What it does

Transform Your Photos Into Breathtaking 3D Prints Bring your memories to life in three dimensions. Create personalized cylindrical lamps, or a flat framed portrait. No cloud uploads, no slow web tools, and no complicated CAD software. Just drop your image, customize your dimensions, and export without limits. * 100% Offline & Private * Planar & Cylindrical Formats * Lamp Base / Mounting Cutouts

A professional desktop application for generating high-performance planar and cylindrical 3D printed lithophanes from images. Features real-time backlight simulation and watertight STL/3MF exports.

The professional desktop application for generating watertight, slice-ready planar and cylindrical lithophanes from images. Features native Rust geometry processing and real-time backlight preview simulation. Wrap images smoothly onto 3D cylinders. Set custom diameters, heights, and reinforce prints with structural rings. Generate vertical flat lithophanes with flat backing. Bend them up to custom angles for standalone tabletop displays. Interact with a glowing light bulb inside the 3D viewport. Adjust vertical height, intensity, and color temperature. Add custom base stands with built-in ventilation cutouts for light wires, and match them with tight fitting lids.

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
