🌐 How to build interactive 3D websites from images

The Rundown: In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to turn any image idea into a functional 3D website using ChatGPT for image generation, Hunyuan 3D for model conversion, and AI coding tools for web development.
Step-by-step:
Use ChatGPT to generate your image: “Create a 3D image model of a [object] with a white background”
Convert to 3D model using Hunyuan 3D 2.1 on Hugging Face.
Upload the GLB file to your AI coding tool and prompt: “Create a [website type] that rotates the 3D model on the X axis when the user scrolls down”
Refine with follow-up prompts: “Enhance the UI and make it more modern”
An easy way to lower rates. Want to help your loved one with college costs? Co-signing a loan can be a great way to do just that. You'll be helping them unlock lower rates and get better approval odds. Plus, lenders like College Ave offer co-signed release after a set number of on-time payments, meaning your obligation doesn't have to be forever.
