FINALLY! ILoveSketch

pior

Been waiting for something like this since ... forever

http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~shbae/ilovesketch.htm

I remember when I first saw screenshots of 3D apps like Alias Studio I thought it would work like that. (obviously didnt hehe). Now it seems like it's about to be true! 3D sketching YAY!

Now if only there was a demo somewhere...

Japhir

I wants it . looks very cool!

hawken

incredible

hobodactyl

Yessssssss... that looks painfully awesome!

Ferg

I'd hit it

aesir

cool, but I really dont see how it's useful... for much of anything..

vik

Looks promising. Also really like how everything is done through gestures, no menus or silly buttons, very intuitive. :poly142:

woa...

If it's anything I learned in my first year in the Film/tv industry, there is a need/demand for rapid prototyping and pre-viz. It's seems like a handy app in bringing what could be 2D concepts into 3D, being able to see more than just a planer view. Being able to augment the sketch on the fly. (especially for concept artists who build ortho's for the modelers and they could never quite match up to the perspective sketch)

Of course I don't think this could replace thumb nailing, where as the art director goes around picking and choosing your designs you sketched out in a few min. Where as it looks like it too a few mins to do 1 sketch.

If you could export those nurbs curves in the future it would be handy to have them as guides. Since you know that the concept is sound in 3D, all you would hafta do is model around those guides, possible cutting down on the time to tweak a model after it's built from orthos.

jesus this seems like something i would never get bored with.. i want it!!!

ScoobyDoofus

OMG thats amazing. That sorta stuff is an element of the future of human-machine interaction.

Davision3D

Awesome!
Looks like a lot of fun... once you have figured out how to use all that gestures.

Sa74n

wow how nice is that?! i really hope this will be released!

Kevin Albers

Very nice indeedy.

super_villain

Win! Can't wait till that hits the market.

neolith

Wow! When and how much?

bounchfx

holy carp thats neat.

struve

OMG, i must have this!!

I can see elements of the workflow of this app being integrated in to general 3d apps- imagine setting up your base edgeloops for your mesh- you could then create the cage from it whether it's for nurbs or tris. It wouldn't be the whole process that uses this method but another means of quickly laying down the volumes.

Also could work wonders for deforming meshes; You have your mesh, create the curve of the distortion which is editable on the fly.

FYI - there is a bunch of .ma to download, looking clean!
With a few minutes of nurbs surfacing it would be the best template ever for modelling polygonal meshes.

Target_Renegade

Brilliant, it basically brings sketching closer to those who can't do perspective as well as creating 3d models.

Looking forward to a demo.

Mister Sentient

I'd buy that for a dollar! The demonstration makes it look so intuitive and fun. Definitely want to try this out.

ebagg

Do want! Gimme gimme gimme!

This will be awesome for 3d pipelines, can't wait to get my hands on it and can't wait to see how far you guys can push the art with it!

headengine

Looks incredible.

We're all jizzing over it, imagine what vehicle designers and architects will do...!
