PLAYTEX AI

From first idea to material, world, and engine.

What it does

Convert images to PBR maps, create AI textures, and browse 750+ creator-shared public texture assets with PLAYTEX AI's browser material workflow.

Generate seamless AI textures, seven-channel PBR maps, 360° HDRIs, and editable terrain worlds. Browse 750+ textures and 50+ HDRIs with PLAYTEX AI.

Generate from an idea. Turn images into seamless textures. Build every PBR channel. Create the world that lights it. PLAYTEX AI is a browser-based AI texture generator and material workflow. Generate a seamless texture from text or an image, convert one source into seven aligned PBR maps, create a 360° HDRI, assemble an editable mesh world, and package approved assets for supported 3D destinations. Start with a surface, an image, an environment, or an idea—then assemble the world and package the result for where you build. One source → seven engine-ready maps. Albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, height, AO, and emission stay aligned while you preview and tune the result. Turn a photo or…from playtex.ai

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    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…
