Why 3D Thunder exists
3D Thunder is a solo experiment by Enes K, testing how far current AI can go at turning a plain description into an organic, figurative 3D mesh — the kind you could actually hold and print, not just render on a screen.
Fast as lightning. Simple by design.
The name says it: 3D for the form, Thunder for the speed. The best creative tool gets out of your way and lets imagination win. 3D Thunder pairs an AI assistant (Thunder Bot) with an in-browser studio so you can describe, generate, refine, and export a model in one place.
What you can do
- Generate a 3D model from a plain-language description.
- Preview and inspect it interactively in your browser.
- Edit the surface, smooth details, and control dimensions.
- Save models to a personal collection.
- Export STL files ready for 3D printing.
Built to experiment
This is a test bed for 3D agents, not a product roadmap. A deliberate goal was to separate the 3D agent — the part that holds all the know-how of 3D mesh generation, AI, and post-processing — from the web tool itself. That separation keeps each side cleaner, safer, and easier to iterate on without breaking the other.
Under the hood, the agent combines GPT-driven image generation with a modern 3D generation model to produce the meshes. It runs as its own Python service — the FastAPI server the frontend knows as Thunder Bot — and after generation it applies post-processing adjustments to the mesh to encourage a stable, dependable result.
Under the hood
- Web studio
- Next.js, React, and TypeScript with a Material UI interface.
- 3D canvas
- Three.js, rendered live in your browser for preview and editing.
- Data & accounts
- PostgreSQL with Prisma, NextAuth sign-in, and Stripe for tokens.
- Thunder Bot agent
- A separate Python FastAPI service using GPT image generation and Python 3D mesh libraries.
Currently in testing
3D Thunder is in active testing. Results can vary, and every generation helps make the experience more reliable. Guest access lets you try it instantly — no account required.
