I'm Michael. I built https://mukba.ng because I felt like 3D creation tools were too complicated.

All of the Gaussian Splat embeds that I see on the web require you to create a Gaussian Splat first, and then embed it. I thought, what if we could just turn every photo on the web into 3D.

I built a web component that turns any image URL into an interactive 3D embed. Drag to rotate, pinch to zoom. Install in two lines:

<script src="https://mukba.ng/image-3d/embed.js" defer></script>

<image-3d src="/your-photo.jpg"></image-3d>

The component fetches from a Cloudflare Worker that either returns a cached Gaussian Splat or generates one on the spot. Splats are ~5 MB, but have a 15 KB preview mesh that you can interact with while it streams in on slower connections.

Works with any image URL.

TLDR; I accidentally allowlisted only my domains, so no one else was able to generate <image-3d>

I was testing this on my own domains and it was working, so I wrongly assumed that no one was trying this. But I do see quite a few failures which will hopefully succeed now.

But I made an allowlist for only my domains yesterday that rejects everything not on the list, and forgot to toggle OFF the switch I built that opens it up to everyone.

Anyway, happy hacking and if anyone else stops in and tries this out and it fails or succeeds let me know.
