24 alternatives to 3D and World Models for Consistent AI Filmmaking
I've been a photons-on-glass filmmaker for over ten years, and I've been developing ArtCraft for myself, my friends, and my colleagues. All of my film school friends have a lot of ambition, but the production pyramid doesn't allow individual talent to shine easily. 10,000 students go to film school, yet only a handful get to helm projects they want with full autonomy - and almost never at the blockbuster budget levels that would afford the creative vision they want. There's a lot of nepotism, too. AI is the personal computer moment for film. The DAW. One of my friends has done rotoscoping…

X-Pilot▲328Hi HN, I'm Heshan, founder of X-Pilot. We're building an AI Video Generator for online courses and educational content. Unlike most text-to-video generator that render videos directly from models (which often produce random stock footage unrelated to the actual content), we take a code-first approach: generate editable code layers, let users verify/refine them, then render to video. The Problem We're Solving Most AI video generators treat "education" and "marketing" the same—they optimize for "looks good" rather than "logically accurate." When you feed a technical tutorial or course…

I just heard from a very reputable source that Google built part of our product and that they're about to show it off at Google IO. We built a 3D film tool called ArtCraft: https://getartcraft.com https://github.com/storytold/artcraft (our monorepo with the desktop app, server, and website code) Our 3D virtual film set enables set decoration, location reuse, precision blocking (control over where things are), character posing, etc. Sets and objects can be generated as meshes or gaussian splats. Autoregressive multimodal models can treat input "previz" style…

Hi HN, I built a native macOS app for AI image generation, originally for my own creative work. I enjoy working with models like Z-Image and FLUX, but many existing tools feel closer to research interfaces than creative tools. They expose a lot of power, but often interrupt creative flow. This project is built around a creator-first workflow: - Easy to get started, with no configuration beyond downloading or importing models - Progressive controls: advanced options are available, but not required - A built-in prompt library to save, reuse, and evolve prompts over time - Lightweight prompt…

I’ve spent the last month or so hacking on a prototype to let filmmakers make concept art more quickly with recent generative image tools. This is very much a beta—with current functionality you can make projects, generate shots, and upload scripts which we can process into shotlists. Features I’m working on as we speak: character consistency, location consistency, framing and composing shots. Let me know what you think or what else I should build!

Hey everyone! Excited to share Scene with you! We spent hours investigating the intricacies of how people create websites. We focussed primarily on collaboration: what it looks like when teammates with different areas of expertise work together to build a site. We did a deep dive into how designers and marketers work today, and how they envision working in the future. AI will be a big part of that future. But AI is not here to replace the web design process. We know designers don't fully trust creations made entirely by AI—and why should they? Instead, AI is here to lend a helping hand. It…

Hi HN, we’re Peter, Monica, Elliot, and Alex from Iterate.World. We’re building a multiplayer AI image generator. Check it out here: https://iterate.world We’ve become obsessed with generative AI. In the last year it feels like “AI” went from highly specialized, domain specific rankers and classifiers to intelligent feeling creative tools that we can build more general apps around. While the models are incredible, it still feels like day 0 for applications and interface. Our vision is to build an accessible progressive disclosure interface that lets beginners make great images then…
