This is an awesome program... under development and so far for PC only, I think. Never seen anything like it for quick organic stuff. Beg, grovel and plead with this guy to develop this one! He just calls it "Teddy" http://www.mtl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~takeo/teddy/teddy/teddy.html

All I have to say is.......WOW! I am totally impressed and in awe of this? But, does anyone know what the "screen" drawing monitor tool/software is? I have one of those tablet things, but I never use it because it makes me "KOO-KOO"......I can't draw something on the tablet, where I can't see what is happening unless I am looking at the screen and I GET totally confused. What they show here looks like something I would LOVE to have. (: Take care and thanks for sharing this. genny

Genny... Not sure what your question is. I have this "Teddy" thing on 2 computers already... one computer just has a mouse and the other has a mouse and wacom pen tablet. I draw (see the web site) all the time with both a mouse and the pen tablet (I quit using paper about two years ago). I never look at the mouse or the tablet when I draw, just at the screen. I didn't look at my pencil when I drew on paper either... As far as this "teddy" software, you can draw with either the mouse or the tablet. Hope this helps some (?????) Oh... my site is http://nateowens.com

I agree, Genny... the lcd tablets (they let you draw right on the screen) may be your best answer....

Also available is this similarly simplistic meta modeller: http://www.softy3d.com

Actually, I have used Softy and another program, Organica for doing organic modeling. My favorite is Organica. Organica, Softy and other programs of that sort make use of a MetaBall type system that allows layering many many shapes together to arrive at your model. The thing that impressed me with "Teddy" is how fast it is to create things that would take many times longer in these other programs - it is very intuitive and holds a lot of promise. If the developer can get it out of a dos-functioning beta into the windows environment with a good interface and the ability to use the windows memory capabilites and add a lot of other stuff like exporting to different formats, it will be an extremely useful tool. It is in the early stages, it is awesome in its simplicity and I think they need all the encouragement they can get to go for it.
