Hi all;
Not really about KeyShot, but I wanted my fellow SolidWorkers to know about a mind-blowing new app called nPower "Power Surfacing for SolidWorks". I learned of it in the latest issue of Desktop Engineering. I just downloaded the demo, and played with it this AM. Frankly, I'm stunned! It allows us full subD modeling within SolidWorks, back-and-forth! And, of course, that leads us to even better KeyShots, not to mention happier clients!
Check out http://www.npowersoftware.com/PowerSurfacingSWoverview.html (http://www.npowersoftware.com/PowerSurfacingSWoverview.html) , and be sure to watch the tutorials and videos.
I made this model this AM in about 15 minutes after installation. It's not a serious work, just a test. The "lump" was created in SW using Power Surfacing, and the "legs" and base in direct SW modeling. I edited the lump several times, all without leaving SolidWorks. The last screenshot was like a 10 second edit just for fun.
In my book, this new app is a no-brainer, and, even though it may be a bit pricy depending on your usage or need, I fully intend to add it to my pipeline!

Yes Bill, that's cool stuff!
Sadly, it doesn't exactly fit my own line of work (check current KeyShot customer story to get a glimpse of what I do ;)).
Persuading the office to get KeyShot was easy, but this is something else...
Any ideas are welcome! :D
