Rhonda - 3D drawing

It's always good to give people reminders of what is possible when you don't stick with just a mouse and keyboard. This is a very nice piece of interface work for 3D drawing. The system is called Rhonda. The drawing is a bit on the abstract art side, but it's easy to see the level of control he has.



The great thing about 3d drawing is that the current tools are awful, so new ways of doing it are always interesting. Unfortunately, the bad thing about 3d drawing is that there are a relatively small number of people on the planet that really want to do it. So, it's unlikely these interfaces become widespread outside the domain.

  2. I am mystified when you say there is no market for this...hook this up a tool like ZBrush and every digital sculptor in Hollywood will want one -- though I think Z already does a great job of interpreting tablet strokes to make shapes like the ones depicted in the vid.

  3. A limited market... until 3D printing becomes reliable consumer technology (see reprap.org). At which point *everyone* will want to be able to sketch up new coffee mugs and toothbrush handles.

    OK, maybe not quite like that, but it will certainly attract crafters, hobbyists, and handymen. Very cool demo, thanks for posting.

    This would be amazing to use!!!

    Definitely combined with Zbrush and a tablet... I've always wanted to just draw my 3d figures.

    I'm guessing these are splines? Great post!

  18. I'm an engineer. I've used only AutoCad in 3D so I don't know if any of the newer 3D CAD packages (ProE, SolidWorks, IDEAS) are any easier to use but AutoCad is not easy or intuitive for many people. I think there is potential for this type of interface for technical drawing if not for artisitic uses.
