I built a new type of AI tool; it generates 3D objects composed of their constituent parts (instead of the monolithic solid blobs all 3D AI generators produce).

Summary

A new AI tool generates 3D objects by generating code, resulting in objects with separate, functional parts rather than monolithic blobs. It is free and open-source on GitHub.

The video shows a washing machine with separate, functional internal parts. It's even shown animated, because of accurate internal hinge and socket design. This is a new technique compared to how AI is currently used to generate 3D objects. State of the art 3D generators like Meshy or Tripo operate as if molding a 3D shape out of clay. In contrast, my technique does not generate a 3D shape at all. It generates code - which in turn runs, generating the 3D object you see. A byproduct of that approach is getting a 3D object with separate, functional parts (which is what we actually wanted). The project is free and on github: [https://github.com/RareSense/Nova3D](https://github.com/RareSense/Nova3D) **Some generated examples:** \- Boston Dynamics-style robot dog: [https://imgur.com/a/CqMYgrF](https://imgur.com/a/CqMYgrF) \- Microwave (random, but shows part separation well): [https://imgur.com/a/hIqIJdr](https://imgur.com/a/hIqIJdr) \- Internal assembly generation: [https://imgur.com/a/JxDZ7Wd](https://imgur.com/a/JxDZ7Wd) Would love to hear feedback.

I built a tool that generates 3D objects assembled with separate, logical parts (e.g. it generated a microwave in the video with complete internal assembly and a door that swings open)

A new open-source tool called Nova3D uses an LLM to generate 3D objects with separate logical parts (e.g., a microwave with internal assembly and a swinging door), unlike monolithic AI generators. It writes Blender Python code to create clean, modular GLB exports suitable for animation and editing.

A tool I built to generate 3D objects with functional, articulated parts. It's on github, and is mostly LLM-agnostic.

A developer built a pipeline that uses an LLM as a structured code compiler to generate Blender Python code, producing 3D objects with functional, articulated parts instead of monolithic meshes. The tool is open-source and LLM-agnostic.

I built a 2.5D visual compiler for AI agents: It separates topology from geometry so LLMs stop generating spaghetti diagrams.
