Maxon has released an update to Cinema 4D that introduces procedural scattering tools, more realistic liquid simulation, and performance improvements aimed at faster rendering. The update also continues integration with Redshift, Maxon's GPU-accelerated renderer, to streamline the move between 3D animation and final rendering.
A Hacker News 'Ask HN' post from a hobbyist woodworker who currently uses Shapr3d to manually design projects asks whether large language models can speed up 3D modeling for woodworking. The poster is soliciting recommendations from the community for AI tools or workflows suited to this use case.
Autodesk has introduced a new AI-powered tool designed to help teams navigate and manage the complex 3D models used throughout building projects. The assistant aims to reduce errors that occur when architects, engineers, contractors, and consultants collaborate on the same detailed digital model, catching issues like misaligned structural elements before they become costly problems.
Formas has released Cartesian, an AI-powered 3D modeling tool aimed at architects and product designers. Users can describe an idea in words, sketch it, or drag in a reference image, and the tool generates a precise 3D model without requiring traditional CAD skills.
