The on-stage demo showed off rotations for a number of varied images, from largely symmetrical dragons, horses, and bats to more complex shapes like a sketch of a bread basket or a living cup of fries (complete with arms, legs, eyes, and a mouth). In each case, the machine-learning algorithm does an admirable job assuming unseen parts of the model from what's available in the original 2D view, extrapolating a full set of legs on a side-view horse or the bottom of the Fry Man's shoes, for instance.
Still, we're sure the vector models on stage were chosen to show Project Turntable in its best light. Without a public testable version, it's hard to say how it would handle weird edge cases or drawings that don't closely match objects in its training data (which we don't know the extent of).
Even so, what was shown on stage has some obvious appeal for working artists. After seeing the on-stage video, Ars Creative Director Aurich Lawson exclaimed on our internal Slack, "That’s wizardry. I don't know how well it really works—I bet not nearly as good as that demo a lot of the time—but I’m impressed."
