SHENZHEN — As the Year of the Horse approached, a different kind of "gallop" was underway inside a sprawling workshop in Shenzhen, a major tech hub in South China's Guangdong province. Shelves there were lined with hundreds of humming 3D printers, and technician Yang Shengwu moved among the machines, preparing them to produce yet another batch of Chinese New Year products.
In the 1980s, printing first broke free from the constraints of 2D with the construction of the world’s earliest 3D printers. Enabling the creation of physical objects from digital files, 3D printing ...
Hi HN, I'm Narek. I built Manim-Web, a TypeScript/JavaScript port of 3Blue1Brown’s popular Manim math animation engine.The Problem: Like many here, I love Manim's visual style. But setting it up locally is notoriously painful - it requires Python, FFmpeg, Cairo, and a full LaTeX distribution. It creates a massive barrier to entry, especially for students or people who just want to quickly visualize a concept.The Solution: I wanted to make it zero-setup, so I ported the engine to T
Hi HN, I built TuneJourney.com, a web app that lets you explore ~70k radio stations worldwide via a 3D globe. While sites like Radio Garden are great for discovery, I wanted to build something that functioned more like a modern media player with automation—specifically, the ability to automatically skip a station when it switches from music to talking or ads.The Unique Part: In-Browser ML The core feature is an "AI Skip Talk." Instead of processing audio on a server, it uses the Web Au
I like to print, but I'm no artist. So I though of turning the full pipeline of my text -> concept images -> 3D mesh -> postprocess for the specific 3D printing workflow -> order it online into a nice UI. You can obv. also just download the STL and print it yourself!
Hi HN,I’m the creator of SynapsCAD, an open-source desktop application I've been building that combines an OpenSCAD code editor, a real-time 3D viewport, and an AI assistant.You can write OpenSCAD code, compile it directly to a 3D mesh, and use an LLM (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, ...) to modify the code through natural language.Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN8a5UozS5QA bit about the architecture:- It’s built entirely in Rust.- The UI and 3D viewport are powered by
I built a small Cython + OpenMP library for resampling 3D volumes (medical images, etc.). It's an almost drop-in replacement for torch.nn.functional.interpolate and grid_sample, but runs on NumPy arrays and doesn't require PyTorch.Benchmarks (Intel i7, 4 cores, PyTorch 2.8.0):resample 512³→256³ trilinear: 34 ms vs 55 ms (1.6×) area mode: 65 ms vs 613 ms (9.5×) — PyTorch doesn't parallelize this well int16 nearest: 8 ms vs 93 ms (11×) — PyTorch has no native int16 path (even 13x on
Hi HN,I built an open-source Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) environment to explore topology optimization for elastocaloric cooling (solid-state HVAC).The physical problem: The HVAC industry is trying to replace toxic HFC refrigerants with elastocaloric Shape Memory Alloys like Nitinol. You cool a room by cyclically compressing a porous metal lattice. The paradox is that you need high porosity for air to flow through the metal, but holes create stress concentrators. If the metal is too thin,

Imagine a robot moving into your home. How would it change your daily life? Historian Emily Kate Genatowski shares five eye-opening lessons from a year living with her AI-powered robot roommate, from the quirky and chaotic to the surprisingly mundane. Her experiences show that the future of robots isn’t science fiction — it’s practical, messy an...
LESAGE ARCHIVES is an immersive video installation created to celebrate the centenary of Maison Lesage. We 3D-scanned ten embroidery samples that have marked the history of the Maison. Ten haiku-like visual landscapes where viewers are enveloped by the Lesage embroidery. A second version of the installation is currently on view at the Mori Art Museum , Tokyo, on display until October 20 as part of the exhibition : “Chanel presents the Galerie du 19M Tokyo ” Director: Romain Cieutat Post-produ
Sharing the final presentation of my Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B project, created during my Advanced Master in Environment Modeling and 3D Production at Animum Creativity Advanced School.In this video, you’ll find the final beauty renders from different angles, along with clay, and wireframe turntables to better show the structure and surface work behind the model.I approached this project with a production mindset, focusing on clean topology, accurate proportions, and smooth surface transitions. A lot
This project showcases a high-end 3D visualization of a boutique mini-hotel located on the coast of Montenegro. The goal was to create a compelling visual presentation for potential investors and future guests, highlighting the unique architecture, functional guest areas, and the Mediterranean atmosphere. Key Features: Exterior & Landscape: Detailed 3D rendering of the hotel building, terrace zones, and surrounding landscape. Immersive Walkthrough: A 4K cinematic animation that guides the view
This lyrics video includes both 2D and 3D elements. I was responsible for animating all 2D elements and handling the animation of existing 3D assets. The 3D modeling and 3D animation were created by another artist

Recentemente, uma postagem parou a internet brasileira. Um vídeo produzido pelo trio @asteroide.tv + @somosbogota.tv + @canja.audio lançava a marca de ovos GracyOvos, uma linha exclusiva de ovos de luxo. Tudo não passava de uma jogada de marketing brilhante do melhor cliente do mundo: o @canvabrasil . O engajamento foi desde elogios por extasiados coaches de marketing até críticas ao capitalismo por furiosos influencers. A peça ganhou várias paródias, como a do @govbr divulgando o fim de tarifas
