I made an AI tool to create customizable 3D animated icons

Hacker News

Hello everyone, I built lavicon.dev, an AI-powered web tool that enables users to create customizable 3D animated icons quickly and effortlessly. Designing 3D animated icons often requires specialized software and a steep learning curve. I aimed to simplify this process by providing an accessible platform where anyone can generate high-quality icons without prior design experience. Lavicon lets you export your creations as transparent static images (PNG, SVG) or animated files (GIF), all optimized for fast web performance. A dedicated sprite component also allows seamless export as sprite sheets for use in games or interactive apps. I'm eager to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or any issues you encounter. Your feedback will be invaluable in improving the tool. Thanks for checking it out!
