We Built an AI Tool to Create High-Quality 3D Models from Regular Videos
Hey HN/Reddit, We're a team of AI researchers passionate about simplifying 3D modeling. We've built an easy-to-use tool that generates detailed, high-quality 3D models directly from regular videos. We are now opening up this tool for preview.
Just upload your video, and we'll deliver a 3D model file that's ready to embed, view, or edit. Our approach is fast, cloud-based, and removes the hassle of complex photogrammetry setups.
Originally, we built this as an internal experiment with neural radiance fields and mesh extraction techniques. However, we noticed people across industries like e-commerce, gaming, digital twins, and virtual production struggling with cumbersome workflows involving multiple tools. So we decided to share our tool to help streamline these processes.
Right now, we're looking to collaborate closely with early users who have compelling use cases. If you're currently spending hours with painful pipelines—or juggling multiple software tools—we’d love to help simplify your workflow.
Try it out here: https://unrealizex.com
To discuss your use case or brainstorm together, book a quick chat here: https://calendly.com/unrealizex3d/30min
Quick Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX_8Sg19PXE
We're eager for your thoughts, feedback, and challenging questions—especially about your ideal use cases or persistent issues in your existing 3D workflows. You can join the AI for 3D discord community at https://discord.gg/c29cY9mbwt.

Ask HN: Lambda Labs 390x bill
Hi HN,
I signed up to lamda labs because I wanted to try their GH200 instance which I couldn't in Google Colab.
I started the instance, went inside Jupyter and played with it, forgot about it.
Now they hit me with a $583 bill:
,,your account had a running 1xGH200 instance attached to it from 3/9/2025 through to 3/25/2025, for a total of 391.32 hours of usage totaling $583.06. Lambda does not distinguish between idle and in use instance states, so any time that a running instance is attached to a customer's account will be billed for.''
I told them that it was a mistake and I didn't even log into the instance, just tried some models from Huggingface for 1 hour, but it seems like they genualy don't care of 390x overbilling me.
I asked them whether other people who just tried them had this problem and suggested them to auto-stop instances and limit them by default, but the support person hasn't answered this.
They seem like a very shady company for this amount of overbilling. I can of course tell this to my bank and issue a charge back, but is there some other way to handle this? I wouldn't have had problem paying a few hours more than my usage, but this bill looks outrageous to me for the amount of compute I used.

Ask HN: How do these tariffs affect Apple iPhone?
In the case where Apple is avoiding the US tax man by registering the company in Ireland and claiming that all its intellectual property is owned by its Irish subsidiary, how do these new tariffs affect Apple? Will Apple have to raise the iPhone price in US price by 10% to pay the taxman? Because now technically it is an Irish product being imported into the US. In that case, can I just buy a new iPhone on my next visit to …say, Dubai duty free lounge?

Show HN: PythonECG – A minimal real-time ECG visualization tool
I built a lightweight Python application that visualizes audio input as an ECG-like display. It's a simplified, open-source tool designed for educational purposes, signal visualization experiments, and prototyping. No commercial restrictions, just a clean interface with a single button to start/stop tracing. Built with PyAudio, Matplotlib, and Tkinter. Looking for feedback and contributions!
