Show HN: Make a 3D object from a 2D drawing in-browser

I felt disappointment when the resulting object was just an extrusion of the drawing. If I had been told ahead of time that I could make a "physical object" out of my drawing -- or in some other way assuage my curiosity and anticipation about how you would make a 2D sketch "3D" -- I might not have felt so let-down by the result.

Mentioning how long it would take added to my expectations that it would be some tricky, sophisticated, new trick. It's cool, it's just not as cool as I led myself to expect, given the copy.

Ack, great point. The original article we had written had an explanation, but we stuck to using just the link for simplicity. Thanks for the feedback!

Anyone got any examples that don't just seem to be trivially extruded surfaces? Or is that _it_?
