sketch-based 3D modeling software.. EASY!!

OK, I haven’t actually tried it yet, but it looks very cool! It isn’t going to replace high end 3D model tools, but for simple (cartoonish looking) stuff this looks good. And Fun too!

Teddy is a sketch-based 3D modeling software.
You can make interesting 3D models just by drawing freeform strokes.

The site has a demo video clip. I recommend watching it! :shock:

Very impressive that they had something like this working that well, 7 years ago! And very surprising that it hasn’t been snatched up by any commercial entity.

Wasn’t this allready posted here also?

yep, its already posted here somwhere.

For what it’s worth, Takeo worked with Sony to develop the whole concept into a (Japan-only) PS2 title a few years back.
