> Thiings is a growing collection of 1,900+ free AI-generated 3D icons
"Free", but downloading the entire collection requires a payment.
And according to the terms:

But then they advertise that anyone can download and use these pictures? Under what license?

Capacitor looks weird. When I type "lead" is offers me to add it, but when I type "asp" it shows me "wasp" without option to add "asp" (a fish). Diode is shorted. I really don't understand the purpose of this.

The entry for London Bridge is wrong, Tower Bridge is depicted.

I am interested in guidance for generating a custom icon like this with a similar level of style consistency. I know there are some resources out there with guidance, but does anyone know any really good ones?

Of course it has “Reaper Drone” as well as several different tanks and war planes, but not, for instance, “dildo”.

Spinosaurus is the inaccurate one from Jurassic Park 3 and Tyrannosaurus has inaccurate hand rotation. Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus are also from Jurassic Park and highly inaccurate. For shame!

This page feels like one of those times that touch and drag inertia would really be a benefit. It feels so clumsy to navigate on my phone but looks so close to being a delight.

Cool site!
But why does it exist? Will it be around in 6 months? What is the backstory / creator of this project?
It's odd that they use their own license language, and doesn't use something explicit like CC-BY-NC. It appears to be a non-commercial, non-distribution license, but otherwise free for personal and commercial use...?
Appears that the site is funded through being able to purchase sponsorship spots for $10 / mo.

Love this beautiful pattern wallpaper generator but I have two questions: How do I save a pattern (rightclick download doesn't work) and can you make the background color adjustable? Thanks!

I searched for "hot dog" and got "Oxford University".

How did you get fireship to narrate?
(more seriously, the timing on the playback does not seem to account for load time, audio may start a couple words in if not instantly loaded)

This is a great idea, but the monetization model will not stand the pressure of market forces. Icons is a race to the bottom, even with relatively high-cost human labor

Super helpful, i was just looking for some 3d elements of bonfires and dolphins to go with my apps aesthetic. the timing could not have been better :D
thanks!

They're AI generated and look quite nice, no obvious artifacts (messed up text). Not sure what the use case is though.

Searching for "baby carrier" is hilarious

Love the website design, but that rsc lag is painful.

Really cool!
