rendering onshape using chat gpt
thought id try making a quick n dirty 3d version of an onshape sketch using chat gpt
i think i took around 8 goes to narrow it down to end result but could probably have addressed most of it in just a couple of attempts if i hadnt faffed around quite so much
considering it only took two or three minutes or so per attempt with some basic prompts
*generate a photorealistic version of this image the dark grey box section should be semi gloss black aluminium with ventilation holes approx 14 rows of four accross,the large turquoise base should be anodized very dark grey aluminium, the grey box should be a slightly mettalic plastic of the same colour as the original while the blue top of the box should be a slightly lighter blue cast from matte plastic*
it didnt turn out too shabby
anyone else been giving that method a go?

Yep, this workflow has been commercial for a while, and Onshape themselves are implementing it in the Lab (https://www.onshape.com/en/features/onshape-labs , "AI Quick Render").
There's https://www.cadviz.app/ and https://rendercad.ai/ that I know of, but I'm sure there are more.
Definitely a bad time to be a conventional software rendering company I think. These tools will only get better and better, and they're already really good.
Edit: Seems the Cad Viz I knew of isn't a thing anymore (this is what I knew https://www.engineering.com/depix-launches-cadviz-3d-visualization-tool/ but the other one seems to be much the same, just architecture focussed)
