"I Just Need GPT to Refine My Prompts": Rethinking Onboarding and Help-Seeking with Generative 3D Modeling Tools
Learning to use feature-rich software is a persistent challenge, but generative AI tools promise to lower this barrier by replacing complex navigation with natural language prompts. We investigated how people approach prompt-based tools for 3D modeling in an observational study with 26 participants (14 casuals, 12 professionals). Consistent with earlier work, participants skipped tutorials and manuals, relying on trial and error. What differed in the generative AI context was how and why they sought support: the prompt box became the entry point for learning, collapsing onboarding into immediate action, while some casual users turned to external LLMs for prompts. Professionals used 3D expertise to refine iterations and critically evaluated outputs, often discarding models that did not meet their standards, whereas casual users settled for "good enough." We contribute empirical insights into how generative AI reshapes help-seeking, highlighting new practices of onboarding, recursive AI-for-AI support, and shifting expertise in interpreting outputs.
