Since 2019, and the range to 2032
New repos per 10,000 (3-month average, log scale)12-month forecastRange to 2032: middle half and 90% of past similar lines
The range is not a forecast of this line: it is what GitHub lines in the same state (n/a) did 1 to 5 years later, 2019 to 2026, applied to today's level. Past 5 years it is stretched, not measured. Checked out of time (learned before 2022, scored after), 71% of outcomes landed inside the 90% range, so read it as wide. Open it in the Everything chart.
Week by week
New public repos with the 3d-generation tag each week (Monday to Sunday, UTC). The outlined bars, last week included, are still filling in, as tags are often added days after a repo is created, so their height will grow a little. "Against the field" divides the change by what the typical tag did, so a wave that lifts every tag does not count. Hover for the numbers. Fewer than 40 new repos in 4 weeks: read the change with care.
Built vs talked about
Each line is its own share (of all new GitHub repos, all Hacker News stories, all English Wikipedia views, all new stars on the repos we track), shown as a share of its own peak, so the timing and shape compare even though the units differ. Hover for the counts. Tap a name to hide or show a line.
What it means
- Worth learning now: 3D generation is growing, +189% share of new GitHub repos vs a year ago.
- Start by reading OpenDCAI/GameFactory-3A (+480 stars in 3 months) and Tencent-Hunyuan/Hunyuan3D-2 (+315 stars in 3 months).
- People to follow: Tencent-Hunyuan, Scenario, worldbench.
- Getting crowded: new repos +189% but attention -78%, so each new project competes harder for stars.
- Attention: 0.08% of new stars on the repos we track, -78% in a year.
- Hacker News: 1 stories a month, +55% share in a year.
- Not investment advice: this measures what people build on GitHub, not any company.
- Most-starred tools here lately: OpenDCAI/GameFactory-3A, Tencent-Hunyuan/Hunyuan3D-2 (vouched).
- The field is growing, so expect new tools and fast changes; pin versions.
