Juanxer Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Yus we can! :) I wonder what can be done to make it a viable contender. The competition is rather fierce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJoly Posted May 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 This is the time to go ahead with suggestions that could make the EIModeler the best tool for our needs. I worked with FormZ and Silo and both had quirks in exporting to Fact. No tool is perfect but if we all pitch in, the Modeler could be the tool we need. Like the song said: ...You can't always get what you wantYou can't always get what you wantBut if you try sometimes (and pitch in) you might findYou get what you need! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMeyers Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Richard … Wow … have no idea what I could contribute - still have modeler on a 2000 - 17" iBook pro (LOL) - haven't used it in years though … but if I were to request anything it would be automatic - adjustable - configurable - beveled text (which used to be in FormZ - but was removed several versions ago) … The beveled text in EI currently is good … however … a variety of adjustable bevel options would be wonderful. And for that matter - adjustable bevels on all 3d created objects would be a major plus. Thank you … for doing this … Hal Hal Meyers p.s. - Oh … I might be able to assist when it comes time to create the PDF / interactive manual / … 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moolit Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thanks for checking. Active development as we speak. Here is a screen grab from my computer... I will make some formal specifications as I get closer to a product. My goal is to have in next couple of months an alpha version. -Kishore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweaz Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've kept an old G4 with OS9 around just to use EIM. It's by far the most intuitive modeling program for me, as an illustrator. I've waited a long time to get this news! THANK YOU! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualcomms@gmail.com Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi, I just joined. Still waiting for the new dongle. This is interesting. Personally, I've found Sketchup 3d to be the most intutitive modeller - even for importing into eias, and I've tried a few. if there is an alpha, I'd love to try it and help if I can. The more like sketchup 3d, I'd say, the better for eias users. It just snaps and extrudes so simply and intuitively. Great use of guides, automatic completion of shapes. More intuitive than any other program, I'd say. Make sure to include some sort of an easy geometric star/polyhedron tools. The best layer tools I've ever seen were in Form-Z. ghost, unghost, lock, unlock. certain functions are very repetitive. I'm still a fan of Illustrator88 :-) for simplicity of graphic interface... I hope it doesn't try to compete with maya in terms of complexity :-/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
