> The complete result of 3D art is the rendering, not the model. Well, yeah, but who was talking about 3D art? What you are saying is exactly what annoys me about most existing sites where people share and/or present their 3D models: They are all primarily used by 3D artists. Even GrabCAD which is supposedly "from engineers for engineers" is full of 3D art which is more or less useless for any purpose other than visualization (I think this is because the internet is the natural place for the rendered picture to be used, while the natural place for the solid model might be a workshop or an FEM simulation software). Don't forget that besides visualization, solid models are also used in fabrication, simulation, mechanical prototyping, etc! I for one welcome that somebody tries to offer a platform not geared towards 3D visualization but just models.
