A browser-based AI workbench that turns a single image into a textured PBR 3D asset, then lets users inspect, optimize, and export it as a GLB.

Why it surfaced

TRELLIS 3D treats generation as the beginning of a workflow: users can inspect base color, roughness, metallic, opacity, normals, wireframe, and geometry before choosing targets for web, games, mobile, product presentation, or 3D printing. The site also acknowledges that AI-generated meshes may need post-processing, which gives its polished AI promise a useful dose of production reality.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
