One protip is this site is fundamentally different from reddit. You'll find a greater concentration of intellectuals here. Fewer "drive by shooters" if you know what I mean. And it's much more tightly policed. Stay on to

My belief is it'll get better over time with organic shapes as LLMs improve their ability to synthesize higher order differentials. I also believe the future may not be coded 3D everywhere, but a mix of code and dumb 3D. But I'm n

Agreed. I think you'll be interested in seeing this: https://app.nova3d.xyz/showcase

Whoa super cool, you guys got the patent too. I hope there's no cease and desist in my future lol (kidding..... not kidding).

This is super interesting. Especially the high-level language > STEP/BRep lowering. Tt feels very complementary to the mesh path we're exploring and potentially the right backend when exact solids matter. I feel your SDF conclu

The current output is polygon meshes + the source code. So technically "surfaces", rather than CAD/B-rep solids. Many parts are closed volumes, but we don't claim manufacturing-grade solid geometry. This paper is focused

Would love to compare notes. It's compiler-shaped rn. The generated code is the source and Blender is the current build target. Python directs Blender's native geometry operations only. I also already generate UVs from the coded m

The parts are originally defined in code, not stored as point clouds. That code builds the geometry using primitives, curves, custom mesh operations and sometimes CSG/booleans. When executed in Blender, the final exported GLB contains

Thanks for that feedback. rn I've been chasing editability over runtime. the ~50 parts are basically the source code representation, not necessarily what should ship. since you get the code as well as the glb, my thinking is you should

There’s overlap in spirit, but we’re not trying to replace the precision of Fusion/SolidWorks. the idea is that an agent writes an editable 3D program from your prompt/reference, including geometry, parts and eventually behavior.

Try the blender plugin. It's got full BYOK: https://github.com/RareSense/Nova3D/releases/tag/blender-plu... Sorry I got more traction on Blender and haven't integrated BYOK on the app. P.s. the

I see what you're doing. If you use the blender plugin, you'll get BYOK: https://github.com/RareSense/Nova3D/releases/tag/blender-plu... With the app, I haven't added BYOK yet. I guess I s

I agree. AI does not solve "product market fit". It mostly solves engineering. Currently AI is great as a tool, but not really a co-creator with taste.

IMO, it's like asking: do you feel comfortable admitting you used a calculator instead of doing mental math?

The marginal payoff from incremental innovation produces lesser and lesser endorphins as we age. They increasingly become a smaller part of our experiences. And btw, by and large, this happens to every feeling, not just excitement from tech

I co-authored this paper. It's a new technique to generate 3D graphics as source code instead of a point cloud. Under the hood, it generates 3D objects with separate, sophisticated internal assembly, producing an editable "kit of

It could, by bringing better customer service. However, the decentralization aspect of the real thing is very intriguing for me. I wonder if there's a way to standardize this service offering while keeping decentralization in its core

It's almost like a decentralized door dash. Unfortunate that it's going away.

The 'tokenmaxxing' trend is probably the more inane ideas emanating out of this whole AI wave. It goes in the opposite direction of efficiency and productivity maximization. Yet, it has wide acceptance.
