Thank you for making the 3D modeling experience so much fun! Creativity meets freedom.

I'm sold. I think this update is the tipping point for me to invest in buying this software. This is like applying sub-d modeling skill to a CAD workflow and its awesome.

AMAZING, I really love the new features and improvements. Thank you!!

Nick, you are a fucking MONSTER at turning out these updates. Great work man! I recommend Plasticity to every person that is into 3D that I meet. So happy to have purchased a copy.

Incredible! I can't wait to play with these. Thank you

Holy Moly! It was already the most super intuitive CAD I've used before this update.. but now it's another level! Thank you so much for pushing this tool forward 🥰😇

You rock!!! No joke, I was literally searching around last night to see when to expect the next update. Then today this! Looking forward to trying these new features!

I've been on the fence since launch but I think you just sold me with this update. Phenomenal!

This is Incredible!!! Thank you so much to keep evolving and improving this amazing tool!

OUTSTANDING software Nick! Early adopter of Plasticity and loving the continuous improvements and surfacing tools. Plasticity + Blender is a formidable team. Mahalo!

Raise Degree ... is going to change my work flow! Thank you Nick!

FULL UI Customization and I would buy this for sure! Time management is key. Awesome progress to NX Tech. xNurbs is also amazing! Keep up!

Looks incredible. Thanks for all your hard work.

Can’t wait! Plasticity is the best program I’ve used in a long time

Applause! Nice features have been added! Thank you very much!👏🙂

Just thankyou! Amazing update as always. Keep this great work, congrats!!!

bro you are the best, plasticity is fabulous, every new functionalities comes always at the right time for my needs

Awesome update Nick, I tried following along modeling and yeah it's crazy cool how easy and fast. Great Work buddy!

Excellent work, Nick!! Thank you!!!

I'm digging the CV editor, which is clutch for things like complex shapes

Oh my God thats so cool Nick! Awesome stuff!

It`s great to see these awesome updates! Keep up that good work.

the dependent offset function is amazing!

OMG, what a thing of beauty this upgrade is! I cannot wait to get it installed and use it.

This program really correlates well with its name! Love it!!

Just wow. Bought the tool. You are building an amazing tool.

Congrats Nick! I already renew :) Keep up the great work.

Keep up the amazing work! Please bring in parametric history too. Absolute game changer when that comes along. You will completely own the market by that point.

Wow. So excited to try out the new festures! Amazing work.

Great uptate! Very powerfull tools! Thank you for your work!

Damn there are some major improvements since I last checked this program out. That said devs went full Tim Cook with the pricing...

fantastic update! Thank you!

I still remember the first days of plasticity , nice !

amazing...simply amazing software...thank you!

This looks crazy good! Now im thinking to upgrade my version

"Just getting started"? Wow, if this is just getting started, it will be an even more amazing product soon!

Wohoo!!! Nick, you rock!!! 🥰😍🤩

CV editing is so tasty!

Sweet, need to get on the next upgrade!

I'm really worried Plasticity is going to out price its user base. The license increases were understandable but now with XNurbs being studio only (and only partial function on indie, someday, maybe?), I feel like the actual indie market (that would go for studio) will just not bother. This isn't a hate thread by the way, I think Plasticity is great, I just feel the price increases going forward is going to be hard for solos.

To my understanding XNurbs is a fairly expensive licensed technology, why it is only available in the Studio version. There’s a clear reason why f.ex. Rhino has XNurbs available only as a paid plugin - XNurbs is for most users a non-essential, but expensive, feature. If that applies to Rhino’s customer base it applies 100x for Plasticity, so I fully understand why it’s not available in the Indie-version, but I’m also quite surprised it was decided to include in the Studio version. Not that I’m against having the tech available, but it may become a burden on the pricing and set a course for even more disparity between the versions.

nice work Nick !

Looks awesome. Gonna scrape together the loot for the studio version this time, methinks.

You came a long way since i first tried the beta ... lets see how plasticity can complement Alias, which is my main tool ... awesome !

My God! YEAAAH!!! I enjoyed using Plasticity 0.1 but i really missed to have a T-Splines like functionality like in Fusion 360. Here it is.... Now there is no reason to use other CAD for me for hard surface modelling... Definetely sold on version 2... Happy to have supported the development by purchasing 0.1 as well. Thanks! Amazing!

It's not quite as flexible as t-splines but it's quite powerful in its own way

Thank you!

It would be nice to have Fillet as a non-destructive modifier to preserve the editing possibilities. If performance is an issue, the modifier doesn't need to be interactive with a changes, just the toggle option would be enough.

Plasticity is like at the oposite side of Alias and Fusion in terms of being fun to use! Why cant these expensive programs be this user friendly, i understand that they do a lot more but man its a shame. Props to the developers, using it is such a joy, almost effortless but still gives great results.

