For some reason the page doesn't work for me but this is the video I received in my RSS link: https://blendergptv2-jobs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/compres...

Anyway - I can't find a good reason for someone to start 3D graphic course today. A tool like this will eat everyone's lunch.

Three free images seems to be the limit. Using a photo as the prompt did not seem to work for me.

I tried three images as the prompt, all three isolated without a background, and it worked pretty decently. Nothing I would actually use, but they generated something close enough.

That’s pretty slick. I wonder if this sort of thing, generating a 3D model, could be a better way toward persistent worlds, than the models trained on games.

I wonder how well typical render farm could run a model like this.

What's the technical underpinning of this? Is this a novel prompt to 3D technique or is this a user interface on something preexisting?

That ship has sailed. Along with the good ship capital letters at the beginning of sentences. It's a GenAI subculture signifier. Utterly tiresome; HN and the tech web is riddled with it.

Presumably, the point is to be a "written by a human" signifier

Considering infra costs, it kind of is worthless, they aren't about to start selling advertising on their AI tool. I'd assume the reason they have auth is so they don't get botted and it absolutely bricks their servers.

I don't disagree with you. It should not be billed as "free" without qualification. It should read "free with google account".

Contrary to the downvotes on the above comment I see absolutely zero issue with wanting to be informed of this in advance. I would've made this exact same comment if I had run into it myself.

"Try it out for free!" Demands a google account, as if my personal info is somehow worthless.

How much does it cost?

The page wants access to your name, email, language settings and profile picture. Language setting and profile picture aside, you would need to surrender that information anyway for billing purposes.
