Hi there; Does anyone out there use Realsoft3D, and if you do what do you think of it?? I used the demo and I may get the full verison 4.5.

I was somewhat inrigued with the site. The DL page didn't have any DL links so I can't check it out. Renders look good. At $700 its inbetween Carrara 2 and LW / Rhino / Electric Image. I'm happy with the Electric Image DvGarage toolkit which has a fantastic nurbs modeler. Metasequoia has a pretty good metaball section. Metaseq is free, dvgarage is $200. I'll check out the RealSoft when they get the site linked for demo download. Could be an interesting package that does it all in one app.

I have heard this is a good app unfortanetly i dont know many users of it id sugest seeing if they have a forum and browsing the threads in it if they dont have a demo u should get a good sense of what it can do that way

I'm trying the demo for v4.5 . Looks like a very powerful package. Only thing that worrys me is the support and resources out there. Been to a few links and a couple of forums. http://www.vrgrafix.com.au/Daemon/ Definitely have a look, people. Thinking of getting it for architectural and product visualisation work. Anyone out there care to give their 2 cents?

Finally got the demo. I'm staying with the dvgarage/Amorphium kit cuz that's a better package at less money. However, this does look promising. I'll check it out more over the next 30 days.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot of resources or users for Realsoft. If you compared it's "Subdivision Surface" organic style modeling to other apps, you'd probably sh!t bricks. I think it's hands-down the best there is. You can pretty much do an entire model without much more than your mouse and 3 modifier keys. Almost all the manipulation tools are built into the 'normals' indicators on the models surface. You can also draw in new edges one by one, and place the 2 end points wherever you want them, thus splitting an existing quad in half. Just click and drag. sooooo effin' easy!