As a former Fusion user, I get it. You're kind of stuck on rails intentionally. But I'm not a drafter, I'm an artist. I just used Fusion because that was the easiest hard surface modeler to figure out. When Plasticity came along, I ditched Fusion within a few days. No fault of Fusion, the folks at Autodesk have an amazing piece of CAD software in their kit, but the speed at which I can work in Plasticity is unrivaled, and I'm slow. lol

Very impressive!

So cool update !!!

thank you for the release!! we need to renew the license to get the update ?

fantastic! I really like all the new features! keep going 🫶

The discord notifications make me laugh. Beautiful program! I can't wait to try this out myself!

incredible!!

HOLY F@#$! Glad you chose Parasolid. I have used NX before and currently use Siemens Solid Edge. I love the direct editiing capability in SE and it seems you've implemented the Parasolid capabilities similarly. Now with this surfacing CV manipulation, Plasticity is positively blowing doors. (not to mention Xnurbs!) I have to wonder though, how long until other CAD companies come knocking to snap up what you're doing, it is likely too disruptive for them. I hope Plasticity has a long life as an independent company!

@TAH1712

Ай бұрын

To them though, it's not that disruptive. NX and SE are corporate manufacturing , product life cycle data packages - Plasticity is only a very good shape modeller. Can you see the difference? Remember that NX video was 15 years ago. I think NX has added other modelling tools since then. I'm sure Rhino and MOI are more interested in what Plasticity is doing though.

Thank you!!!

I am a plasticity supported in June 23, and I personally think that the current buyout system has a big problem, it is better to change to monthly payment and annual payment, and now the 2.0 version has been updated, resulting in many 1.4 users who bought the studio version before can't use it.

If plasticity is going to be this destructive with its edits it needs non-volatile undo history stored in the .plasticity file. Having undo history just stored in ram is pretty brutal.

@@jrhager84 The devs have talked about adding it. In the mean time, I came up with the very jank and MSpaint style solution of copying all my geometry into folders before I make major irreversible changes. the Linux compatibility and curvy-nurby-spliney features easily make this my favourite CAD package, but this is a MAJOR quality of life issue. Shipping the next major version without robust umdo history features is an absolute embarrassment.

Thank you for this great software and the videos for deeper understanding. Can you explain the small Keypresswindow left down corner? Is it a buildin feature?

I think Siemens would pay for Nick's skills. In just a few months he created a super powerful 3d modeler. Now it's time to add a beautiful UI.

Seeing this video and the new features made my decision to upgrade easy. (to do it, btw)

Fantastic update! From the first segment of the video though it’s unclear how custom matcaps are imported. Could someone explain how it’s done? We could kinda hack this feature in 1.x, but I’m assuming there’s a proper way now.

Almost SubD))) Lovely jubbly. How to update software?

Great update! I'm in)

YESSSSSSSS

Hey there, just wanted to say the workflow in Plasticy is absolutely brilliant! I'm loving using it for my CAD projects. I had a few ideas that I thought could potentially make it even better: It would be super helpful to be able to adjust the transparency/opacity of imported images. This would make it much easier to trace things when needed. The imprint function is genius, I use it constantly now. I was wondering, is there any way to reverse this? Like taking a curved surface and unrolling it to a flat pattern? That would be game-changing for creating flat patterns for parts that need to be bent into shape later. Have you considered adding a gallery where users can share models they've made in Plasticy? I think building a community around it would be a great way to get more people using it and seeing how powerful it is. Keep up the amazing work, you're going to give Autodesk a real run for their money! Just some thoughts, but seriously, thank you for creating such an awesome CAD program. It's an absolute joy to use. Looking forward to seeing where you take it from here!

mental (p.s. xnurbs are fire)

Magic!

Amazing.

That remove fillet from shell.....mind blown! That is huge! So glad to have discovered that feature! Can't tell you the number of times I put myself in such a bind because I got too eager to start filleting my models too early in the development and then not being able to make necessary changes because edges have been fillet, and I just have to go with it. Thank you for showing this!

CV editing very powerful for designers experimenting shape and forms. NK is forcing me to buy Plasticity - that's outrageous!

You're a god!

Tried getting into plasticity for the 2nd time in a year or so and again, I found it so frustrating. There feels like a serious lack of fundamental features that CAD software demands you have but this doesn't. Having CAD in the name atm sounds disingenuous. I've heard the same from CAD people trying it out, but I hear the opposite from people who have come from blender. It definitely seems to be more for that crowd even though I WANT a cad software that's shaped to be a bit more artistic but it seems it's much more artistic than CAD atm. Ill keep trying and i'll be posting videos of my experience in real time with the software but man, I usually pick up cad software easily because it's fairly intuitive, this I found myself spending 15 minutes on one simple task if I even got to do what I was looking to do at all. :s
