Finished my dedicated build table station!

@limburger yes it’s subscription based but it gives you two free projects without having to subscribe. I use it on my tablet and find that better than a pc for things like this personally, easier for manipulating the room, objects and views -but each to their own.

as for wanting to own the software outright, I’m sure a program exists som…[Read more]

@sundancer I remember sketchup being a thing, but I noticed it was subscription-only now 🙁

I have a *beeping* pc with a gigantic screen. Why the heck would I want to use a tiny screen on my mobile phone for something like this…[Read more]

I just wish there was an easy route from that artist impression to…[Read more]

So tomorrow is going to be fun. Schools are still closed due to “snow and ice” and I’m unsure if and how I want to go to work XD

The problem with ai is that you give it instructions and it responds with an ‘artists impression’ of what you wanted.

You can get very specific about details, but by the time you have created a prompt that perfectly encapsulates what you want it create… you might as well have created it yourself.

As had been said by others, do it yourself.…[Read more]

Say no to the clankas!

I second that vote
