Introducing form•Z 8!

Join us for this webinar replay featuring the exciting new features of form•Z 8 beta. The new subdivision modeling tools in form•Z 8 add a whole new dimension in free form organic modeling. These new form creation capabilities expand upon form•Z&already powerful modeling with interactive on-screen controls and tools that offer a whole new way to create smooth forms quickly. We will demonstrate how these subdivision models work well with 3D printers and how easily form•Z can convert them to accurate NURBS surfaces. We will also demonstrate how the new real-time ambient occlusion, soft shadows, bump mapping and multi-sampling features aid in visualization as part of the design process. You will experience: • How to convert a facetted object to a subdivision object, and set the number of subdivision iterations. • How to assign sharpness to subdivision objects, faces, or edges. • How to "grow" new faces and edges. • How to bridge and create new faces between existing subdivision faces and edges. • How to use subdivision surfaces to make convincing tensile structures. • How to create complex subdivision objects, such as a chair, beginning with only a cube.
