GLB2PNG – Screenshot API for GLB/glTF 3D Models

Hey fellow hackers! I’m the creator of the GLB 2 PNG screenshot API: https://www.flowkit.app/glb2png I aimed to create a fast and easy-to-use API to create screenshots/renderings of 3D models. Example: https://www.flowkit.app/s/demo/r/rh:-45,rv:15,s:512/u/https:... This URL renders a 3D model (specified at the end of the link) with: - -45° horizontal rotation - 15° vertical rotation - 512px size Feel free to tweak these values in the URL and see the results! Use cases where this could be valuable: - Configurators: Generate images or thumbnails for different material variations or add-ons (my background). - Marketplaces: Automate the rendering process for uploaded 3D files. - IP Protection: Safeguard your 3D files by displaying only rendered images. - AI Integration: Combine with APIs like OpenAI’s Vision API to categorize or analyze 3D files. Thanks for reading! I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions from the HN community
