24 alternatives to Heard Google copied part of our product for IO. Want to show off first
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…

I use a ton of 3D Files as I love 3D printing in my spare time and I usually exchange them over Gmail and store them in Google Drive etc.. Google does not have a 3D Preview of files so I've built a small Google Workspace Addon that opens the file into a clean "Google like" web app that supports most files. Other solutions existed but they were full of ads and looking absolutely terrible. It got a bit of traction (around 400 users) on the store so thought I would share it here! Would love to have feedback! Each file is treated purely in the browser for maximum privacy

Hi HN, I'm excited to share a project I've built: PixelateImage.org. Instead of being a traditional image editor, this is an *AI-powered tool that generates pixel art directly from your text prompts.* If you've ever wanted to create unique pixel art characters, scenes, or assets for games, art projects, or just for fun, but perhaps lacked the specific artistic skills or time, this might be for you. My goal was to make generating retro-style or modern pixel art more accessible. You can type in a description (e.g., "a brave knight in a dark forest," "a futuristic cityscape at night," "a cute…

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…

PixelDojo▲17Hello HN! I’m excited to share PixelDojo.ai, an all-in-one generative AI studio for creators. I built PixelDojo to be a one-stop platform where you can generate images, create short videos, and even train custom AI models (LoRA fine-tunes) from your own images. The idea came about because the AI creative process felt fragmented. 10 months ago I set off on a journey to create the ultimate AI playground. A place where cutting-edge image-generation tools are easily accessible. My goal was to bring all the latest AI creativity tools under one roof so that anyone, even a “noob” with no prior…

I built VO3 (vo3.art), an AI-powered tool that transforms text or images into cinema-quality video clips—complete with native audio, perfect lip-sync, realistic motion, and lifelike human features—without any manual sound design. It leverages Google’s Veo 3 model plus extra advanced layers for unmatched realism.

GPT Image▲14Hey HN, I built a web tool that wraps the latest AI image generation models with a conversational interface. The main idea is you can iterate on images through natural dialogue instead of rewriting prompts from scratch each time. Key features I focused on: - Multi-turn editing (the AI remembers previous context) - Character/style consistency across multiple images - Multi-image fusion Not affiliated with OpenAI – the name is just a playful nod. Would love feedback from this community, especially on the UX and what features would be useful for technical users. Try it:…

My friend (designer) and I (programmer/3D enthusiast) built this as a side project after getting frustrated with existing galleries that label anything "3D" - including pre-rendered videos and static images - making it hard to find what's actually possible in the browser right now. mesh3d.gallery only lists websites doing real-time 3D with WebGL, Three.js, or similar. We hand-picked the first ~150 ourselves, and since opening submissions, users have added more, though everything still goes through us before it goes live. Tech stack used: - Next.js (I regret this decision deeply) -…

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!

one-off image/video generation is easy, but creating a cohesive story with consistent characters and locations across multiple scenes is difficult. So I am building flickspeed.ai which provides a infinite canvas with image/video/audio nodes where you can create base characters and then use it across multiple scenes. there is also an agent which assist in writing prompts Feedback, bugs, and suggestions are all welcome.

Hey everyone! We just launched Ponzu, an AI-powered prototyping tool that generates tile-able textures for your 3d models. You can give it any prompt, choose an art style, and get an interactive playground to preview and export your generated textures. What you get with Ponzu: 1. AI-generated texture assets 2. Normal, AO, specular, and displacement maps for each texture 3. Adjustable 3D previews in the browser 4. Customizable styles and shareable links We're excited to use AI to supercharge artist and dev workflows, and we're looking forward to feedback on Ponzu! Ponzu is free to use, but we…
