Hello guys,
I am happy to announce that ThreeDee crossed 60,000 downloads of our 3D libraries.
Some people downloaded multiple packs, which is pretty common in our domain.
The funny part is that I just combined carrd.co and Gumroad.com to build all the landing pages.
If you are interested in our 3D libraries, check it out:

Congratulations on that Milestone @Semy
Ive had purchased your free handz in past & thought that It would be a big company who made it.
Glad to find out, you are Indie & a Growing company. Kudos to you all.
Great work & design & helpful.
Can you answer some queries like ,
How did you market it all ?
How much time it took to reach this milestone ?-

thanks a lot, Mohit @MG7. Yep, it is bootstrapped but I am glad that you had this view on us that project :-)
Well, I am trying to do marketing all the time somehow. It took me 1 year to get here. Of course, the biggest driver is the HANDZ library & many people copied us :P

This is it!
Guys in Tesla bought some of our libraries so that they can use them in their internal projects.
I shared some quick notes on my linkedin
Lead came from happy customers - Indiehackers from Troopl

ThreeDee is the world's first 3D printed jet engine. The company is working on 3D printing jet engines that can power aircraft, cars and even homes. Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted yesterday that they are now using ThreeDee to make Tesla batteries. Try this disability agency sydney for more tips. Tesla recently made an order for a large amount of lithium-ion battery cells, he wrote. We're very excited about this opportunity and believe it will be very good for Tesla, our partners and the industry.
Hello, fellow indemakers! 👋
We created a 3D animated emojiz library. They are fun & easy to use.
Optimized for both Black & White UI. Source files included for further customization. Tutorial for guys who are new in Blender included!
Oh, btw, 20% discount code: threedee2021 - valid for one week.
Once you pay, further updates will be free! :-)
If you want to support us, we are on PH, too.

It's out! 🎉
Context
8 months ago I had an idea to create a 3D library that will be easy to use for everyone. Even for people outside the 3D design community. After 8 months of hustling, here is the day! 🙌
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/characterz
And now, I believe that also non-designers can do kick-ass 3D designs with the library.
3D is a new trend in design and this library can help you be up to date. Just drag & drop.
What is inside?
You can do 8,600,000+ combinations of 3D characters!
— 9,000+ PNG files of different characters
It contains:
• 2 genders,
• 11 types of clothes (5 for man, 6 for a woman),
• 10 types of eyeglasses (5 for man, 5 for a woman),
• 25 types of hairs (13 for man, 12 for a woman),
• 4 types of facial expression,
• 6 types of legs,
• 5 types of shoes,
• 25 different poses,
• 3 color skins as a bonus
= _8,600,000+ combinations _ (9,000+ rendered out of the box) 🦄

These are great! Congrats!
Have you thought of:
- Pre-generating all 8MM+ PNGs
- Uploading them to a server
- Building a Web UI and charging for access to the generator?
Mainly for the audience that doesn't want to deal with blender at all

Thanks @amhedh, I have some idea how to do that in my mind for some time :))

