What a masterclass on startup building at speed with AI

Gm Build things that survive contact with reality.

Roblox map built in minutes. The pipeline matters more than the tool.

Real-time changes what people are willing to build.

The biggest advantage isn’t talent or timing. It’s staying in the game long enough for things to compound.

We ignored the market when building our 3D AI model. No feature lists. No benchmarks. Just first principles. AI isn’t the product. It’s the compression layer between intent and execution. 3,000+ customers in 28 days. Not hype. Real value.

This is Julian 5.0 by Threedium. Single image → production-usable mesh. Sharper edges. Cleaner topology. Much closer to the original concept. Took it straight into Blender — fully editable. Same asset, same control in Threedium Workspace. No lock-in. Retopo is a solid first

Every new medium starts as an object. Then a tool. Then a system. 3D on the web is at that transition. The shift: tools adapt to intent, not the other way around. You shape outcomes, not rules. 3D stops being placed on the web. It starts living on it.

The model translates intent into a structured 3D state — not a static mesh. It outputs editable geometry, constraints, and appearance logic that remain addressable and reversible over time. In short: it doesn’t generate 3D assets. It compiles intent into a controllable 3D

Shan Lowkey future of modeling here

Shan It’s 3D you can manipulate, not just look at

I believe 3D foundation models shouldn’t be “coming soon”. They should already be usable. That’s why we built them at Threedium. Production-grade. Live today. Free to start. Multimodal is coming next: image, video, and agent models, deeply integrated with our 3D core. One

Most AI 3D models fail after generation. They look great until you: – open them in Blender – try to edit topology – push them into Unreal or Unity This one survives that step. That’s the bar.

This video shows our AI model running inside Studio. Not a final result, but something you can actually work with. Edit it, iterate, export to Blender, Unreal or Unity, and keep going. Generating 3D is easy. Keeping control while you iterate is the hard part.

Julian 5.5 is learning to see structure first. Same character. Different versions of Julian. Evolving wireframes. 5.5 is the most promising so far. Something new coming soon.

A better way to create 3D assets. Start with an image. End with a model ready for real-world engines and workflows.

We just built a full Prop Hunt map in Fortnite using Threedium end to end. All assets were generated with our AI model JulianNXT, refined in Studio, then exported straight into Unreal for UEFN. Real, editable, game-ready production.

Quick video showing our Magic Brush in action. A simple way to edit and shape 3D directly inside Threedium Studio. Fast iteration, no heavy tooling.

A single product image → a usable 3D foundation. From there you can generate: • Any-angle product visuals • Color/material variants • Catalog-scale imagery for eCommerce + marketing All editable inside Threedium Workspace. Product content is shifting from produced →

Any product. Any angle. Generated in 3D.
