I built an all-in-one virtual production platform for indies
After being frustrated with the budget and learning curve requirements of the big names in the Virtual Production field, I decided to create my own all-in-one platform designed with beginners and less-technical folk in mind. It takes complicated tasks in other engines (tracking, compositing, floor plans, etc.) and makes them two-click solutions. And, with the free companion mobile app, you can track cameras, scan your sets, and (coming soon) do full body motion capture! There's a ton more features that I'm super proud of, and I'm open to any and all feedback! Thanks!

In plain words
SceneForge is an all-in-one virtual production platform designed for independent creators and non-technical users. It simplifies complex tasks like camera tracking, compositing, and floor planning into straightforward two-click operations. The platform includes a free companion mobile app for camera tracking, set scanning, and motion capture functionality. Built to lower both the financial and technical barriers of traditional virtual production software, SceneForge targets filmmakers and creators seeking accessible production tools.

I completed shipping my desktop app2025 · pimosa.app · ▲526Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years. I had made so many useless apps [you should check my website https://ansh.life], but this time I built a very useful product that has a number of super easy-to-use tools in one app for video, music, and photo files. Users can compress, convert, resize, and do so much more with easy-to-use tools. Background: I developed a frame-by-frame video cropper to upload cropped landscape videos to Instagram Reels. However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…
- IBI built an idea to video app2024 · frameloop.ai · ▲8
Frameloop is an AI-powered video creation and automation tool, that turns ideas into publishable videos within seconds. I've been working on this for past 4 months now, and have few paying customers as well. Most of them are individual creators, and about 20% are businesses. I'd like to focus more on business users going forwards, and am building branded video features for businesses. There are many other tools at this point, but my focus has been to focus on great UX, and giving users a really good first draft, which is easily editable. And I think that focus is what differentiates us. Try…
I Made Loom for MobileDec 2025 · demoscope.app · ▲69Hi everyone, I made this app Demo Scope lets you record or stream any mobile website with your face on screen and touch indicators showing every tap. I built it because I needed to demo my own side projects and hated the OBS/desktop setup. Load your site in the app, hit record, done. Or stream straight to Twitch/YouTube. Free to try: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/demo-scope/id6755395174 Would love feedback if anyone tries it. I made a landing site centered around mobile demos for professional projects, but my main use case honestly has been Twitch…
- ARA rudimentary game engine to build four dimensional VR evironments2025 · brainpaingames.com · ▲39
I think it's finally time to lock version 0.2 of my 4d side project. (Since previous Show HN a couple of years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37100760 I scrapped lots of stuff and concentrated on making a javascript "game engine") The sole purpose of this project is to explore whether it's possible to make the human brain spatially aware of four dimensions using Virtual Reality. It’s my first ever game project, my first time using Unity, first time writing C#, and my first anything with WebXR, so please be gentle! To manage expectations, it isn't visually pleasing…

Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
