Thiings

  • > 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:

    > 4. Content

    > You retain all rights to your content. By using our service, you grant us a license to host and display your content.

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

  • Along the same lines, less "cute", but far more extensive - https://thenounproject.com

  • 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”.

  • Somewhat relevant GitHub project, for generating Genmoji-style images: https://github.com/EvanZhouDev/open-genmoji

  • 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.

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

  • Searching for "baby carrier" is hilarious

  • Really cool!

  • so good

  • So cool!
