I'm Pablo, an architect from Colombia with 20+ years of archviz experience. Taking a design from sketch to final plans meant a messy maze of software & licenses.
I built ex3d.com to fix this: one app for drafting, modeling, & rendering. Try it!

Here's a @threejs pond made with #threejs featuring threejs.

@threejs ...aaand path traced.

Making improvements on the terrain & grass engine. Still 90% of work ahead on that end. I'll deploy those advancements on ex3d.com tonight!

And all of this is only leveraged by a 20$ Claude Subscription I share with my wife smartly used.

I will set the launch date for some time in the middle of February. My son will be born that month so I want to make it very special.

I intend to change that! Imagine all those programs in a single app. You can do that now with ex3d.com.

A few weeks ago @autodesk sent us a license audit.

Within 24 hours, we had our own BIM tool running.

1.5 million views later, we want to open source it.

But an MEP firm can't build architecture, structural, fire, and civil the way you need them built.

If we get real in each of those disciplines, we'll do it.

Contractors, trades, developers, investors, licensed professionals. If you're cracked and you know how buildings actually get funded, designed, built, and operated, you're a good fit. Honestly, a blend of background is ideal, but we need that specialized domain knowledge.

We're not building another BIM tool.

We're making the whole design process real-time and collaborative, across every discipline, and preparing the foundations of vibe coding for AEC.

SaaS was never going to give us that. So we're building it.

@PermitZIP plans to be prompting 100% of our drawings into existence by Q2 2027.

We're a small business, but we've been building our own software since 2021.

Founding contributors get a look under the hood at how we wired it all up.

Help build the tools, and you and your firm get there with us.

If enough of you raise your hand, we'll open a private registration for founding contributors.

@Autodesk, want in? Could actually be fun!

Can #Revit render this image on a 7 year old Iphone 11 with a @WebGPU path tracer and still do architectural plans? ex3d.com can.

Tweaking the EX3DPathTracer and overall viewport performance. Right now the m5 ipad is performing better than my 5090 lol. Also added some cool lens gestures on mobile.

Making @bot control gemini is hilarious now i can make slop at twice the speed. @mrdoob

This is what it feels to dial in the modeling system to finally make a faithful copy of Vittoriano! @manto_vincenzo

The world is accelerating.

@PermitZIPhvacnon called value compression. Weare at the squeeze point of the inversion of value between software suppliers and software demand. It happened when weaving machines appeared, when power tools arrived to construction and now with AI commoditizing software. It's important to stay lean and mean.

If you think people hacking, decompiling and vibe-coding software is cool wait till they start doing it with real hardware.

Why have BIM, CAD, RenderModel and Digital Twin in 4 different filetypes if you can have a single file for all?

I was having a pretty bad day. Been having massive headaches the last 4 days. Until y saw a fucking engineer singing about engines in china. @SledgeDev
