Seed3D – Generate Physics-Ready 3D Models with Millimeter Precision
I built Seed3D, a next-generation 3D reconstruction and modeling tool that turns 2D inputs into solid, physics-ready 3D models — with millimeter precision, physically accurate PBR materials, and export formats ready for any major engine. Unlike traditional photogrammetry or AI mesh tools, Seed3D doesn’t fake geometry with normal maps — it reconstructs real surfaces, edges, and micro-details for simulation-grade accuracy and realism. What it does • Generates watertight polygonal meshes with crisp, true geometry • Outputs full PBR texture sets (albedo, roughness, metalness, normal, AO) •…

What it does • Generates watertight polygonal meshes with crisp, true geometry • Outputs full PBR texture sets (albedo, roughness, metalness, normal, AO) • Delivers 6K textures that hold up in extreme close-ups • Ensures physics-stable topology for simulations and collisions • Exports USD/USDZ, FBX, and GLTF — compatible with Omniverse, Unity, and Unreal Engine Who it’s for • Embodied AI and robotics researchers • Game, XR, and VFX developers • Product visualization and digital twin creators • Simulation and graphics educators Try the Seed3D 3D model generator here: https://www.seed3d.xyz/ Would love feedback from the HN community — especially on fidelity, physics performance, and engine integration.

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…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
