A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A new computational ...

In the 1956 competition to design the city of Brasilia, Lucio Costa's proposal differed significantly from his competitors'. In contrast with the detailed plans and well-designed perspectives of the ...

According to the folks at Gravity Sketch, the future of design is virtual reality — and they’ve got new software to convince you of exactly that. “We looked at a lot of the existing tools for 3D ...

A machine learning tool developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute (RI) could potentially allow beginner and professional designers to create 3D virtual models of ...

I used to love drawing cars (who am I kidding? I still do), but—and this hurts to admit—I’ve never been great at drawing the wheels. Circles are hard, man! And nothing ruins a cool neo-Pierce Arrow ...

3D printing has developed in leaps and bounds. Promoted by the dream of sketching on air and creating realistic, replica objects, 3D printing has found niche application across research labs, ...

@Last Software on Wednesday announced that it’s shipping SketchUp 4.0, a new version of the company’s 3D design software for Mac OS X and Windows. The software was released as a soft launch some weeks ...

Platforms like Figma have changed the game when it comes to how creatives and other stakeholders in the production and product team conceive and iterate around two-dimensional designs. Now, a company ...

Every fancied having a go on a giant Etch-a-Sketch? Then check out Sketch 3D, which was created by O2 Creative Solutions. It was made using a Pico-Itx single board computer and is based around an ...

Designers use many techniques to create products and solve problems. Sketches are used at the early stages with annotation to illustrate the designer’s thoughts. Development of the final design will ...
