I think for quick and dirty patterns, this is a fine approach. It works best
with patterns that are monochromatic, I think. For things like minifig torsos it
may not work as well as sitting down and figuring out the polygons would.
Plus, as Steve points out, it generates huge files, and they have the jaggies.
So, in my view, you should go ahead and use it for making stuff for yourself but
I'd rather not see parts like these in the library unless there were no
alternative. I would tend to vote "hold" on them when I find them, barring an
explanation.
