the blender bridge is so, so cool - these programs complement each other so well, I'm thrilled to have both going forward
They compliment and almost compete each other 😅
Like a husband and wife.
Yep, I was already thinking i'd try the free trial, as soon as the blender bridge happened I knew I was going to buy it as soon as I scrape some dollars together. This looks ridiculously cool and useful. Now it just needs built in cam and I would have no reason to keep fusion.
@@rustedfriend What is blender bridge I'm confused?
But what's the point of the blender bridge?
I love seeing more competition in the CAD space. Especially at this price point!
Thank you for native Linux support.
I haven’t done CAD in 20 years. And I’m buying a license to support the project.
The blender steamer is a killer feature.
Truly incredible seeing an individual (or very small team) build a product as intuitive as this. Tried some modeling for in Blender and there's just a ton of mechanics and principles you need to understand to get anywhere. So "modeling for the artist / creative" is really a welcomed phrase and approach.
@@DaveyBackSilvers 3D is more than modeling and no negativity towards Blender at all - "anywhere" is a strong word and unfair. That said, machine tools and some other add-ons smooth out some of those mechanics I mentioned but their existence (abstracting concepts prob for artists) points to what it seems this tool is seeming to solve natively.
@@DaveyBackSilvers the problem is, blender isnt immediately very good at keeping everything symmetrical, precise, and technical. its a little too freeform by design. i had a much better time with rocket 2F and sketchup, but the models they exported had compatibility issues. this app really does solve alot of problems.
try modo 3d is better than blender when it comes to modeling, more intuitive and easy to learn.
Imo it's still lacking.
Im still wanting a Sketchup like App that's a Opensource and NOT a GPL licensed slock.
@@oscarbaracaldo3556 Too expensive honestly.
Plasticity has totally changed how I tackle modelling. No longer am I bogged down with the mental model of sub-d cages and vert distribution. There are different concerns, but getting the shapes defined, merged and beautifully filleted is easy and fast, but most importantly keeps the flow going.
Very liberating software! Cheers, and Congrats!
This is what designers, 3D print enthusiasts, CAD community was waiting for! THIS SOFTWARE IS ON FIRE!
just in time to get wrecked by AI
@@deathorbAI isn’t that great yet. People are over hyping its influence. I’m a lead developer and all the code AI assists are average at best for writing usable code, it makes mistakes and it takes the understanding and knowledge to catch it. AI can only provide assistance, it can’t build complex applications or even launch them to a server to proper hosting, security, necessary language extensions.. etc
@@deathorb with art that cant be copyrighted? I don't think so, and besides people want things made by hand.
@@thisbridgehascables After watching more vids your product does actually interest me. And yes I am aware AI has a while b4 it branches up to software suit level. Your blender like layout is good too
@@deathorb I'm not quite sure if the AI is able to wreck people imagination, it's using human creations as input, so we humans also were getting inspired by another, it just another tool to help creators. I bet it is a great opportunity, but it won't replace human for good, any soon, You still had to have some individuality to do new stuff. AI is just based on already existing and tought stuff.
Gonna pick this up some day here soon, CAD designed for artists is huge - It's impressive how well this came along, you're clearly very determined. A lot of indie/small team software ends up in development hell and never leaves beta but you did it! Congrats on 1.0!
Wow, that's a steal of a price, and no subscriptions. Lovely. As a novice MOI user, I'm definitely going to give this a spin!
congrats Nick! Plasticity is going to be huge, and all your hard work will be validated!
Im mixed on it.
From what I used in the beta, it's not that much.
Tbh wish it was a mix of MoI and Sketchup personally.
@@darkzeroprojects4245 What do you think it's lacking? It seems to have almost everything Fusion360 has.
Wow, that was fast! This looks like potentially one of the strongest tools on the market. N-gons, Blender connection, "Direct Modelling"...
I wish I had this tool when I did Product Design. I've signed up for the Trial and I'm already blown away by how intuitive it is. Bravo!
All the best pushing forwards!
I've just started tinkering with Plasticity, and I can already tell it will likely become part of my workflow - incredible job you've done with this! I've wanted to add parametric modeling to my toolbox for years, but most other options out there I find unintuitive (for an artist) and/or wildly out of my price range. Thank you for pricing this within reason for working artists, and not based on what a gigantic corporate engineering department would pay.
