- The 3D form is described as an interpretation that may differ on small details and surfaces the drawing does not show.
Field notes
The page separates an immediate estimate drawn over the source image from a 3D interpretation intended to clarify volume and cast shadows. In that mode, users can rotate the light and reshape the form by adding, carving, smoothing, or erasing material. The site explicitly notes that the reconstructed form may miss details or surfaces hidden from the original drawing; access is presented as a private beta.
