Notes from the workshop
What this build does
Actually runs
- +Model jobs: text, photo, several photos, and re-texturing a mesh.
- +The price is quoted before a run; failed and cancelled refund in full.
- +The shelf, the CC BY 4.0 catalogue, the converter and the viewer.
Not here yet
- −A real payment processor. The checkout flow is complete and works, but through a simulator: no money moves, and every trace of it says so.
- −A real email provider. Messages are composed in full and wait in the back office; the operator passes them on.
- −Referral rewards: the link works and sign-ups are attributed, but no units are paid yet.
- −Image and video jobs: the tariff exists, the provider does not.
- −Google/GitHub sign-in, and the REST API.

Changelog
0.3[DATE]
Two to four reference photos
- +Hand in up to four views and the solver aligns them before building.
- +The tariff is derived from the provider's prices: one unit is one cent of their cost.
- +The run reel updates over a live stream instead of polling.
0.2[DATE]
The shelf, and files that outlive the provider
- +Every finished mesh is copied to our own storage the moment it lands, so the provider's expiring link never matters to you.
- +Failed and cancelled runs refund in one transaction with the status change — the balance and the ledger can never disagree.
- +Assets can be published to the catalogue, or withdrawn, from the shelf.
0.1[DATE]
Bench
- +One surface: from what, make what. Sentence, photo, several photos or a mesh you already own.
- +The cost of a run is quoted live and shown on the button before anything is charged.
- +GLB export, with the triangle budget and quad topology set before the run rather than after.
The dates are left as placeholders on purpose: this build has never been released, so there is no honest date to put there.
Getting help
| Channel | Use it for | Reply |
|---|---|---|
| The account page | Balance, ledger, changing plan — all self-serve | Immediate |
| Automatic refunds | Failed and cancelled runs, refunded in full without asking | Within seconds |
| Help centre & tickets | Anything the articles do not answer; the ticket is stored and read by the operator | Not promised |
No email provider is connected, so a reply to a ticket always appears in the help centre and may never reach your inbox — and no reply time is promised either way. There is no community forum, and no phone number.
The REST API does not exist yet
The plan: submit jobs, poll their state and pull finished files, with exactly the same tariff and the same refund rule as the screens use. There is no endpoint yet, and no waitlist that could store your address.
[WAITLIST FORM OMITTED — nothing would receive the submission, so it would only swallow your address.]
Licence, in plain words
Free bench
Output is published to the catalogue under CC BY 4.0. Anyone may download, modify, print and sell derivatives of it, provided they credit you. Copies already taken cannot be withdrawn, so if that matters, use a paid plan.
Paid plans
Output is private, stays off the catalogue, and is yours to sell, licence or embed in a product. We claim no ownership over it.
What you hand in
References and meshes you upload stay yours. They are sent to the generation provider to run your job, and deleted with the run when you delete it from the shelf.
