why does it matter how it works? Either it works and people pay for it or it doesn't. Does every company owe you, the end user, an explanation on how their product works? While you're at it, maybe you can get all the secret recipes.

Kind of odd that you made your account just now and all you've done is respond vehemently to criticism of this website.

Sometimes, marcellus, people like to support other people when they build something.

Ive been in positions to know how much words can affect.

Constructive Criticism— questioning- and unnecessary sprouting due to underlying self-issues are very different things, marcellus.

Are you OP's mom or something?

that crazy to support someone you relate to and came across, regardless of when, nowadays now?

Bestbuy is full of equipment with Blender in name. How they do it?

Could do without the frantic animation, whatever that is for.

Not to be "that guy"... but the negativity seems pretty "requited" to me. I mean, given the tone of your comment.

You have 3 different people telling you you might want to reconsider your posting. Time to touch grass, my dude.

So we don't get another Theranos grift if this eventually raises money from private investors?

What's the technical underpinning of this? Is this a novel prompt to 3D technique or is this a user interface on something preexisting?

I’d hazard a guess that this is using the Microsoft Trellis [0] open source project released last week. You can download the weights and the code right now, just need an Nvidia GPU with at least 16GB vram. I saw people doing this manually on X last Friday, using FLUX diffusion model -> Trellis -> Blender [0] https://trellis3d.github.io/

Yeah I figure it's that too. When you look at the miniature generated before the actual 3D model, it looks like something generated with another tool which is fed to the 3D generation AI.

Is this based on trellis?

That seems to be the main part of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42400537

Is this just a wrapper around the Microsoft project released a few days ago? https://trellis3d.github.io/
