This has come up in some separate discussions, and I thought it merited its own thread.
Here are a couple of applications which I’ve become aware of which have interesting interfaces — curious as to what folks’ thoughts are, and what other applications there might be.
Apparently you use a pair of VR goggles and a special pen to sketch in 3D space, allowing one to create a wireframe hanging in the air (the photo in the article shows a car).
This was mentioned at: https://www.grzsoftware.com/users/cad/ and is notable for being a 3D program developed by the lead developer of Rhino and intended for use with graphics tablets.
The scary thing is that with AI, that sort of thing will probably happen presently — apparently the “deepnude” software was recently opensourced (or reverse engineered? I only saw the headline/mention, didn’t bother to read the article).
Picked up a copy from a CD bundled w/ a British software magazine ages ago, but at the time didn’t have a machine with a video card which could run it.
I have used the demo of Shapr3D on my Ipad Pro with pencil. Once I got it worked out it was surprisingly easy to use, I felt that if you could pair it with a built in iOS slicer/postprocessor and could send the file over wifi to 3Dprint or cut on CNC that it would be a pretty cool workflow for simple objects
I reckon you could go that way - unfortunately I can’t test that, I have been using PC’s for a year or two now - Use Solidworks and Aspire a lot so a PC is the easier option for me.
I wonder if you could interface your iPad with a printer or router running octoprint or similar? I reckon the Nomad running something like octoprint with a little 7" touch screen would be awesome
Thank this is interesting if very scant on details, no dates, no information on platform supported, price, built-in capabilities, ability to export, etc. I’ll have to keep an eye on it
