3DThe Gundam Base Vietnam – Awakening an Old Passion
A 3D designer revisits Gunpla at THE GUNDAM BASE POP-UP WORLD TOUR in Ho Chi Minh City. From part separation and joint mechanics to tooling, injection molding, and mass production, this article explores Gunpla as a remarkable example of industrial and 3D product design.
Digital TwinWhat Is a Digital Twin? A Complete 2026 Guide to How It Works, Its History, Use Cases, and Differences from the Metaverse and Simulation
A practical guide to digital twins covering their history, architecture and use cases in manufacturing, cities, construction, healthcare and aviation. It also explains how they differ from simulations, the metaverse and CPS, and why effective twins do not always require 3D graphics.
3DWhat Is 3D Tiles? A Complete Guide to Its Core Concepts, Latest Trends, and Use Cases
3D Tiles is an open standard for streaming massive 3D geospatial data. This guide explains HLOD, bounding volumes, tileset.json, differences between versions 1.0 and 1.1, use cases including PLATEAU and Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, and independent LOD control in CesiumJS.
AI Development7 AI Image-to-3D Generators I Tested in 2026: Which One Is Actually Worth Using?
Using the same portrait and default settings, we tested Prism 3.1, Meshy 6, Tripo P1, Hunyuan3D, Forge, Trellis 2 and Rodin 2.5. See how they compare in facial similarity, texture, hair, clothing and mesh quality, plus which tools work best for realism, game assets and further editing.
Product DevelopmentGLB Texture Editor: Edit 3D Model Textures and Materials in Real Time in Your Browser
GLB Texture Editor is a browser-based tool for editing 3D model textures and materials in real time. Upload a GLB file, adjust base color, roughness, metalness, transparency, UV mapping, position, rotation, scale, and projection settings, then preview and export the updated model.
Digital TwinHigh-Performance Web BIM Viewer for Large IFC Models
This PoC converts large IFC models into optimized GLB files by BIM category for faster browser rendering. It demonstrates flexible layer controls, element data panels, smooth 3D navigation, and reduced z-fighting, while outlining a future automated IFC-to-GLB workflow.
AI DevelopmentAutomatically Generate 3D Models by Inferring Noisy Floor Plans! A Challenge in CubiCasa5K Analysis and Reverse Engineering
Using only floor plan images and SVG annotations—and without reading the official paper or code—the author reverse-engineered CubiCasa5K. The article covers semantic segmentation, random-rotation augmentation, inference of an incomplete sauna door, and conversion of the final result into a 3D model.
AI Development3D Avatar from One Photo with FLAME, DECA and DiffLocks
