Yes I think that is about right.  It offers the next 'level of 
abstraction,' so to speak, such that the user does not worry about 
underlying geometry but rather manipulates only the look of the figure.
I think an early tool that does something like this was Z-Brush. I have 
not looked at Z-Brush in years and I assume, that, as a professional 
tool, it would also let you access the actual geometry if you wanted to. 
  You can get Wings3D to do some of these things, but again, you have to 
jump through hoops, but again, you get more control.  (Imagine if the 
'Poke' tool could be made any shape, not just a sphere.)

The tool is clearly aimed at children. For grown-ups this looks like a 
great tool in the keep-it-simple vein. Your first effort has a charming 
primitive art feel.

Notice that it cannot import externally produced geometry, btw.
