Open-source tool turns one image into full 3D environments in minutes

A new open-source tool called image-blaster converts a single 2D image into a complete 3D environment, complete with meshes, Gaussian splats, and sound effects in under five minutes. Built around Claude with World Labs and FAL integrations, the workflow requires cloning the repo, installing Claude, entering API keys, and dropping an image into the input directory.

The tool chains together multiple models: World Labs Marble generates explorable environments, Hunyuan 3D creates object meshes, and ElevenLabs produces ambient audio and physics-based SFX. Output includes .glb, .obj, .spz, and .mp3 files, with configurable polygon counts, PBR materials, and low-poly options.

Targeting game devs, architects, and anyone needing quick 3D assets, image-blaster supports Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender, Maya, and Three.js pipelines. It can populate a fully meshed environment from a single reference image with minimal manual work.
