Nova3D

I've noticed all 3D AI generators create monlithic blobs that are impossible to edit. So, alongwith a friend, I built this project where you can generate 3D objects with separate, editable parts. I'm looking for community feedback. The tool is free, but you'll have to BYOK. It uses models like Gemini, Claude or chatGPT to generate a Blender construction script. Basically the output is not merely geometry. It's the procedure that built it, plus the asset itself. This means you can actually go in and edit the "kit of parts" afterwards, instead of starting over.

What it does

Most 3D AI generators make monolithic, uneditable blobs. Nova3D generates 3D objects made of separate, editable parts. It accepts text and image inputs. Try our open-source client on GitHub for free.

Code-native 3D generation: assets are executable programs, not opaque meshes. Nova3D generates 3D assets as executable construction procedures . Instead of emitting a single fused mesh, the pipeline writes Blender-native Python that compiles to a structured GLB with named, separately addressable parts , a real assembly hierarchy, joint pivots, and PBR materials. The asset's source of truth is the program; the mesh is just its compiled output. Because anything coded is programmable, every generated object is born inspectable, addressable, editable, and animatable ; properties a baked mesh cannot natively expose. This is architecturally different from diffusion-based generators (Meshy, Tripo,…from github.com

  • Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
