Could you build this?
Partial Building the web UI and Three.js viewer is feasible, but performing in-browser image-to-3D segmentation, mesh generation, cinematic camera staging, and multi-ratio video rendering requires deep WebGL/WebGPU expertise.
What it would actually take: The system requires a client-side WebAssembly/WebGPU pipeline (or an in-browser Three.js/Babylon.js engine) that strips image backgrounds, generates normal/depth maps, and maps the 2D asset onto 3D geometry with dynamic lighting. Generating exports across multiple aspect ratios in real time requires WebCodecs and canvas-capture rendering pipelines. Achieving smooth, artifact-free local 3D rendering and motion export in the browser demands specialized computer graphics and shader engineering.
