Revit Model on Your iPhone?
This is in no way a farse. I saw this myself and it’s pretty amazing! Ian wrote a custom exporter for Revit to break the model down into smaller chunks the iPhone could handle. It’s still only working on his phone but with a little more work he may be ready to launch for Alpha/Beta soon.
CamStudio - FREE Screen Capture Software
Hi All
I just wanted to let you know about this new program I have been using to make my screen capture videos. It’s call CamStudio. It’s FREE, easy to use and awesome! It lacks the editing capabilities of Camtasia but you can do that plenty of other ways. If anyone has some videos they would like [...]
Inventor - Wavy Wall
Santiago posted this on the forum yesterday and said
If anyone’s interested in knowing how this was modeled, please let me know. Otherwise, next time I randomly find another 20 minutes, I’ll randomly take this model further ahead in some random direction.
So….. Please let him know. Cause I am Thanks for posting Santiago!

3D NURBS Sketching
This is pretty amazing technology. I would say it’s a mix of Alias Sketch Book Pro & Studio Tools. You are basically drawing 3d curves as if you were drawing freehand on a tablet. The gesture UI is also pretty amazing.

Poly Boost
For anyone that has not used this plugin before you HAVE to check this out. I tend to abuse 3ds Max pretty well but this plugin really advances the modeling capabilities of 3ds Max. Also if you find your self saying “I wish max could do this,” PolyBoost probably has it.
FDM - Fusion Deposition Modeling
Similarly to what I’m doing to software, I’m going to build a list of various fabrication techniques on this blog. The first one I’m focusing on is FDM, or Fusion Deposition Modeling.
Software - VRMesh
VRMesh is a program I found while I was in school. I was looking for a way to re-triangulate a mesh that I had produced in Maya. The software is pretty light weight and inexpensive. It also has some interesting modeling features similar to Zbrush or Silo.
Ship Constructor
ShipConstructor is the dominant AutoCAD-based 3D product modeling and production planning software for the marine industry. ShipConstructor 2006 marries AutoCAD’s ease-of-drafting with the logical powers of a sleek SQL Server database design.
