I take your point about AutoSurf, but the thing is that the two strings of
manufacture and visualisation should be able to integrate much more. I've been
commissioned to produce a model of a new kind of engine. It is for a small
company and they would like to kill two birds with one stone and have CNC data
and product visualisation and video from the same data input.
AutoSurf, Autocad and AME all have the facility to convert surface or model
information into mesh or 3d face data. It is this conversion and then
translation to 3ds faces that I would like to see improved. It seems to me
that although Autocad and 3d Studio have leapt ahead in the last 3 years the
connectivity has not progressed much from the old DXF/3DS utility. Maybe I'm
setting my sights too high.
