My main focus is 3d printing, but thought I may as well play around a bit while I have blender open..

Next step will be trying to make the materials a bit less flat

A couple of months ago I posted some of the minis I had generated in Makerlab for a Monster Manual project here, and it went down very badly.

I thought that it's just over caution to a new tool, and I'll be sceptical but carry on.

Fast forward to generating a dragon this morning - and it generates someone's watermark (or a crappy AI version of one) onto the base of the model.

So, yes, these tools are definitely trained on other people's hard work - and that doesn't feel great.

I'm currently sculpting the Spectator myself in Blender, and I'll be replacing all of the uploaded files as I make them - they might not be as good, and they'll take me a lot longer, but I'll feel better about it (and won't be using someone else's work without any form of attribution..).

TLDR: I won't be using AI modelling any more now it's confirmed they take others' work.

I made this windmill with a few variants:

- Motorised with a millstone part

- Motorised without the millstone (the best one imo)

- Hand cranked

All STLs are available for free from my Makerworld

Now to add the millstone and it's finished! (Until I need to paint it..)

Building up a few models for a farm in my D&D games - follow along with the collection:

As I expected, my mechanics didn't nail it on the first motorised prototype, but the hand powered one is good to go!

All the parts fit, now I just need the motor to arrive..

The inside has 3 playable floors, with an optional millstone at the bottom level
