New tool generates explorable 3D worlds from single photos

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An open-source project called image-blaster uses Claude Code to transform a single photograph into an explorable 3D environment within five minutes. The tool generates 3D models of objects, a Gaussian splat of the static environment, and accompanying audio with physics-based sound effects. This output is compatible with popular game engines and 3D software, making it useful for rapid prototyping of concepts, architectural mockups, and level design. AI
