Meshmixer 2.0 Now Available
It is Alive in the Lab: Meshmixer is an experimental 3D modeling tool developed by Autodesk Research and the Consumer team. The goal of meshmixer is to make it easy to compose new 3D models from existing meshes.

Just from watching this short video, this software looks very user friendly and while having the ability to create some very amazing creations. The time lapse video shows basic 3D alterations that don't seam too difficult to exiquite. I do also believe that this software is available for free download allowing many people to access the technology. The 3D printing capability also looks incredibly useful for someone who likes to create using a 3D printer. Maybe sometime in the future I will purchase this software and use it to assist my designing.
This is definitely interesting and I really want to try one. As watching this video, I was awed by how easy it seemed to make some transformation on any objects. It seemed that you just have to erase or crop the part you don't like and then replace the part by dragging and adjusting another object. I think this program will work the best in SciFi movies or 3D art modeling. I love how AutoDesk is developing continuously in more efficient way. When I was first introduced into AutoDesk product, even drafting was so hard, yet I was surprised how accurate I can draft in more convenient way. Looking at another skill that can be done in AutoDesk, I think this is really cool and I want to be skilled in AutoDesk products, so that I can try this.
That is way too cool. I would love to experiment with that. Of course, watching that video I got the feeling that the technology they were showcasing is not actually that easy to use. It's like when you watch a photoshop tutorial and think you can go replicate the mona lisa only to be sorely surprised when you actually try and navigate the software. I will say from the advertising stand point, this video made me want to download the software right away and start making digital objects (though I'm sure there would be a great deal of learning I would have to do before I could actually print something)
Not only is this a great tool for 3D modeling, but it's also great for use in Media concepts. How amazing would it be to be able to try and project something like that onto a screen. I feel like this is a great "break through" of sorts with those kinds of things. Judging by the look of the video, although complex, the system looks relatively easy to maneuver and utilize and I think that's really great. A lot of editing software can be rather confusing to use and having easy ways of using software is great. The other day I used Motion which is a form of media software and I was having a lot of difficulty using it even with tutorials. So having something that looks more manageable and fun is great to see.
I know a little something about 3D modeling on the computer. I know how to use 3 or four different pieces of software that help with that task. Each of the major programs out there (Rhino, Autocad, Solid works, Maya, and more) has it's own little chunk of the market that it can serve best. So there is a place for all of these programs. From what I have seen of Meshmixer 2.0, it follows the same system. Meshmixer is better than most other 3D modeling programs at working with meshes that already exist. This isn't something I have needed a lot in the past, but I'm sure that for some fields this could be really helpful. For example someone (like a props master) who had just scanned some objects with a 3D scanner may want to work with the meshes together. The video makes Meshmixer 2.0 look very easy to use. I think that ease of use is one of the most important qualities in a piece of software. I hope that at some point I get the chance to give Meshmixer 2.0 a try.
