alias speedform

I never heard of him before, he must have been released recently.
Apparently they "fractioned" the old alias design, with a different interface, and a reduced number of features, and I imagine with a lower cost. quizthere is a comparison between the versions, and also on youtube find some videos.
alias is a powerful class nurbs modeler a, but I do not know until it is worth it with a remarkable reduction of the total functions. to the eye I think better rhino in this sense, will cost even much less I bet. :
 
Unfortunately it has been seen that the topology of the surface is not good after conversion from tsplines (speedform) to nurbs (import to alias).
Why reinvent the wheel? Why not simplify alias?
I feel like a sw to play with 3d printers.
 
that makes you think that they no longer support the development of the tsplines module of rhino?
who want to subtract to mcneel customers rhino with a more user-friendly modulator. imo.

to which mcneel is responding with the development of its subdivision surface module present in beta on wip rhino6. hoping it's ready for 2020:tongue:

at the time of rhino 2 all commands were based on a kernel not owned by mcneel, when autodesk acquired the rights on that kernel and did not renew the concession to mcneel left them in canvas arms. :cool:
since then the politics of bob mcneel was to not depend on anyone, but to develop everything in the house, even if the libraries were open source.
This is a very good decision, but this involves biblical development times between one realization and the other. :rolleyes:
 
I understood that there were tsplines, there were no videos, and in comparison it is not specified. :rolleyes:
In fact for those who do style in class to serious, it is not indicated, conversion leaves surfaces not perfect, for generic design we say yes. It's kind of a direct model fusion. multiply the products, you do not understand anything, you look like everyone! Perhaps this has a bit more advanced nurbs than fusion, but could not make a single program?

a program for purpose/function is cheaper than program that does everything.
already that alias costs little.. add speedform..
speedform only serves for the concept.
 
I was referring to fusion 360, same interface, integrated tsplines, direct modeling and nurbs, speedform will not have direct modeling, but a nurbs compartment a little more pushed (not comparable to alias) so it would be enough to expand the nurbs in fusion, and here is a complete sw for the concept. always theoretically, I don't know all the features of both.
 
the strategy of the autodesk is very clear:
if you can buy competing software and then close them as done with xsi,
if you cannot buy them, lightwave way to e.g. ,creates light versions of its sw as alias speedform and maya lt all for little less than a thousand dollars, to kill competition
 
it will be difficult with rhino, it has no class nurbs a, which serve a few, but the completeness of the functions, the cost, and above all the presence of an impressive number of integrated plugins very well, for the most diverse purposes, makes it unbeatable.
autodesk can only do it with almost all of its packages, it does not have a sw with the same characteristics, also because competitors do not have the problem of offering something light.

rhino is my favorite sw though unfortunately:biggrin: in pair with tspline is fabulous:tongue:
 
in fact up to a certain turnover is free for small companies, renewable year by year.
And anyway to the face! speedform costs, permanent license, 6500 euros! I miss who is addressed, since it is not possible to make class surfaces a.
from next year will all be in time.
an alias concept came out. and yet it is not clear who tspline beyond speedform, I think it is the only alias.
