Latest:

We have a new review of VectorWorks Architect 2008. It features over 6 QuickTime movies and lots of screen shots. Also read our new product review of Maxon's CINEMA 4D v10.5 here complete with several QuickTime movies demonstrating key features.

Big News! Houdini for Mac has been announced, early beta program started. Nemetschek AG re-launches global branding campaign and Acrobat 9 coming...see news below!

3D CAD on iPhone? You Bet!

Swedish-based Demicron announces Mac OS X Universal Binary version of WireFusion 5.

A new Cheetah 3D and a superb 3D event in Boston.

New: Please consider joining our Editorial Interview Group. Email us to learn more.

We have three new segments of our Interview Series with Sean Flaherty, CEO of Nemetschek North America: Articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 up now.

SolidWorks has denied the existence of a version for Mac OS X, which is clearly bad news for those SolidWorks users who love the Mac. Folks should not miss out on Tim Danaher's excellent IMSI TurboSketch Studio product review. A must read for SketchUp users!

Graphisoft had record attendance at its International Partner's Conference in Germany and in more ArchiCAD news a Denver architect is the latest BEK Competition winner.

Lastly in really hot news Luxology has Rhino and SketchUp plug-ins for modo 301 users. VectorWorks 2008 has been launched in Japan and Autodesk earned a Technical Academy Award.

Lastly, Ilexsoft has updated their HighDesign CAD program for Mac OS X.

This Month 5-Years Ago

Five years ago this month Autodesk announced MotionBuilder 7.5 after after Kaydara was acquired by Alias and then Alias by Autodesk. We wondered then how development would go for Mac users since Kaydara was a strong supporter of the Mac. Today MotionBuilder is still at version 7.5 -- albeit two service packs later. Let's hope Autodesk offers a major update soon!
