A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A new computational ...

For fabrication, a 3D STEP file would be more useful than a 2D centerline sketch. Export as STEP AP214, and you can include ...

Designing 3D objects could be a lot easier when you’re working in 3D. That’s the premise behind Gravity Sketch, which is launching today as a virtual reality software tool that allows people to create ...

I used to love drawing cars (who am I kidding? I still do), but—and this hurts to admit—I’ve never been great at drawing the wheels. Circles are hard, man! And nothing ruins a cool neo-Pierce Arrow ...

People often use their hands when describing an object, while pens are great tools for describing objects in detail. Taking this idea, a KAIST team introduced a new 3D sketching workflow, combining ...

In the 1956 competition to design the city of Brasilia, Lucio Costa's proposal differed significantly from his competitors'. In contrast with the detailed plans and well-designed perspectives of the ...

@Last Software on Wednesday announced that it’s shipping SketchUp 4.0, a new version of the company’s 3D design software for Mac OS X and Windows. The software was released as a soft launch some weeks ...
