how do you think about it ? MySQL WorkBench to Eloquent ORM converter ( http://mwb.thinkers.it ) existed, but I can't access the site now. is there any alternative project?

To be honest - this was something I got really excited about when I first starting using this package. However, even with a number of tables (> 80), I was able to skin out the generator template format and generate all the models against my existing db. From what I had to think through along the way, I think it would be really difficult to build reverse eng. -> eloquent models in a db-engine agnostic way.
