petter,
Because I am originally an engineer, CAD like CATIA matches to my sensibilities more than the software such as ALIAS.
I think the difference is only CAD-look or CG-look. However, In the surface styling, the work is same.
I like CATIA because a good output is obtained for not only the styling but also engineering work afterwards. (fillet, thickness, solid, assembly,,, etc.)
yeah. i 'm an engineer too(new and very young), i worked with those but not so much and i know the CAD capabilities very well. But my question was why does the designers still stick to AST(and similar) for designing. Things look more simple in catia than in AST, for example... althought people say AST have a more friendly interface and more flexibility wich i m not so sure about it.
Equinox, FYI everybody understands we are talking about 3D surfacing software. And regarding the subject Catia is the Pinnacle of it. Dude, Catia's kernel takes 19 decimal places into its calculations, as opposed for example to NX that takes 12.
FYI also, CATIA, for example is a complete solution from design to machining also. It converts all your nurbs to polymeshes, as well as all the needed CNC programming and simulation.
PETTER, Catia is not as flexible to work with as Alias. In Alias you have total freedom to do whatever u want, in very simple ways.
Because catia is more parameterized, it cant be so flexible. That s why AST is used still because it is fantastic, and then rebuilt into catia, with the specified engineering criteria more refined. Alias is on the design side, Catia on the engineering side, in a certain way.
petter,
I can't agree with "flexibility", but about "friendly", it might be correct.
CATIA provides quite a lot of functions. There are many possibilities with high reliability by effectively using the history and the feature.
As a result, the structure of data is complex.
Therefore, there might be a person who feels that it is difficult, too.
Thinking about shape based on dimensions is natural for the engineer. However, the knowledge of engineering tends to be necessary for it.
The designer with a shallow experience tends to be unpleasant in it. (however, I do not think them as a genuine designer.)
I think...
The engineer who has the sensibility of the styling is a better engineer.
The designer who has knowledge and the experience of engineering is a genuine designer.
I tried hypershot rendering option with maximum performance.
I think that it improved than before. What do you think?
Corrected the height of the air dam a little. The one before seems to have been too high.
In addition, rear deck seems to be also too high. I'll fix it later.

I didnt really understand your comment!
That's not the point here! I see we came from different world between serious NURB engingeering and NURB Visualization. So... There are no point of discussion. -- discussion terminated!
Fortunately, the highest level visualization (like an image of YAMAHA above )is not requested for my job.
However, in engineering world, there is a similar problem when STL is output for milling.
I've fixed rear deck height.
it seems to be good balance.
WoOoW ! Really amazing and clean, I love it, keep rocking friend.
I was planning to model this hyper car in 3ds max then I got some source images and videos for it, I uploaded the images here :
http://www.4shared.com/file/m4ZY-9rz/Source_Images.html (17 MB)
and I uploaded the videos I got on my friend's server for you, they were a bit more but I put most useful ones i think, if you want you can download them directly here :
-Removed-
4 Videos, Overall length 00:07:42
Sorry for my English, it will be better ! Good Luck Dude
