences that let people walk through history. I recently used this workflow to create AR scenes of historic San Francisco for a Green Density walking tour, allowing participants to toggle between past and present views of the same location.

What You'll Create​

This tutorial will walk you through the complete process I used to create AR experiences for my Green Density walking tour, where participants could scan QR codes and see how San Francisco's landscape has evolved over time.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have:

• Transformed historic photos into 360° panoramic scenes using World Labs
• Created geospatially-positioned AR scenes in 3DStreet
• Generated QR codes for easy sharing with tour participants
• Built an engaging community experience that brings history to life

Did you know that you can realistic rendering and animations of your street scenes using free or low cost AI tools? Transform your basic 3D street designs into stunning photorealistic images and dynamic animations that will captivate stakeholders and bring your vision to life with this step-by-step guide.

In this guide, we'll walk through the complete workflow to take a 3DStreet scene from simple 3D rendering to more realistic images and animations using Black Forest Labs (BFL) and Google's Veo3 Models.

The new AI Assistant is here, and it's transforming how we create and modify street designs in 3DStreet! To help you hit the ground running with this powerful new feature, we've compiled a list of 10 essential prompts that showcase its capabilities and will help you optimize your design workflow right away.
