Here's a quick rundown of what's out there now (along with some general impressions based on what little we've seen), and what's on its way:įorm Z - Self-described as a "general purpose solid and surface modeler," Form Z has a definite entry-level look and feel to it, and most of the sample projects in the gallery bear this out. Unless you pursue the solution of one studio we saw, and keep both a Mac and a PC on every desk, the 3D modelers among you have probably gotten resigned to an unfair bargain: use Parallels to run your CAD in a half-assed way on your sexy Mac, or proclaim "I'm a PC" whether you like it or not.ĭevelopers of 3D CAD packages have been listening, though, and while not nearly to the level of their PC-based counterparts, a number of options exist for Mac-native modeling. With a Jobs-less MacWorld now underway, we are reminded of two things: how much we yearn for the sweet, clean surfaces and brilliant interfaces of Apple's progeny and how the need to do serious 3D CAD keeps them away from us.
