We (heart) "I (heart) Sketch"

ILoveSketch from Seok-Hyung Bae on Vimeo. We gave ILoveSketch a brief mention in yesterday's 3D CAD News post, but this one's great enough to deserve some extra love. Click the above video, and watch probably the smoothest, best-realized attempt at a 3D sketch-driven interface currently out there. Most of the video is filmed in real time, so the speed with which the demonstrator is able to navigate, sketch and modify is extra impressive. Curve editing has received some special attention too: trimming, deleting and tweaking curves are all gesture-driven, and some nice touches like auto-merging of tangent sketch lines make it obvious the developers at University of Toronto understand the sketch process at least as well as they understand interface design. So, how long til we get to try it out?

This looks very impressive. Since it is gesture sensitive, and I am left-handed, I wonder how it works with a "southpaw".

I talked with Seok-Hyung via email and he says it does export to Maya ascii and iges (.ma) They are presenting it at UIST at the end of the month. so cool. I'm sure we'll see more of this.

Awesome! I would love to get a chance to give this a go. I just wonder if there is a reader/viewer program and if there is any way to interface or export to Solidworks/Alias/Pro-E etc.

That is amazing stuff. I have the same question: When can I get it?