Congratulations on the launch! Love where you're headed with this and wish you much success!
This demo is absolutely incredible. As an artist, I am excited by the idea of a product designed from the ground up for this kind of workflow. As a programmer and an engineer, I cannot even begin to imagine how much work this took to make a reality. This is truly an accomplishment, and the price you're asking is more than reasonable. (Though, I do wish I hadn't just spent the same amount of money on Blender add-ons to accomplish a jankier version of this a few weeks ago). I can't wait to see where this software is in a few years. Keep up the great work!
Honestly man, HOW is an indie effort like this wayyy better than what the big corporations are spitting out?? I haven't had this much fun cad modelling in years.
Nick, awesome! Congrats on a really solid first release. Been using my copy all day, really enjoyable to work with; I can’t wait to see where you take this.
I love seeing new apps by unknown devs, this is what it's all about- and I really love artist-leaning badboys like this. I'll hopefully open up some time this month to play with it. Looking great so far- congrats big!!
Real time changes in Blender feature is just absolutely amazing. Blender can be very time consuming and sometimes even bit bad when you want to make accurate objects but it has everything needed for making whatever you want pretty much. Plasticity pretty much makes the accurate modelling process easy for everyone and how they can immediately see the changes in Blender is awesome feature. If I ever get out of this hell that's called being poor, I will buy Plasticity. Thank you for not making it subscription based. Living is so horribly expensive if you wanna own anything nowadays because everything is 10$+++/month.
I absolutely LOVE BLENDER, and ANYTHING that works well with it, is a godsend for the Blender community!
Been a Blenderhead for 23 years and work in NX. Plasticity is going to be awesome. Happy customer of the studio version!
the blender integration you showed is seriously incredible. i am so excited to see where this project goes
I've been watching your product for a long time. You have good ideas that other programs don't have. I wish you success
This is nuts!
I'm not a big hard-surface guy, but this tool has finally made this kind of modeling fun and not overwhelming. Really freeing
Amazing! The Blender bridge looks awesome.
This is fantastic. As someone who's got a shaky grasp of Fusion 360 & and Blender I found this highly accessible. I was able to figure out so much in an hour or two without watching any tutorials. Barely scratched the surface.
The lack of clutter is remarkable, everything easy to locate. Intuitive is the overarching word. I will definitely be supporting this and looking forward to future developments.
Congrats! really happy to see that the stable version is final out and glad you manage to create the camera cuts which is something I've been looking for and all the other amazing features. it is finally time to jump on Plasticity, and I am looking forward to see where you will take it next
It feels good to see an indie artist doing this... I heard about Plasticity through a Modo Slack Group and I was blown away by how powerful it looks.
And since I do a lot of 3D printing and engineering projects, I'm definitely getting my hands on a Studio license.
As a designer myself, DON'T EVER GIVE UP your vision!!! Keep this up. I want you to succeed with this and we will do everything in our power to keep this up.
I hope there will be a surface tracing tool for doing things like drawing the shape of helmets
Absolutely amazing work, congratulations! I just started out learning how to 3D model, but was let down by all the shading issues in Blender and the slow workflow in other CAD programs. I've given up several times, but Plasticity removes so much of the frustration and really motivates me to keep going. Thank you!
Can you explain more about all the shading issues in Blender?
Super hype and happy with you and the teams hard work! Excited for everyone else to get a chance to play around with Plasticity!🎉
Thank you so much for supporting Linux! Will get the indie version next quarter ;)
Absolute fire! I despised CADs for artistic work, even having experience in multiple ones, because of "oh no mate you overextruded this small area, now I'm going to collapse your whole model". Fusion 360 is especially guilty of this. But Plasticity? It will finish the operation I'm asking no matter what. You've fixed the whole "artistic CAD" problem while also speeding up the workflow for artistic applications. Can't wait to play with it after seeing what can be done.
Well cad is cad I don’t want to overpromise ! But I’m trying to make it as easy as possible
I was a Fusion360 user and share your pain, very nice workflow too. And no more huge subscription price.
