forgot a freebie by a major company --- dassault systemes: 2d AutoCAD LT -esque applicationwith dassault systemes and siemens giving away 2d cad for free, as well as imsi, and archicad starter edition and vectorworks coming in between 1100 and 2000, it makes you wonder why people will pay around 1500 now just for autodesk autocad lt and almost 4000 for autocad
my pleasure --- like i said, it makes you wonder --- siemens and dassault and sidefx and imsi are very impressive companies with very impressive products --- and they give away some damn good tools for free (as does autodesk)in particular, i'm really impressed with siemens' and dassault's free 2-d cad drafting app'sbut you know, honestly, architects do not do the homework and blindly accepting trends --- that is how autodesk gets away with itbut even beyond blind acceptance of autodesk products as required, there are other examples as well --- if you've ever used rhino+grasshopper for algorithmic design and think this is a methodological break-through (which it is for us), you have only to look at sidefx's houdini that has been doing it this way for about 15-20 years to realize we are late to the party and that any procedural capacity max or maya or grasshopper offer pales in comparison to what houdini will do and has been doing for a long time --- then if you look around some more and realize that this same capacity is what makes softimage so useful and cinema 4d and virtools as well, you realize that we may be the only designers for whom this approach is new and novelautodesk makes good software, but it is more expensive than any other in each respective class and is arguably never the performance leader in the class and comes with the worse customer service (imo) (revit vs archicad, inventor vs solidworks, etc) --- and even when it buys the performance leader in the class, as when it bought maya or softimage, within a few years the software trends toward being less well-regarded, with diminishing performance and being more bloated, even if its distribution does increase, as is the sadly the case with maya and now softimagean interesting reference: -cgenies-big-cg-survey-is-now-open-have-your-say.html
I may be pilloried for it, but my attitude tends to be "Nothing wrong with that!" A good design isn't only "cutting edge", sometimes it's simpler than that. You say there's innovation in the field of materials assembly - absolutely! But aren't you talking about not outright copying, but improving on the original, aka innovating? Taking someone else's science and refining/tweaking/building upon it? That's worlds of different from copying a software disc so 20 of your friends don't have to pay for it. Open source software that builds on developers' base isn't a bad idea and is impossible to fight, anyway.So perhaps my argument that there is a similarity between architectural design and software design was mistaken. I definitely prefer to traffic in the world of materials.Aside: I have a little familiarity with the world of pharmaceuticals --- not in THAT way, I mean I know a lot of people who work for Eli Lilly! Now I'm no big fan of the hard-push advertising policies of drug companies, but I feel the amount of time given to them to research, develop, then test a new drug before their copyright goes away is criminally small. It pushes the profit above all else because they simply can't let the profit window close. And we're talking millions upon millions of dollars in risk for a compound that may save lives or may end up in the toilet.I guess I'm also a sucker for "doing the right thing" - I've never downloaded free music, and I feel guilty when I occasionally buy a storebrand knock-off of a cosmetic. I accidentally got two boxes of cookies at Trader Joes last week when my son carried one out of the store - and trust me, I'm going to make them ring the box up twice next week!
Cosmos Blobs is available as CB Model Pro. Its on the SolidWorks labs site for free download. Its been re-faced with a "non kiddie" look. ( ). From reading statements about Cosmos Blobs and the math engine behind it and CB Model Pro - its apparently something being seriously considered for "real" engineering work at some point in the future. Interesting to see if there will be any announcements now that PTC and Siemens have both announced their plans...
