Predictive Strokes will watch what you draw and interpolate it into perfect lines and arcs. 3D Rules! One thing I used to take Alias to task about was its lack of solid design capability. I leave that alone now. True, it still doesn’t do solids, but it has much of the same construction methodology, so it’s not as big an issue. Of course, I think the biggest advantage to doing things the way Alias does is that users can model just about any- thing they can imagine. And there are some things you can do that are really interesting. AliasStudio 2008 has a Dynamic Shape Modeling tool group that allows users to add shape to their models after they’re built. People can be as precise as they care to be about the modeling as well as the resulting shape. The Bend command lets users bend models into curvier shapes (figure 3). The Conform command lets them build really complex elements and then wrap them onto a surface. It works great for those ubiquitous corporate logos High-quality 3-D printing at its best Sole printed on an Eden 3-D printing system featuring Objet's Polyjet™ technology, using FullCure® VeroBlue photopolymer material.
