Buu — AI-Powered 3D Asset Creation & Animation Platform
A platform that turns text prompts or images into rigged 3D models, animations, and worlds. I owned the realtime Three.js web client end-to-end, and contributed to a GraphQL orchestration backend and an async AI generation pipeline built with the team.
Service Provided
Owning the 3D Web App, Building the Full Stack
Owned the realtime browser 3D end-to-end, and built the distributed generation backend and its AI pipelines alongside the team.
Project Objectives
Make professional 3D asset creation accessible to anyone — generating rigged models and animations from a prompt, with a scalable, queue-driven backend.
Generate 3D models from text prompts or reference images using AI mesh pipelines.
Auto-rig generated characters and produce animations directly in the browser.
Decouple long-running generation via a RabbitMQ message bus between API and AI worker.
Render and manipulate models in realtime with Three.js, React Three Fiber, and physics.
Implement a credit-based billing system with Stripe subscriptions and usage metering.
Support Web3 authentication and Solana payments via Privy wallet integration.
Iterate the product — pivoting off NFTs to a focused 3D engine, then shipping Buu-V2 and World mode.
A Distributed Three-Service System
Owned the realtime 3D web client end-to-end and contributed across a GraphQL orchestration backend and an async AI worker — coordinated over a message queue for long-running generation jobs.
