When 3DMaker is still the better choice
Canva, Plnty, UI Discovery and 3D Valley Tools score higher than 3DMaker overall, so this is not a case of the original being the obvious pick. 3DMaker still makes sense for Solo developers and hobbyists who need quick textured GLB assets from photos or prompts, and the sub-scores in the table show where it holds up.
