3D Modelling From a Sketch

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the helluva-lot-easier-than-autocad dept.

Basically, with a pen and tablet and a good Java applet, a user can start digitally modelling 3D structures about as easy as if they were molding clay with their bare hands. It was the demonstration video that made my jaw drop. Impressive!"

    Hmm, now why am I suspicious of a link to a video called "smoothteddy.avi"? Oh yeah, because this is Slashdot.

    Damn straight. Reading /. at -1 is like driving through Cracktown in a covertible that's stuck in first gear. There's a whole culture "down here" :)
