anybody do that?
Interesting, Go top this page http://www.cosmicblobs.com/get_started.html click on one of the videos and look at what is in the bottom of that screen. REALLY????????

sw 2005 beta testers were sent an invitation a while back to have thier kids (those that have children) try this.
SolidWorks Corporation ("SolidWorks") is test-marketing to the public (including children under the age of 13) the SolidWorks COSMIC BLOBS software. I can here the jokes about Solidworks allready.
my kid loves it. he's 6. he has made some pretty neat looking stuff. future swx jockey! i haven't gotten bored yet because there isn't a lot of control, dimesionally, where things end up so the challenge is to be precise with out much precision. it hasn't crashed on me yet but i will say it gets pretty chunky after what seems like very little surface data. myabe this is there baby steps program. run all the rookies thru the blobs course then they can graduate into the big boy program! bottom line is that it is pretty cool to watch your 6 yr old mold this virtual clay into pokemon and mice and what looked like a dna strand...he might just be a genius i believe the children are our future, teach them blobs and let them lead the way...;0)
Well, since I don't have a clue what you're talking about, I probably don't. On the other hand, I'm reminded of the man who was thrilled to find out that he had been writing prose his whole life. Perhaps I've been doing cosmic blobs without being aware of it. How would I know? Jerry Steiger Tripod Data Systems "take the garbage out, dear"
wow yeah would be great to have something as fluid as that to work up some concepts...might start using it myself.
in fact SW should give it a nice interface for us oldies and make it so that the 'clay' model is available in the SW window in a similar manner that we can import 2D images for reference. just a thought...sorta like a holographic sketch.
I agree it would be nice if some or all of this stuff was available in SW with a little more accurate control. Maybe that's the plan. Try it out on kids and get the kinks worked out then release it to the SW Community in a nice stable working order????? Hmmmmm
seems to me that the graphics preview/sectioning/revolve detail engine in SW is somewhat different from the actual geometric defined model with its undo baggage etc. I wonder if this blobs program is based on that. in which case it should be possible to directly incorporate it as a fast visual concept tool.
I had no idea what the man meant by the term until I saw the link in later posts -- I was just shooting my "mouth" off. But the cosmic blob stuff does seem to have some interesting characteristics. I wonder if there is any output possible to a file format that SolidWorks can import? 'Sporky'
