Hi HN,

I wanted to share a project I've been building to solve a problem I've personally faced.

As an indie dev and tabletop gamer, I've always found creating custom 3D character models to be a major hurdle. The learning curve for tools like Blender or ZBrush is steep, and while recent text-to-3D AI is promising, the results often aren't quite ready for a game engine or 3D printer without significant cleanup.

My goal with this project was to build a simple web tool that could take a detailed text prompt and generate a usable 3D asset. You can export models as OBJ/FBX for game development or as STL for printing miniatures.

The name is a bit of a nod to the core idea: "Nano" for the aim of achieving precise detail, and "Banana" for the goal of making the process as straightforward as possible.

It's still early, and the quality can definitely be hit-or-miss depending on the prompt. I'm launching it as a paid tool from the get-go, hoping to build it sustainably. I'm here to be transparent about that and would genuinely appreciate any feedback on the concept, the output quality, or anything else. I'll be in the comments to answer questions.
