Hi Alfonso,
I've used the software (just playing) to make several head models, a hand, and
some cave models to fly (swim) through. I assume the PXP has an interactive
user interface similar to you DOS and Windows versions. Some miscellaneous
comments in no special order:
I liked having all the buttons available on one screen in the Windows version.
I had difficulty in zooming and setting the view efficiently in both versions.
I did not like the relationship between the final mesh density and the number
of blobs – as I added more blobs and made a larger model I would have liked to
have more density in the mesh. I had trouble with occasional extra faces on
the surface of the mesh which gave problems with smoothing – requiring manual
face/vertex editing. I noticed some inconsistencies in the operation of the
buttons in the user interface. I liked the quick shading previews. I'd like a
way to add a blob to an existing mesh that was perhaps made by another method,
for example to a side of a box.
I haven't had a chance to use the program since the first time or two, so I
can't remember anything else just now.
