Show HN: image-3D – a web component for 3D images
- mnorris 5mo agoI'm Michael. I built https://mukba.ng https://mukba.ng because I felt like 3D creation tools were too complicated. All of the Gaussian Splat embeds that I see on the web require you to create a Gaussian Splat first, and then embed it. I thought, what if we could just turn every photo on the web into 3D. I built a web component that turns any image URL into an interactive 3D embed. Drag to rotate, pinch to zoom. Install in two lines: <script src="https://mukba.ng/image-3d/embed.js https://mukba.ng/image-3d/embed.js" defer></script> <image-3d src="/your-photo.jpg"></image-3d> The component fetches from a Cloudflare Worker that either returns a cached Gaussian Splat or generates one on the spot. Splats are ~5 MB, but have a 15 KB preview mesh that you can interact with while it streams in on slower connections. Works with any image URL.

- mnorris 5mo agoTLDR; I accidentally allowlisted only my domains, so no one else was able to generate <image-3d> I was testing this on my own domains and it was working, so I wrongly assumed that no one was trying this. But I do see quite a few failures which will hopefully succeed now. But I made an allowlist for only my domains yesterday that rejects everything not on the list, and forgot to toggle OFF the switch I built that opens it up to everyone. Anyway, happy hacking and if anyone else stops in and tries this out and it fails or succeeds let me know.
