Autodesk Wonder 3D

[markni...@gmail.com]

Autodesk offers a free tier of Autodesk Flow Studio.

Wonder 3D looks like a very useful AI to 3D generator:

The cheapest tier allowing access to Wonder 3D is the Standard, which is $45.00 monthly of $360.00 when paid a year at a time.

Looks like an incredibly useful tool for those wanting to do rapid 3D generation.

OMG - this may be the perfect solution for my project!

And - as I'm already an AD Fanboy - I'm already Interested. It IS Expensive for an AI subscription - but, still may be a good option for me!

There are many free Autocad knockoffs that users can do 3D with (full blown Autocad).

  I started to buy an Autocad developer license many years ago to create my own Autocad Software Package.

  I wrote many 1,000's of automated Steel & Misc Detailing Programs over the course of 20 years.

  Some were over 100,000 lines of code, 40+ hours of normal drafting reduced to a few hours, in some cases under 5 minutes.

  Even went so far as to write an automated, auto detailing software package, where you could start with a finished drawing sample, and convert the drawing(s) into code.

  This even captured the variables in x,y,z made a list so the person developing the program could change and variable and it would parametricly update the drawing(s).

  It was named Draw T Lisp.

Way before it's time...

I use Autocad for anything i need to 3D model, most of my Billiard Products were 1st modeled, then exported into FreeCad.

[Kurt The 3D Printer GUY!!]

Cool stuff Dan!!! Are you still doing Coding like that?
Was the Draw T Lisp program actually a Lisp type code? I dabbled in Lisp MANY years ago - back in college - in like 1987!

It looks like another dust catcher model maker or did I miss something? Making real parts and assemblies seems like a tough nut for ai to crack.

In My case - it would be a REAL Part - but, NOT an Assembly - something kind of Organic. I hope that makes sense...

Kurt,

  Yes the main program was Lisp, in the Autocad world they had a scaled down version named AutoLisp.

  AutoLisp was extremely resilient in artificial intelligence, it was the 1st AI!

  One could develop programing that could "think" instead of just blindly executing code.

  There was many other programing languages i used in conjunction with Lisp, C (for dialog boxes, or human interface), Diesel and Dos (for interactions with windows and handles for many windows programs).

  Very complex programming all accomished with a 6th grade education (60's 6th grade).

  Some programs I've created could use billions of possible variables.

Yo Dan - that sounds WILD! In fact - way back then, in college - I was just Auditing the course - and learning some LISP. Actually got a cool book and was digging into the whole thing - and yeah - that was the VERY EARLY Days of AI! And - I remember a bit of it - and it was Cool to think Now - that Back Then - I was actually wrapping my brain around AI type stuff!

Cool Throwback Indeed Sir!!!

So - I was checking into this at my lunch break. It was weird - as I was looking at the various Tiers - and I could NOT see the whole Wonder Tools for AI to 3D. Turns out - you had to turn off Hide Similar Features - which I highlighted in my screenshot. So - it's possible to Try it out for Free - with limited credits - even do Lite version - cheaper than Standard - and you get more Credits/mo.:

I am definitely going to try this out tonight!!

OK - here we go - my 1st Test!

What I find ODD is that 2 versions of the tree are kinda 2D - not true 3D!!!

The upper left tree is closest to what I seek!

Darn - the Free version is kinda Stupid. You get 300 credits to use. It took 20 for it to make a single object with a single prompt - and like other AI - it generates 4 versions of an object. So - I clicked on the one tree in upper left - then it gave me options - obviously to generate the actual 3D tree. It then proceeds to generate it - and that takes ANOTHER 20 credits. Problem is - it's STUPID - it should not allow you to Generate the actual 3D object for Download - if it won't actually LET you Download the model. You will see one red box - and that's the generated 3D tree - but, the other red box shows me highlighting payment plans - and all the download options are disabled until you pay:


This sure is a bit of a TEASE. Again - they should give you option to Generate the 3D model - and waste your credits - if you can't actually download it! Ugh...

Time for me to Pony Up some Bucks!!!

Rather   - they should  NOT give you option to Generate the 3D model...

WOW that is a complete ripoff of Meshy. I wonder if they just paid Meshy and are using that with a slightly modified UI. Because... it's literally an exact clone.

Really???

Have you had good results with Meshy? Have you used it a Lot???
