This is just TOO COOL!

Go here
http://www.curiouslabs.com/
or here
http://shade.e-frontier.co.jp/en/demo/index.html

and download the basic demo of Shade 7.
Install that puppy and run it.
WHen it fires up go onto the tool palette and
select Magical Sketch. Too cool or what?

As far as I can see this is a non expiring demo
but can only export to dxf rib or seq files.

That's as far as I've gotten with it but just
had to take a break and tell ya about it.

OK. I'm gonna go play with my toy. Carry on. As you were.

Yeah, that's pretty cool but, I've got a sneaking suspicion that those pics in the gallery were made by 'professional' artists. No, really.

It's the same as the original Teddy made by Takeo Igarashi, he has done tons of cool 3D creation stuff. Take a look at his site, and forget about Curious Labs :)
