The 2010 version is still in beta, but that won’t keep us from pouring it half-baked from the beta container to poke at a bit. There are new User Interface (UI) tools, more Multibody mayhem, more for features and fun for drawings, all of which just might bring a more consistent workflow to your 3D world.
And it’s happening right here on SolidSmack. This week only, we’ll squeeze all we can out the SolidWorks 2010 Beta release and likely get informed, and perhaps a little ill, just talking about it.
Here’s what we have planned for the upcoming posts…
Markus Vogt – The Sci-Fi fantasy, surreal, and almost Gigeresque 3D/Photoshop art of Markus Vogt.
Reduce distractions from Co-workers – As if having to interact with them is bad enough, so here’s how to get rid of them. Get your saw out.
The Beetle Ceiling – An architectural marvel to behold. It’s odd, it’s shiny, it’s a bit creepy, it’s beetles.
Swebapps – Your turn to add to the app mania. Build your own mobile phone application in minutes. Not Free, but gives you an idea about price.
The Studley Tool Chest – A look inside the tool chest that defined the man. Poster being re-issued by FineWoodworking.
Save More by Doing Less – Ramit Sethi shows the practical approach to saving more of that willy, elusive cash.
Screenr – Instant screen capture for twitter, BUT you can embed it on any website or upload to YouTube. Easy.
50 Insane/Awesome Photoshop Brushes – The magic behind Photoshop, brushes. grab one or two and see what happens.
Spoon it on, cause the Photoview 360 2010 Beta Rendering Contest has gone through the first round, and the entries… are not too shabby. You’ll notice some enhancements right away, namely, Depth of Field (DOF), Decals and ohhhhhhh yeah, custom background and environments. How ya like them biscuits?
Below are the winners. You can see all the submissions at SolidWorks Gallery PhotoView 360 2010 Renderings
Your coffee table serves a lot of purposes, but Media Interaction Lab has one more to make your odd-looking neighbors peer in amazement, through the back window..
