    Verge3D integrates tightly with Blender/3ds Max and as such allows for creating interactive animations right in 3D modelling suite, not in the separate program like Adobe Animate. It also comes with an advanced visual programming tool.

    Verge3D is much easier to use when you need responsive 3D web content on your website. Good for prototyping as well.
