Plasticity 3D – CAD for Artists

"The best solid and surface modelling" - the website of the developer, Nick Kallen (plasticity.xyz), this new modelling tool, currently in version 1.2.10, is advertised as "CAD for artists". It is said to be an optimised NURBS modeller based on the PARASOLID geometry kernel. The UI and workflow are based on Blender's polygon modeller. The developer claims to simplify modelling for concept artists and product developers in particular, but also for CAD users, and to enable faster results than with conventional CAD tools.

Womp: Simple 3D for everyone?

"No downloads or grey apps with 1,000 buttons. Just your browser and your creativity". The website www.womp.com presents itself colourfully and confidently and promises to make 3D modelling easy for everyone. Womp, an online 3D application, is currently still in the alpha phase and is still free to try out. The Womp team promises that Womp Alpha will remain 100% free. A "Pro version" with a wider range of functions is planned for later - the current version has only been released for about a month. A price does not yet seem to have been set.

Lightwave 3D 2019 – the continuation of a new beginning?

Lightwave 2019 is out, now already the 3rd fixed version, Lightwave 2019.0.3, with a decent list of fixes. What not even the most loyal fans may have expected has materialised: Newtek has delivered the fastest upgrade in its history for the proven and production-tested 3D modelling, animation and rendering software. After a period of uncertainty, everything is now set to change for the better. The list of current features is extremely long, and the response from the remaining, die-hard Lightwave users is correspondingly high.
