Slightly concerned about the horses anatomy? - The legs don't look 'right' to me. But I am no anatomist.

The picture frame and seat cushion are very impressive.
Whether I could paint one, to match the quality of the print, would be another matter.

Now please stop!
I can't afford the time or money to go down this wormhole! 🤓

The slate pile was an intriguing problem. It revealed some interesting failures with AI, both in Meshy, ChatGPT and Gemini. The systems didn’t seem to understand the geometry at all well despite being given what I’d thought were good photo prompts.
Not liking to be beaten I probably spent a good hour working through various prompts with different photos and edits in Photoshop and Chat GPT to get what I thought was a really good image, but Meshy just couldn’t generate anything from it. A final tweak to background colour made all the difference and it managed to finally deliver an acceptable STL, on the fourth retry, that could be edited in Blender.

The final pile STL prints nicely and is able to be rescaled to different sizes, chopped down to fit and, rather nicely, can be skewed to look like a stack of slate awaiting loading.

It’s even possible to cut an individual slate from the pile.

I like the way it's even represented the chopped bevelled edges.
