If you’ve ever thought some 3D figures might be worth having, but given up trying to build CAD models yourself, you might like to try Meshy AI Community - Meshy
They currently have a seasonal promotion when you can get twice as many goes at generating a figure from a text prompt until 1/1/25. Free to register and a free account has enough credit to normally generate 10 figure sets (4 offers in each).
I’ve had a few goes at it and think it may be worth a play, if not an actual subscription.
Negatives;
Some figures are unusable with holes and hollow areas.
Some (free) figures are hopelessly low resolution.
The language model may not recognise some UK text properly eg bowler hat and flat cap were just ignored.
Some prompts just aren’t used properly eg a sitting figure prompt has generated a standing figure.
You’ll need to resize any figures generated to your preferred scale. That might help with resolution or not.
Worth noting it may be AI underneath, but as there’s no way of feeding back errors it’s not going to learn fast.
Positives;
You might get a unique usable figure for your railway.
Free
An example from this text prompt;
“Victorian workman wearing trousers, shirt waistcoat, bowler hat, short hair, Standing with legs slightly apart, right arm held slightly up to waist forward of body level, left arm beside body”
The photo shows what I ended up with.
