Yo, I feel your pain - I used to spend hours in Blender just to make a basic prop. These days though, text-to-3D has gotten ridiculously good. One thing that's been saving my butt is this AI text to 3D setup I stumbled on. You literally type whatever wild idea pops into your head, pick from a bunch of different AI engines for speed vs quality, and in like 20 seconds to a few minutes you get a fully textured model you can spin around right there in the browser. Exports to all the usual formats too - GLB, OBJ, FBX, even STL if you're printing. No downloads, no crazy learning curve, just pure instant gratification. Super handy for brainstorming or when you need assets yesterday. Give it a shot if you're tired of manual work, it's changed how I prototype stuff big time. Anyone else hooked on these yet?
