What is Tesla?

[scottfox]

beveled ANYTHING. I absolutely agree on that. EI\Tesla could have a “bevel designer”
similar, at least a little, to invigerator. 98% of type done in C4d and Maya looks so
‘bad 3d-ish’ those apps are capable, but for beveling they seem cumbersome.

Hey Scott8983,

Why do you say Modeler didn’t like booleans?
I always thought Modeler was great at booleans.

Just one more point that seems very important to me concerning Tesla:

I´m into 3D-modeling for ten years now, most of the time with Unigraphics,
as I started out in the CAD-scene.
From the first day I was so lucky beeing able to use tools like spaceball (3D connexion nowadays…),
This tools save an incredible amount of time, because you can do several different navigation-movements
in ONE step and with the “non-mouse-hand”.
I always felt kind of castrated in modelers which didn`t support that devices.

So…please dont forget to implement the support of this essential tool. Everything else would be ridicolous in my eyes for a brandnew modeler called "Tesla". Please apologize this harsh words, but I know that even today there are a lot of modelers out there who still deny the benefits of that decice. Ok, everybody has got its own workflow…but working that way looks to me like using
“Fred Feuerstein”-cars without steering wheels…

Cheers

I doubt this, but I would love some form of a connection between Tesla and EIAS. Anything besides the usual save out Fact from Tesla, import Fact into EIAS. I know the future of Tesla and EIAS will most likely be more integrated but it would be nice in V1 to see something. Selfishly, I want to be able to import illustrator files into Tesla in some form.
Something for the ‘mograph/designers’ to be familiar with.

Side Note - just rendered 300 frames of heavily textured and raytraced D1 output in 12 minutes on my 8 core! I LOVE cameras speeeeed : )

It would be good if Tesla phases out facts all together. It’s a format that closed, and doesn’t allow for any current output like vertex animation, or clusters. The should go with FBX or something else than Just FACT.

Ya, that was my absolute favorite strength of Modeler. I thought Form-Z booleans were not as straight forward. Hope Tesla is everything that Modeler was and MORE!

Holy cow! The SpaceClaim product is amazing. Not a general D modeler, definitely geared toward CAD/CAM, but there are some very sweet features/implementations. In particular, the real-time feedback of most of the operations is very nice. Of course, at over $2000, it better be nice
