Hosted web app turning a text prompt, one image or several views into a 3D model, downloaded as GLB, geometry-only or textured. A run uses one of five named models and costs credits, not money; the FAQ points to free generation after sign-in. Note before using it: unseen surfaces are inferred, results need checking before game or print use, and the page states neither the rights over uploads and downloads nor who operates the service.
