Hi XROK1

Actually I already have FreeDimension ;-). As an organic free form modeling tool it is brilliant. Using it is pretty much like sculpting some kind of a digital clay or jelly. The concept it´s based on is equally brilliant (adaptive/dynamic polygon mesh surface interpolation between (2+n)-sided patches defined by interconnected freeform curves). FreeDimension is polygon mesh based and it is an excellent concept modeler, especially when it coms to free flowing shapes.

However, if you want to make precision "man made like objects" NURBS is the way to go and MoI´s unique brilliant user interface makes it the modeling application of choice.



P.s. FreeDimension has the ability to export NURBS if the iges exporter plugin is purchased, so FreeDimension + MoI might be a quite powerful combo in the hands of a skilled artist/designer.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Boatstalker
