Everyone is releasing new products, so I’ll join in on the fun too: Let me introduce “Between the Beams and Columns”—it’s the best app about Chinese ancient architecture, now available for download in all regions worldwide on the Apple App Store.
Over the past year and a half, we’ve photographed nearly a thousand ancient Chinese buildings, but we’ve always faced one challenge: How can we better present these magnificent ancient structures to everyone? That’s how “Between the Beams and Columns” came about—we’ve combined 3D models reconstructed from real buildings, a large number of carefully shot photos, and documentary materials to help everyone better understand Chinese ancient architecture.
Now, in “Between the Beams and Columns,” you can explore high-precision 3D real-scene views, spatial points, architectural history, component explanations, murals, sculptures, inscriptions, epitaphs, and on-site details, truly stepping into an ancient building on your phone and understanding it as if you were reading a professional architectural monograph.
Every ancient building launched on “Between the Beams and Columns” has the content density to stand alone as a professional ancient architecture monograph. We shoot tens of thousands of photos on site, striving to cover every detail of a building. And we collect nearly all credible primary documents about that ancient building to write captions for these images.
Today, the first batch has gone live: Foguang Temple, Little Western Paradise, Guangsheng Upper Temple, Guangsheng Lower Temple and Water God Temple, Jindong Temple, and Nanzhen Temple. More are on the way, and by the end of next month, we should reach fifteen ancient buildings. We also hope to collaborate with more stakeholders in ancient architecture and sincerely invite more experts and scholars to join in writing documentation on ancient buildings.
The app has just launched, like a new life, growing and changing every day. We hope to get everyone’s feedback and suggestions to help it better capture the charm of Chinese ancient architecture.

@Saccc_c: Inspired by a 3D biological structure visualization that received nearly 10 million views online, I created a 3D artifact exhibition of Sanxingdui. I believe that visualization of historical artifacts has huge commercial value, because the current 3D tours produced by domestic museums are still unsatisfactory. The method is also very simple: 1. After taking a screenshot of the artifact from the Sanxingdui Museum official website, use Image 2.0 to generate a clear front view, then directly generate a 3D image in Tripo. (I bought a Tripo membership on Xianyu.) 2. Let Claude Code replicate the open-source repository of Huang Lao (@servasyy_ai), but what I need is a museum 3D browsing view. The content and style design both refer to the Sanxingdui Museum official website and the 3D images I downloaded. Huang Lao's repository: http://github.com/huangserva/3DCellForge... Now please immerse yourself in the tour:
The author used the Tripo image-to-3D service and an open-source React+Three.js 3D model studio (3DCellForge) to create a 3D exhibition of Sanxingdui artifacts, arguing for the commercial value of historical artifact visualization.
