Ponzu - AI-powered textures for 3D models

by
•

We're building Ponzu.gg, an AI-powered texture generator that makes 3D asset prototyping a breeze.

Feed Ponzu any prompt you can imagine, pick from one of our styles, and give it a spin. In seconds, you'll get tileable textures and an interactive 3D render.

Hey hunters, I’m Boyang, and over the last week and a half I’ve been working on Ponzu.gg along with my close friend and fellow gamer David. Ponzu generates tileable textures for 3D models in seconds using only your words and imagination. We’re both engineers who love games as a creative medium — we’ve tried to make games on and off in our spare time, but we consistently run into the “asset cold start problem”. Our worlds look bland and unappealing, causing us to lose motivation and drop the project. So, we built Ponzu to create plug and play textures in seconds using AI. Simply give Ponzu a prompt describing a material, choose from a set of styles, and season your world with new flavors. Here’s what you get with Ponzu: 1. AI-generated texture assets 2. Normal, AO, specular, and displacement maps for each texture 3. Adjustable 3D previews in the browser 4. Customizable styles and shareable links We built Ponzu to help developers and artists bring their ideas to life, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback! One last note: Ponzu is free to use, but we have limited capacity to run GPUs. There might be times when requests queue up and take a few seconds to process!

So awesome! Just tried it out, and it created a fantastic "grassy field with small white daisies" 😄 will be such a great tool for anyone working on 3D art/games!

Jay Team Click One, (Product Hunt) Wow this is really cool, I've never seen an app like this before. Team Ponzu, Mr. David Xu, and Boyang Niu. 你们都做得很棒,我以前从未见过这样的应用程序,对此我感到非常惊讶。. 我什至不知道从哪里开始使用该产品,甚至知道它的存在真是太好了,我迫不及待地想探索它的界面及其所有纹理。. 即使我以前从未使用过其中之一,但希望学习曲线不会那么糟糕。? 但是你们都做得很好哇,我无语了。. In English you all have done an amazing job, I've never seen an app like this before and I'm so amazed by it. I don't even know where to start on this product, it is wonderful to even know that this exists, I can't wait to explore its interface and all the textures it has. Even though I've never used one of these before, hopefully the learning curve is not that bad? but you all did a great job WOW I am speechless. I understand you all work long hours, and a lot of time away from family members and loved ones, even if you have a home based business. All the hours and dedication that went into this project, it shows how amazing and talented you all are. On behalf of Team Click One and myself, thank you for making the online world A funner place to be. We will start using Ponzu on Monday, And give feedback the following weekend. If the app runs smoothly, no bugs or anything then we will continue to use the app and base our feedback on its interface, And learning curve.
