Lol thangs search better? Please. The entire thangs UX is a mess and their search is a joke. It returns models from game asset websites and the like that are not really printable. They’ve been spending a lot getting creators to gush over it too, makes me highly suspect whenever I see someone say how much better it is.
That must be new though, right? I noticed it the other day, too. They seem to be indexing all 3D-models now, no matter what type they are or what for.
But I remember until a few weeks ago at least they were printable-3D-models only?
It’s been a thing for a while but they might be adding more sites to their index.
Don't get me wrong, I still prefer printables but Thangs is kinda like a metasearch engine. They also haven't banned me yet so that's nice.
I do like the idea of thangs, it just needs more time to mature and they need to limit their search - mainly not including game asset and mod sites.