We crossed 20,000 downloads of the HANDZ library 🎉
I remember the day I was about to release the library. I was afraid that nobody would download it, but I had no idea what was coming.
After 5 months I would love to share some insights with you:
• 20,000 downloads (the library is free)
• People in Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, Orange, Alibaba are using the library
• 90,000 people visited the HANDZ page. 800+ daily (nowadays)
• I've received 100+ thanking comments
• HANDZ are all over the internet - in ads, landing pages, in products, ...
The funny fact is that I needed to provide support in at least 4 languages - French, Spanish, English, Chinese and I know only English. Google translate did the work 🤫
A lot of aspiring UI designers used hands in their designs. People are modifying them in Blender (some of them hadn't had experience in the program before). Our designs inspired other creators to come up with very similar libraries 🤷♂️
As the last thing - HANDZ was used in the fight against SARS in Nigeria. I had no idea what was happening there, before.
It is inspiring to see how a piece of design can live its own life.
On the internet.
You can see the library at https://www.handz.design/
I am so happy to announce that we created a new premium 3D library ICONZ 🎉 🎉
After months of work and preparation, it is finally here.
I believe ICONZ can be a great addition to our other libraries at ThreeDee.
What is included? 📦
— 1500 PNGs (50 icons * 5 Angles * 6 Combinations of Materials)
— Blender source files
— 10+ Other materials in Blender as a bonus
Take a look inside:
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/iconz
Today you can do more than 8,000 combinations of 3D avatars with AVATARZ library.
Besides that, I am happy to say that people in companies like Apple, Salesforce, Oracle, Microsoft, Orange, or Alibaba are using our libraries.
I saw many fellow indie hackers who used the library and I was impressed with the way the library was used.
We got many upvotes on Product Hunt, but unfortunately, the competitors were strong and the library ended in 6th place.
I added a free tier for the community, take a look: https://www.avatarz.design/
What do you think about this update?
-

Oh wow, I had no idea that this existed, the avatars look beautiful!
I got the free package but don't really understand the purpose. It seems like it just gave me a bunch of random avatars? It's a cool sample, and useful to have, but not something that I could make use of, as I expected for a "free version".
The killer feature for me would be the ability to make these in the browser, or at least in a sketch file (with tons of layers to swap to get a desired result). But I understand it's probably a ton of work. Looks good still 👍-
2
Dagobert, thanks for the feedback! I highly appreciate it. I will think of that.
By swapping do you mean changing the colors, or do you mean changing the clothes/hairs?
With the full version, you can do all of this and there are 7100 rendered PNGs out of the box.
-
2
Yes that's what I meant. I expected to have at least a small sketch file in the free version, with one character and a few accessories / colors to change. It wasn't clear to me from the homepage that all this customization was possible with sketch files. Since it focuses on the 3d software features, I was wondering if maybe all these features were only for blender.
-
1
Thanks! I will think of that, how to make it better.
But you are right, it is not a trivial amount of work to create this Sketch/Figma files
-
1
If it takes too much work, maybe just show how the sketch files work with a few screenshots. That would get you 80% there. Do that for every app you’re compatible with, so that people feel comfortable that your package has them covered. That would increase my confidence in the product tremendously 👍

Thanks Dagobert! I will try something.

These look awesome @Semy!
Is there a way to edit these in browser? For a non-designer, developer like me, that would be the golden ticket that would make me want to use it.
I don't necessarily want to download Blender to use this product, but I could see myself adding these some of my product pages potentially!
-
1
Kenneth one question, if you mentioned edit. What exactly do you mean by that? Can you be specific?
-
1
Yeah for sure!
If there were a way to customize and choose your avatar in browser, that'd be amazing.
So imagine your a developer with no art experience but you come across Avatarz and you want to use it.
You find out you have to download another program and potentially go through a learning curve just to get an avatar that matches your interested ☹️
Now, imagine you go to the website and when you sign up, you end up on a page where an avatar is shown. On this page, you can click buttons that will swap out hair for instance. Another set of buttons let you swap out the shirts, etc.
Similar to a character edit screen in a video game

Thanks a lot!
I will think of that, I have something cool in mind :-)

Thanks, Kenneth! Not yet, but I have it in the roadmap. Do you know some developers who would willing to help me? I think we can boost that process of creating the online editor.

Awesome :) You obviously have a lot of insight into your potential customer base if you were already thinking of it!
I work at a boutique consulting shop in my day job. www.zealitconsultants.com
We have some folks "on the bench" right now and could tackle the project. Not sure if you have a budget or not for that, but if you'd like to have a chat to explore some options I'd be happy to chat!
you can email me if you'd like.

Thanks, I will think of that. The truth is that it is all bootstrapped so I need to play with a limited budget :)
