Why We’re Upgrading Our Points System

Here is the point: to write a promt, which will create you an AI 3d model and to create from scratch project (even we will not talk about difficulties of a project) - between this 2 styles a huuuuge difference, especially in amount of time end quality.

It’s like to ask “why I can’t sell my street food sandwich with same price as marbled beef steak in restaurant” ? In the end, it’s still food and the satiety will be the same, but the pleasure received and time of cooking will be completely different.

And, how many sandwiches will you sell in a day? - Many. How many dishes with that delicious marbled steak the restaurant wil sell? - Couple.

The profit of both in the end of the day can be the same, but here is no questions why the sandwich is 2$ and steak 50$.

It’s better to start to learn some Fusion or Blender, instead to ask “we want get the same points” ! It’s complicated, but very interesting.

I am far away from good designer right now, but I am super glad, that I am learning and already can do myself something interesting and eye catching for the community.

I get your point, but there’s something you might be overlooking: AI can be a powerful ally even with tools like Fusion and Blender. It’s not just about generating a model with a prompt, but using AI to accelerate the creative process, generate scripts, or come up with parametric solutions that would otherwise take hours to develop. You might not immediately see how AI fits with these tools, but it’s a support that makes the work easier, especially with complex projects.
If you don’t understand how it works, that doesn’t mean AI isn’t doing valuable work. And if MakerWorld really wants to promote creativity, they should embrace AI as part of the process. In fact, they might even want to remove the term “MakerLab”, since AI is now a fundamental resource for everyone, from beginners to professionals.
