This free and open-source 3D motion capture tool — freemocap — has gained 9K stars on GitHub.
No professional capture equipment needed — just a few ordinary webcams.
It transforms multi-view geometry problems into computer vision tasks, using spatial calibration algorithms + deep learning models to reconstruct accurate 3D human skeleton data from 2D frames captured by multiple regular webcams.
Output results support exporting in multiple formats (including FBX, etc.), and all processing runs locally — free and open source.

@Huahuazo: While browsing GitHub, I found an eye-catching project — upload an ordinary photo, and it automatically recognizes the object's structure, proportions, and materials, directly generating a complete 3D model. Let me mention a few designs I found impressively unconventional: It comes with a "semi-finished" attribute out of the box — the generated model isn't a rigid photo texture, but includes clear hierarchy and collision body components...
Introducing the open-source project img2threejs on GitHub. Upload an ordinary photo and it automatically generates a code-based Three.js 3D model with hierarchy and collision bodies, suitable for direct use by developers and game creators.
@FinanceYF5: A Chinese open-source model can reconstruct 3D scenes in real-time from any video. Just one camera, no LiDAR needed, handles over 10,000 frames without crashing, and runs at 20fps on a single GPU. Its benchmark scores surpass traditional optimization-based methods, tested on drone aerial photography, dashcams, and indoor tours. And it's fully open-source.

@oragnes: Wow, just dug up this amazing tool map3d on GitHub! Based on OpenStreetMap, you select an area on the web page, and it automatically fetches real building and road data, rendering a 3D city model with heights in one click! The craziest part is it can directly export GLB files for use in Blender or game engines…
Introduces two open-source tools on GitHub: map3d, which automatically generates 3D city models from OpenStreetMap and exports GLB files; and Voice-Pro, a local tool integrating video download, voice separation, subtitle recognition, translation, voice cloning dubbing, and video synthesis.
@Saccc_c: This open-source 3D model project is really impressive. Yesterday I tested a CS2 butterfly knife, and today I tested a version of a Sony camera. The fidelity and level of detail are quite good. If you don't need industrial-grade 3D models, this is already very capable.
This is an open-source 3D model generation project that can generate detailed 3D models from images, such as CS2 butterfly knife and Sony camera, with realistic results.
@0xCheshire: Another open-source toolkit for converting photos to Three.js models: img2threejs. It continuously compares the rendering result with the original image to automatically calibrate reconstruction quality, especially suitable for hard-surface objects like machinery, equipment, and product casings. It seems everyone is working on similar directions. However, I'm more curious about when AI will be able to...
