I’ve been working on 3D modeling and 3D printing for Warhammer, and me and my friend thought it would be really cool if we could easily create custom landscapes or buildings. That’s what sparked the idea for Amodeling.

ran into a lot of breakdowns along the way, but we’ve managed to fix most of them. There are still a few issues with the download feature, though.

How is this better than some of the other 2D to 3D AIs out there? Once you have a 3D model, you can just send it to any shop for 3D printing..?

So this one for now, we just aim to make it work first but later on we are thinking to let user to choose which 3D AI models to generate coz different AI model are good at different test from my experience.

You can download the models and give it to other to print it or order it from us and we will print it for you. we dont mind :))

While I think the concept is really cool, I instantly think that majority of users are hobbiest individuals who don’t want to pay. Are you finding traction?

Jimmy69295• 12 months ago

Well, we’re kind of aiming for people like that — designers, makers, or anyone who’s into tabletop games, coz we’re designers ourselves and love that space.

We’re still figuring things out though, if you have any suggestions?

Meta question, but why do these AI apps always have pink-to-blue gradients on buttons? I see it all over the place!

I'm more concerned about why these AI apps always show cherry-picked examples on the front page.

I'd love to see the AI slop site that shows the dirty laundry of examples that don't work. It would be valuable if I had a something similar to the failure to know that mine would not work without have to go through the process.

So you can detect if it's AI slop quickly.. but they might be catching on to this.

You might want to update one of the examples:

A sleek robot with glowing blue eyes and modern design

Unfortunately that looks almost identical to “Astro Bot”, Sony’s PlayStation mascot.

Update: I love the idea for this site. I’ve been looking for something like this too. But I don’t like the idea of a monthly subscription.

I could be tempted to pay, but I’d rather have n models generated rather than a monthly plan.

I suspect the kind of people who would use this would be more infrequent designers. If they are generating enough each month to justify a monthly subscription then I suspect they’d be interested in this field enough to design their own models.

Update 2: I just noticed there is a PAYG option available. Easy to miss when reading on mobile.

One question regarding it: what happens if the model generated isn’t very good? Do you get a few options to choose from and then only get charged for the (for example) STL? Or is it basically pay your £5 and hope for the best?

Great start

I'm getting an error so can't check it out properly, but from what I've seen of 2D to 3D so far, this sort of tech is very much still in the "nice idea" phase.

There's such a big difference in quality between human-designed models. Some fantastic stuff out there, shout out to PiperMakes, LazyForger, Beastarium and Rescale, but so much that's really derivative and pedestrian.

I've got limited hobby time. Whilst I like the idea of running up something from a sketch, I'm confident these models won't touch the quality of lesser human designers for some time, if at all. I'd rather support an artist and paint something great.
