I just tried it, there's a demo and works as advertised. I had 3 credits upon signing up, tried uploading a photo of a cup and it created the model of the cup.

Then I created a figurine of Trump and a model of Galata Tower.

I'm very surprised by all the negativity in the comments, some kid created a tool that's working as advertised and even gives a free demo. What am I missing here? Why are so many people are acting as if this is a scam? The tool isn't asking anything more than one click sign up using Google, takes you straight to the UI where you spend your free credits instantly.




It's the disingenuous marks on the whole thing.

Using the trademark of a very popular 3d software, coupling it with a very popular product name from the biggest AI corp in the world.

And not mentioning it's a wrapper over a model so new that it's easy to assume this commercial product is innovative (other than the design of a UI over a service).

Even if there was nothing illegal (there is on the trademark infringement), calling it a scam would be a stretch but the author has forfeited its ethical right to be treated gently.


It's a product that works as advertised and has a name that describes exactly what it does. OpenAI was denied the right to register GPT as a trademark anyway, for Blender, yeah maybe but that's up to Blender to defend. It's not pretending to be the Blender software but a tool for it, so it's not causing a confusion.

And as for the innovation part... Kind of irrelevant, 99% of "tech" is built on creating a UI for a process. What's Uber or AirBnB for example? A GUI over a database to keep records of a marketplace.


Oh, if they had YC backing Iā€™m sure half the people here would be sending in job applications.
