Reviewer: Richard Helms
 
Review: “I beta-tested AccuRender and AccuModel for RMA quite some years ago. I have not used it since then. I had a project that required a full-motion animation with a fly-thru and near photorealistic rendering, so I purchased the bundle.
The bundle is far less expensive than any competing software.
I received the bundle without any delay.
I was able to use it "right out of the box". The features that I needed were readily available in the tutorials and help. I was running the tutorials and help, side-by-side, with the animation I needed to create.
I was successful in creating an animation in less than two weeks. The animation is 359 frames rendered at 1080 x 756. It will appear in a product show on Oct. 30th for some very high-end customers. This is only three weeks from when I initially placed the order.
RMA and Novedge rock!”]]> http://www.novedge.com/Newsletter.asp?ID=36#UR NVGNL-36-257 <![CDATA[Blog: Interview with Mark Vorwaller, VX CAD/CAM CEO]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:03:56 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NovedgeMonthlyNewsletter/~3/5isE_AJKLUE/Newsletter.asp There is a CAD company that has been around for many years that makes a fully integrated CAD/CAM system offering a powerful combination of solid modeling and surface modeling few others can match, with a devoted following of loyal customers. Yet only a few users of CAD will mention this company's product in the list of their top 5 most popular CAD systems. This is because at VX all the energy goes into improving their CAD system rather than into marketing. The promotion of the system is mostly left to word of mouth. While it's an old marketing tool, and slow, if you have a great product it is also very effective. The person that shaped VX, the product, and VX, the company, is Mark Vorwaller. After meeting Mark for the first time at last year's COFES, I asked him for an interview.]]> http://www.novedge.com/Newsletter.asp?ID=36#BL NVGNL-36--1 <![CDATA[Latest arrivals: What's New]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:03:56 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NovedgeMonthlyNewsletter/~3/jkeJYePw7q8/Newsletter.asp 3D Arsenal is an integrated software solution designed to meet the needs of the video editor for the creation of 3D animation.