I just a sideline observer, not a 3D designer (used to be, 25 years ago), but I love what you’re doing, and especially with the purchase-over-subscription model. One commenter said they’d also buy updates, and I think that’s a viable model financially, for both developers’ income, and users’ expenses.
Your software looks amazing. :)
Have loved being part of this journey and so excited that this is out now!
Also very looking forward to the Blender Bridge ;)
I'm really excited by where Plasticity is heading - I picked it up as soon as I saw it was available! A couple of things I'm really finding missing are a concept of a timeline or history for features (ala F360) and linking between curves and the solids created from them (so the solid is updated when the curve is changed) - are there plans for implementing these in the future? Between the two, I'm finding that Plasticity is requiring me to do a lot more up-front planning so I don't back myself into a corner. In CAD I can just go back and make changes earlier in the timeline, but in Plasticity I'm often stuck with my choices it seems.
yes please add non -destructive modelling! a feature timeline or something...
I agree. The lack of a timeline is the only thing preventing me from buying this immediately. The modeling tools look super intuitive and the software seems promising, but I don't think I can use a tool without being able to go back and edit old geometry. Looking forward to seeing how the tool evolves!
This would be fantastic. Agree on this being the one major thing seemingly missing!
This is one of those amazing projects that has the potential to shake up the entire industry. Well done and Godspeed! Perhaps you could consider offering a subscription plan with most of the features, but also provide accessibility to those with low incomes, so that they can still contribute
Save your money and buy something or pay for it forever. Tell me what's cheaper?
I have found my way to Plasticity after spending many years in Blender. I am in love with the workflow and ease of use. My first few times getting stuck in Plasticity where actually kind of delightful because I would think to myself, if I were in Blender I would just do "Scale, on X, with a value of 0" and it would fix the issue, and it just works as expected. I am still kinda blown away that I can find my way around without in-depth toturials and without reading the manual.
I've been watching the many updates. What a wild ride. This is an elegant tool that has one of the best flows I've ever seen in 3D. And what a reasonable, approachable price point. Congrats on release!
Amazing! Already bought the indie version. That Blender bridge looks like a game changer.
I want that Blender Bridge too! So amazing that you developing that as well! 🙏
@Joshua Merrill thatts what sold me as well! It will be amazing to finally have a workflow to model something usefull for 3Dprinting, add texture to it in blender and print it off. 
As a software engineer, really love what you do, bought the indie license even though my 3D modelling is limited to a couple of FreeCAD hobby projects and I don't have a good use for Plasticity in mind. Would appreciate some tutorials, I could even bevel multiple edges to the same value 😅
This is probably what I would need to fully invest. Tutorials based on the needs you said the software fills. I use Fusion exclusively because I have not taken the time to learn blender. There are so many tutorials for both apps that I should know Blender by now. Its just very different from Fusion.
Congratulations. I've been waiting for this for a while. Glad to finally se this out of the gate.
This program is amazing!! I only used it for 30 mins and I love it!! I have been wanting something like this for so long... And here it is! Please keep up the good work. I can't wait to see what else they come up with.
plasticity is the best , this is amazing , but you have mentioned Siemens NX and blender , inside Siemens NX there is an environment which called realize shape which is polygon modeling in the other words ( which actually every subdivided polygon became a patch surface ) , if you just be able to take the polygon model from blender and turn it into nurbs ( like nx realize shape or rhino subD or catia ) it'll be revolutionary , and also keep it up we love and support you ( before you'd be reach 😅)
I love what you've done with this software. The interface, focus on keybinds, kernel, and general speed of getting ideas down is awesome. I've used CAD packages like NX, SW, and Fusion for over 15 years and I can see where this fits in the market. But coming from a traditional CAD package - Not being parametric seems like a rough one for me. No timeline, constraints, editable dimensions/features etc, means that products that you intend to manufacture and possibly create revisions of in the future will be difficult without re-modeling certain features of the design.. Do you plan to introduce any of these features in the future? or is the intent to keep it primarily direct modeliing?
I think the main audience for this will be hard modeling for blender/animation/home 3d printing purpose and a massive upgrade for those coming from sketchup.
PS: If I'm mistaken on anything, let me know! This is just my initial reaction based on what i've seen so far.
It's not parametric?! Thanks, I was about to start my trial... I might skip on this one.
