🆒 Lens Drop Point, pinch, forge: Spectacles just became a texture grabber and a 3D sculptor at the same time 🕶️

Been building this for Snap Spectacles and finally shipped it: Asset Forge.
Point your glasses at literally anything, pinch-frame it, and it becomes a downloadable PBR texture set. Or skip reality entirely, say a prompt and Gemini paints you a texture, or Snap3D sculpts a whole 3D model, live, in-world. Everything you make follows you to a web gallery you can pull up on any device.
What it actually does:
- Texture Grab pinch both hands, frame any real-world surface, release to capture a high-res still. No phone, no photogrammetry rig, just your hands.
- AI Texture Gen talk or type a prompt, Gemini paints you a texture (auto-fails over to OpenAI's gpt-image-1 if Gemini's having a bad day)
- AI Model Gen same deal but Snap3D sculpts an actual 3D mesh that spawns right in front of you, preview it in-world before you commit
- Zero-signup device linking your headset gets a persistent code the first time you ever open the Lens, no account, no login, just link that code on the web app
- Web companion turns raw captures into real PBR maps BaseColor / Normal / Roughness / AO / Height, generated client-side, right in your browser, download as a ZIP
- Everything's saved to your own library grid or radial-carousel browsing, realtime sync the second you confirm a capture on-device
It's all built on Spectacles' CameraModule + hand tracking + RemoteServiceGateway (Gemini/OpenAI/Snap3D) on the Lens side, and Supabase (via Snap Cloud) + a single-file no-build-step web app on the backend.
Try it:

Happy to answer questions about the AR capture pipeline, the PBR map generation, or anything about building for Spectacles in general.

Really sick looking UI. How are you getting such nice looking UIs? Is this using UI Kit? I always end up with such plain looking UIs, been looking to give my apps more of a visual punch with the GUI.
