Show HN: My tool generates 3D objects composed of separate, functional parts (github.com)

5 points by baigy ↗ HN
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.

We have recently added ai edit feature that can alter or create new parts in existing obj based on natural language input

This could be a game changer in manufacturing industry where mm scale control is required

Nice job. But could use some clarification:

> The tool is free, but you'll have to BYOK.

I'm a bit confused by this statement considering on the repo it also says it has to communicate with a 3rd party, nova3d.xyz API.

So is it actually self-hostable or is it only that the frontend client is open sourced and the backend responsible for building the model is proprietary?
