Can we stop allowing people to post AI Gen images as primary image?

Dann wirst Du sicherlich viel Erfolg damit haben, Torsten.

Here, the faked woodgrain.


Oh, I don’t know why you are addressing me. My post was not directed at you.
It was also meant ironically and refers to the many conversations that have already taken place here in some threads about it. It’s an example of technical progress that surprised me, nothing more.

But keep on lashing out, I understand that you’re angry.

What do you think about the new possibilities of AI?

Have a nice day!

We appreciate all of your feedback. Using renders as the main image might cause issues with ensuring model printability on MakerWorld. We’ll have a more comprehensive update on our image requirements soon. Thanks!

The sad fact is many go to the trouble of rendering an ai image rather than take a photo of what you have just printed to pass a profiles print test , im sure there is a terms and conditions issue somewhere

Thanks for your answer. Of course, the printability of a model must be ensured. Therefore, there are makers who print each model and also upload images of the printed models in multiple perspectives. Nevertheless, rendered preview images are an asset.

Look, another sacrifices for you

I had a browse, it feels a little bit like they throw a 0.28 layer height and 2 walls, lately fuzzy skin. From the quality perspective, the bar is set a tad low imho. There is a noticeable shift in quality from the “render experience” to the printed evidence, I can’t see much clarity from either of you, dark and not many angles. It’s a shame not to see more effort put in to present the real model.

It really baffles me as you obviously have some passion but seem to drop to ball just before the goal line. I personally think handing off to someone when you’ve essentially “test printed” already is a bit strange, when your posted images seem to be same or better than the person you’ve handed over to.

People can be mean, I get it, but handing off your work to someone else when there doesn’t seem to be any valid reason smells a bit and we’re intrigued.

Wait… so that’s YOUR floor? And your image? And the profile is made by a person who lives “2000km away”?

You know that using other people’s photo for profile is against the rules of profile upload?

And yes, the woodgrain is fake, that’s no wood, that looks like cheap laminate floor :stuck_out_tongue:

Wouldnt the bigger picture now be how many points do i have to lose

Hardly a comparison, they do their own print profiles…

Collecticraft and SabreDesign are a cut above. Ha.

It is cheap laminate floor. :slightly_smiling_face:
In my working space. I dont upload profiles since a few month.

It goes beyond just them doing their own print profiles.

I’m not like a fan of either of those guys, but they aren’t slop. Their designs and everything are of a higher quality. Their main images aren’t AI generated slop. They do renders, but they make the renders off of the actual models.

This dude doesn’t seem to get or care that the AI generated slop he uses as his display image is misleading to the actual models he creates. They aren’t 1:1 creations, and has been shown, he’s not even paying close enough attention to the proportions and what the images show vs what he’s giving people.

Just to add my opinion on this one answer, since we are in a forum that is meant to do this exactly.

  1. Verified or not, it’s an account and has the same rules as all the other ones.
  2. You do all the models in fusion 360 i get it. No one told you the opposite
  3. Preview is not only a render but also AI generated and bad at it. Details are all messed up (keys overlapping, pencils deformed, huge tv remotes, objects that don’t exist because AI created it, etc.). And that is the point. A render serves a purpose of showing the real model, real scale and end product. A generated one does not, as you can see from the several coments on your models (Example: "size is not the same from the picture, ps4 controller does not fit, tray is not the size of that chair in the picture, etc.)
  4. Yes, you have always 2 pictures of your print but most people go after what you have on your main picture and not the other ones that show ugly layer lines or defects visible, as it is 3d printed.
  5. The profile being created by another person is not the problem
  6. That could be ok in your book, but it’s a way of cheating the system. It may even be point manipulation. I create a model, another account creates a profile in advance. I get points, he gets points and boosts to hand out. He hands out boosts to your model and you do the same. It’s a win-win situation. That is point manipulation. If a person gets a model in advance, he has the time to make a profile but does not mean that the profile is well tuned, as seen in the Moon model where someone showed a defect, printed with that created profile and the profile creator said it’s a problem with temperatures when in reality, if the person printed from that profile that he created, then the problem is in created profile itself. From what i can tell, not even the person who creates your profiles knows what he is doing. I even checked some of those profiles and they are not good at all in some cases.

About the rest. You always mention envy when in reality you know that your models are pretty simple but augmented through your generated images, that make it look more than a pair of extruded walls.
Example, your Round Design Pecil Holder "Dragon Skin" by Deltaprints - MakerWorld (it’s Pencil btw). Its a round sketch in fusion, extruded to the top. Nothing more, nothing less. But you call it “Dragon skin”. That “Dragon skin” is only visible after the print was used with fuzzy skin. Without it is a simple 2 minute model with no skill or even art involved.

No one has envy of you, people just get sick of seeing those models daily without a chance to hide it from our view. From my point of view they are not art, they are only extruded walls in simple forms. I really wish you luck in your success, if you wish to call it that.

Another hot point is the “partner contact” thing. Even if you had a contact inside Bambu Lab, you should refrain from mentioning it in public. It makes you look pathethic and, true or not, it makes Bambu Lab look wrong in the eyes of other creators because they think that bambu favours some creators and i hope that is not the case.

This is all constructive opinions and nothing more. Be cordial and learn from mistakes to become a real modeler in the future and not someone that “throws” models like they are rain.

Have a great day

Getting some great vibes from this comment. :unamused:

congratulations to you Josh :melting_face:

Those are not renders and that is the problem. Those are generated models with false sense of size, width and scale all together and that most of the time won’t even correspond to the final printed model.

Renders should be viable if they show the correct scale and maintain the functionality of the model. Of course, real pictures would also have to be present.

But i can’t wait to see those updates.

Exactly. Just this alone. Throwing Bambu’s name into the mix to try and bolster yourself above us… That’s not… cool.

Or, since I’m old enough now and can quote the kids embarrassingly. Big yikes, that’s cheugy. No cap.

To expand on my old man tirade. I know you’re trying to project main character energy, but we’re all NPC’s dude. The end user printing our stuff is the main character.

The future corpse of gen-z is likely turning in their graves at my attempts at slang today.

Glad you mentioned those profiles. Do you know what they do better? They apply renders with full scale of the model they print and they come out exactly that size and overall scale.

Do you know what they also do? They provide the exact printed model picture with almost no loss in quality in comparison with the render. Just don’t be blind and check some random models of them and then try and do the same. Maybe then we wouldn’t all be having this discussion.

Edit: Had to add this. I do no envy you or your work. As said above, everyone can extrude some walls and apply fuzzy skin in the print process. I am just “that” guy that sees this mess everyday while trying to find a funny or cute model for my kids to print.
