IKEA – 3D Guide sael.net

It's really interesting despite others pointing out that it's a little wrong, that can be fixed.

But I also almost left immediately because this claudism at the top really hurt to read:

> Every dowel, cam lock and nail where the page puts it.

I always feel so manipulated when I read it regurgitating the prompt you gave it in such an advertisey way, like it's trying to assure you it met _every_ word of the prompt, regardless of how it actually did.

It instructs you to build the shelf wrong. The camlocks go on the bottom of the shelf.

Indeed, step 3 has the shelve boards in backwards.

Really enjoying all these animation by Ryan Sael. I spent a good part of an hour exploring https://sael.net/river-bend/

There are a lot of issues, the bigger one is the fact that the drwan line is not on the self level as the shelf.

I hate to speak ill of this nice page, but the cams are on the wrong side of the two bottom shelves. They are clearly displayed in the included manual pages on the left side of the viewport.

It's incredible. Please, Ikea, hire this guy and generate animated/interactive websites for all of your stuff.

Hire... why, it's AI. They can do it themselves.

They could have done it themselves before AI.

Does it make it less complicated?

ilovecake198411 minutes ago

Absolutely not.

The actual paper instructions are super clear and don’t have all the junk distracting extras.

The art of communication is simplicity.

I might have been one of the first people to recognize the possibility of using a LACK table as an equipment rack. I built a DVD player into one in like 2003, recognizing that a whole stack of 19" pro audio gear could be bolted in there.

Built one in 2001, there were lots of discussions about it on I think it was the Audiogon forums at the time, a whole thread of a good few hundred people building them. I seem to recall a few had been using them since the 90s as well.

Folks were doing this in the late 90s on AVSForum..

this is a great idea and i imagine that somebody could generate the entirety of their catalog. it's tempting. would be nice if ikea paid for this service but it's doubtful!

karansuthar2 hours ago

really nice. how did you make the models, by hand from the pdf instructions? ikea already has 3d models for a lot of products on their site for the ar view, would be cool if those could be pulled in so it works for any product

dmtroyer2 hours ago

I thought I read somewhere that their entire catalog is rendered and they generally don't do photography at all anymore.

The idea is awesome but for fucks sake it would have been half an hour at most to replace the slop copytext.
