formZ 9 Jr

Mit formZ Jr können Sie Modelle erstellen, um diese für technische Zeichnungen, photorealistische Renderings bis hin zur Produktion und den 3D Druck zu verwenden.

 

formZ Jr, previously called bonZai3d, is an application with a fresh approach to 3D modeling aimed at delivering conceptual design and sketching ideas quickly while still making it possible to carry you to the next level of productivity. formZ Jr's robust geometry creates models that can be used for construction drawings, photorealistic rendering, and fabrication.

 

formZ Jr’s simple, smart, and fun interface reveals unexpected capabilities and tools that complement and enhance creativity. Embedded tutorial videos facilitate the learning at one’s own pace and without the need for expensive training sessions. Intuitive tools include descriptive step-by-step guides and interface hints for a productive workflow.

 

 

Feature Highlights:

• Solid and Surface Modeling tools including Booleans, NURBS and Subdivision Surfaces.
• Native support for 64 architecture on OS X allows for more content craetion.
• Imports SKP, KMZ, DWG, DXF, DAE, OBJ, SAT and STL files.
• Exports DWG, DXF, SAT, DAE, and STL for 3D printing.

 

What’s new in formZ 8 Jr?

formZ 8 Jr introduces subdivision modeling as a new personality to formZ's diverse modeling capabilities. Subdivision modeling is a method for creating unique organic forms. These organic models start from a simple base cage that can be dynamically manipulated and reformed with a new suite of tools that provide operations like grow. Subdivision models are parametric allowing for continued manipulation as well as dynamic control of the surface resolution.

 

The subdivision tools are also useful for quickly smoothing or softening a facetted model. Subdivision objects can be converted to NURBS for additional manipulation and evaluation using formZ’s extensive NURBS tools. Subdivision objects work great with 3D printing as they produce regular meshes that tend to give excellent results with popular 3D printers. Useful for tensile structures, organic surfaces ranging from exotic roofs to character meshes, these new tools make formZ more versatile than ever before!

 

The formZ interactive display modes have been completely rewritten to take advantage of modern OpenGL capabilities. This is most noticeable in Shaded Full display mode with new real-time ambient occlusion, bump mapping, soft shadows and multi sampling features. These improvements aid in real-time visualization and design evaluation as they yield better depth perception and spatial definition.

 

Sketchfab.com is a website that allows you to share your 3D models so others can view and navigate around the model in real time. You can publish your models through Sketchfab.com, or you can embed them into your own web pages. There is a new Sketchfab upload option in the Extensions menu that allows for uploads to Sketchfab directly from formZ.