@Bernard Lemay I downloaded the trial and no, it's not parametric. It's direct modeling only. This doesn't take away from how good the software is, it's pretty impressive, actually, but maybe not a good fit for manufacturing users.
But maybe it's better for it to be focused for the artistic side rather than trying to include engineering/ manufacturing side so it maintains the highest level of quality and ease of use for the audience it is made for, right?
@Velstorios yep! For the target audience, it's fantastic. I was just hoping it would be a good alternative in the parametric/manufacturing CAD scene.
@@austinshaner Whether it's this one or another program, I hope you get great alternatives sometime soon.
I intend to start using CAD for hard surface modeling to cut down the topology struggle, hoping this one will be an amazing software on the long run.
These developers should be celebrated. They gave the world a powerful zen-tool for art, useful to professionals and amateurs alike.
People are wonderful and they truly shine when they interact and collaborate in creation. Cheers, you are awesome!
Congrats on the release! Thank you for all your hard work.
Have been keeping my eye on this for a while, and finally decided to invest a bit into it. Unfortunately a lot of the videos on YT are based on old builds with UI changes. The UI looks very discoverable (I really appreciate the KB shortcuts being listed basically everywhere), but it would still be useful to have some documentation available somewhere. Did I miss a link in the interface? I know it's early days, just felt like mentioning it.
Hooray! Blender is even better with plasticity. Just kidding. I was waiting for the release and I'm really happy that you are willing to communicate with artists.
No really tho! Blender is bette with Plasticity! 😂
As a long time MOI3D, Rhino and Blender user with Plasticity a dream is come true. It is intuitive, easy to use and capable of handling even larger Models. My respect for what you have done! Having Parasolids at hand even with the studio pricing is a game changer for me. Beside that Plasticity beats MOI even in its meshing functionality. Again man, excellent work. I will definitely support your astoinishing work!
Hi Nick...I've been following the "Plasticity" project from the beginning and I'm fascinated by the power. I haven't worked with it for a long time, but now I bought the indie version without looking at it. I'm going to do my best and wish you the best of luck.
This looks awesome! I'm really excited to give it a try.
Autodesk/Dassault currently has a bit of a death grip on higher education software system use. I'd recommend trying to make a big push to get your software into student hands in whatever way possible - their adoption could greatly help your long term goals for the software.
I've gotta say, As a professional propmaker who's worked on projects like the recent starwars shows and all sorts of movies from marvel to D&D, I'm seriously impressed with this software, the tools and functions are incredibly intuitive, I only had the software for about an hour and had learned most of the functions I need and a few hours later I had already designed a detailed scifi rifle that's ready for 3D printing, I'm going to be switching to this as my default program instead of blender. serious props on creating this powerful tool.
100% love this. Where has this been!? This needs to be in every 3d print forum!
*3D forum
Congrats Nick, true game changer in handling modeling. This for sure will reduce so much time trying to fix meshes due to close point issues in Blender. Blender still has a place and these together make for great modeling experiences. I am here for the ride!
WIll plasticity also be able to support parametric design and timelines? I find that for me that is an absolutely essential feature in cad for me.
I love the way you've gone about making this software. Everything is streamlined and feels like it plugs directly into the hardsurface part of my brain. And I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that instance feature. It looks awesome 👍
Thank you for your hard work on this! Fascinating to see where your focus was on this 1.0, and looking forward to seeing where you go next.
Congratulations and all the best Nick!
Fantastic work and congrats on the launch! I've been following your journey for a while and it just looks amazing. I can't wait to try it and integrate it into my workflow.
Huge congratulations Nick for an awesome job creating and taking such an amazing tool from scratch to v1.0! Plasticity is a remarkably powerful software and indeed a game-changer, and I'd say a must-have for 3D artists, not to mention product designers.
My best wishes to you and Plasticity. Hooray!!! 🥰🥳
Bought the Studio Version yesterday. Stunning software and I can't wait to see what Nick and his team continue to do with this amazing tool!
Super exciting, I hope enough people support you so we can see 2.0!
