#2looks fun! I'll give it a try

#3Looks cool and I love its openness - though I hope I'm forgiven for saying that the examples, especially the guitar, doesn't quite look up to professional standards.

Oh, no, that guitar is my favorite :-(
The main focus of this software is the modeling speed, for example, that guitar only took less than five minutes. So I can make more game asset as an indie. Actually, the model made recently is already looks far better than several months ago I made, I will keep improving the mesh generating quality of the algorithm. Thanks!

#5The "just have a reference photo" approach really appeals to me as someone who has never been great at sketching from scratch. I'm going to give this a go for creating custom assets for some little mixed reality projects.

Perhaps they aren’t perfect (definitely looks like some more time could be devoted to the algo), but to go from not having models for your scene to having something at least as a stop-gap can really unblock you if your artists are busy doing something else or (in the case of most hobbyists/indies) don’t exist.

#7Does this use the same coordinate space[1] as Maya , or does it use the same coordinate space as Blender ?
Blender has no end of hidden trouble importing to Unity because Unity chose to be the same as Maya

It's got some flaws, but for say, Ludum Dare, it's super cool to create assets quickly. I have been using OpenSCAD for the purpose of quickly creating models.
Can Dust3d import STL files? Can it export wavefront OBJ? (or, I suppose I could import to blender, then export to OBJ). UV unwrapping is something I have not so far been able to conquer. If Dust3d can import STL or OBJ and make the UV unwrapping easy, I will probably use it.
Edit: I see at 21:50 in this video, it can export OBJs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQerDObDjOs&t=21m50s

#9Awesome. Thanks for supporting glTF export right out of the box. Will run some test rendering to WebGL canvas and provide further feedback directly via github ;)

totally agree, this tool seems very useful for building prototypes and instead of using grey cubes you can use something which at least has roughly the correct shape and gives you a rough idea what it should look like eventually.
