Can you use autodesk model derivatives api with the models stored in your own database?

Question

I am working on a project where the user has an ability to upload both pictures and 3D models. I definitely want to have the pictures stored in my own backend without using Autodesk platform services. I am wondering if I can do the same for the models, while also utilizing the conversion features of the derivatives api?

Answer 1

Unfortunately Model Derivative cannot run out side of Autodesk Servers so you will need to upload the data, get it processed there.
