Alias 2025.1 What's New

[@METATRONRUBEDO-d5d]

This is a promising software and in the future it can aim to replace CAD and Nurbs software currently on the market with a modern interface and reasonable UI layout. The only problem with this software is that it does not have a system or a large enough number of users to make full, clear and detailed tutorials about it. Along with that, the control mechanism at first is quite difficult to operate, especially in terms of shortcut keys. I am a user of Maya, 3DS Max, blender and I am familiar with the shortcut keys to navigate objects and cameras there but I want to expand to a new field but operating with this new software is still a bit difficult even though I am getting used to it. Can the developer include the feature of switching shortcut keys and quick operations like other software so that more users know and use it? This is a great software with a very high development prospect. I hope my opinion will be considered, evaluated and listened to. Thank

If you're looking for mixed modeling of CAD(solid) and NURBS(Surface), best one in the market is NX also its direct modeling is like Fusion360 on steroid and it even navigate with middle scroll mouse control exactly like Blender. Only downside of NX is some crunky retro process that still stick around so the workflow is not slick but super powerful.

This software is actually very old. I started using it in the early nineties when it was called Alias Power Animator. In the early 2000s it lost most of its animation features (forces, particles) as these were available in the then new Maya. Autostudio nowadays is mostly used by car companies as it is still the best NURBS based concept and class A modelling software. Unfortunately its main code base is very old and therefore most of the development in the last years was only concentrated on the UI. Recently Autodesk even removed the software rendering feature as well after they were unable to code in a proper renderer for years. (Some might remember that failed Mental Ray attempt...) It's a shame as the code really needs a refactoring but that will never happen. It's still a great NURBS surfacing software but there are also much cheaper alternatives.

В иконки поиграть! Лучше сделайте многофункционал работы только с линией и фигурами, больше нафиг ниче не нужно!

В других софтинах от автостола примерно тоже самое))