So glad to see this gap in the space plugged. Love your ethics, the barrier to CAD and high level renderers is usually restricted to company budgets. So nice to have something NOT on a monthly sub. Please add a support/donate button so we can support you from time to time and allow people who maybe don't have that much to give to show you some support. Deep links into Blender is a very smart move and side steps the typical expensive CAD alternatives (I currently use SpaceClaim and Keyshot, which is very limited compared to Blender BUT very good at getting above average results quickly for numpties like me lol)
Congratz! ITs been really fun following the development of this.
Been waiting for something like this to crop up for years, incredible stuff!🔥
Congrats Nick! I bought a copy right away! Keep up the great work!
Brilliant use of the “Oh, and there’s this” great product and presentation
Everything about this is so exciting. It's been great to be part of the beta experience (under a different username), and I look forward to everything else to come. Also, the Plasticity to Blender live bridge feature.... phwoar! XD Wishing you all the success on the road ahead!
Congratulations on the release!
This is frigging awesome looking. I have recently was interested in this kind of stuff and UA-cam decided to feed me this video.
Yeaaahhh!!!
Happy to be onboard as a user!!!
Plasticity is the software I've wanted for so long!
Thank you Nick for making that possible.
Not being a subscription service really makes me purchased the plan. Keep it up!
This looks incredible, I'm downloading it now to give it a spin. If it has a few of the features I specifically need, I'm sold. Thanks for all of the hard work and the reasonable pricing model for creators, I'll be supporting the project for that simple fact alone
Great work from you finally released at last, please keep improving and adding more tools and improvements!
Great pricing! Will buy the studio version right away. Thanks a lot for your hard work!
as soon as my next modeling booking comes in, I will get this magnificent piece of software. thank you so much, nick!
Congrats!! Your future will be bright! Btw the Blender bridge is looking awesome!!
Hands down the best modeling tool and ultimate tool it will become! going to purchase Studio to support you guys. keep it up!
This has gotten to be so awesome since I saw it last- amazing work Nick, you should be super proud! Love the pricing model and trust in your community as well. 3 cheers!
Lets goooo!! Congrats and cannot wait to see what’s in store for the future :D
Great idea to combine plastic and CAD, that's exactly what was missing !)
I bought it last week, SUPER hyped for the Blender bridge!!! Keep it up, you're doing great!
3D Printing just got WAY easier. I needed this so badly and to see the upcoming Blender integration is HUGE. The simplicity here is on par with Apple products. Bravo and I will definitely be testing this software out and look forward to it's continued development.
Really excited, please don't you stop working on it....
I found out about this program at the perfect time. Thank you for such an amazing program that's very easy to learn. And no subscription! I will gladly purchase
Well done, and good luck with the launch!
Thank you so much for all your hard work in bringing this to life for giving us people opinions and opportunities at an affordable cost. Amazing work, congrats 🎉 👏
hell yeah buddy! Long time Alias user. I always love to see new programs get up and running. good luck!
This might just get me into CAD at long last. Great work!
Happy to buy the Studio version - great work - looking forward to working with it.
Just downloaded the free trial of Plasticity and it is for sure amazing. Definitely will be buying and supporting.
Congratulations on the release! You can be very proud of your product and i wish you all the best for the future of the company! Keep it up and stay true to your core priciples, this will lead you to your own happy place :)
I'm gonna support you in this endeavor and purchase the Studio version. Thank you for your hard work and efforts. I wish you all the best in making this software everything you want and more.
That's cooooool!Plasticity has improved my productivity dramatically and I look forward to future developments!
damn, I wasn't ready for that audio ramp...... Software looks great, I can't wait to try it out.
Crazy Stuff! Definitly gonna check this out. Also cant wait for the blender bridge
I myself have been a 3D enthusiast over 30 years but still find troubles learning too many functions and technologies while I am getting older and older. UA-cam algorithm brought me to this video and thanks google!
Wow! Congratulations. I Love it and thank you for making this.
Amazing Work, So excited about it!
Going to buy the studio version.
congrats Nick, wow I can't believe it's been in development for 2.5 years.
great job and totally worth it. wonderful creation. when your rollin in it stay grounded...
Everyone involved in the development of this program are simply the BEST people. I used hardops/boxcutter, and on the simple model I had very bad hangs and frequent crashes. And now there is a program that is simple, convenient for my computer, beautiful, and most importantly aimed at working with blender
Best of luck to you and your beautiful and majestic program
