Are the Clay Tool Listing Photos AI?

There is a lot of “AI fatigue” out there, and people often lump any computer-generated image (CGI) into the “AI” bucket because they simply don’t know the difference.

The distinction is actually really important for our customers: AI generates images from text prompts (often with unpredictable scales and details), whereas 3D rendering (CGI) uses the exact mathematical 3D models of the physical products designed. What is seen in our listing photos is exactly the geometry of the physical polymer clay cutter or other tool listed.

Our tools are designed in the program Blender. When the actual tool is finished, the listing images are generated right in Blender. The program itself translates the model details into an image rendering.

We always test print a portion of every collection created. Like these 2 here. But printing every single cutter, roller, stencil, bead roller etc. becomes an insurmountable task. So we rely on Blender to provide preview images that are 100% accurate, right down to the exact hundreds of thousands of triangles in each 3MF file. You can count on it to be a scale-perfect representation of the tool listed.

Using CGI listing images allows us more time to design more tools for you. Rest assured that the represented models in the previews are accurate representations. And the images are not AI generated.
