Just wanted to say that i found out about shapr3d here on HN through a comment a while back. And– though it does sound dramtic– it changed my life. It got me into CAD modelling without any experience. Which i wouldn't have tried on a computer, but on my ipad, it was so easy and intuitive to get started.
Since then i've designed so many things. From weird furniture ideas to replacement parts for my vacuum up to the mot important 3d models of a device-prototype. It's super fun, intuitive and i think in general the most expensive software subscription i pay for, also hands-down the software that impacted my life the most (as a consumer/user).
- WillAdams 2y agoHave you tried any other CAD programs? If you have access to a computer, could you try Dune 3D and write up a quick comparison? It seems the easiest-to-use of the opensource options.
- adastra22 2y agoHave you tried Shapr3d? The tablet UX is entirely different from any other CAD program. You are asking to compare apples to oranges.
- WillAdams 2y agoYes, I did try it --- got part of the way through the tutorials and decided that the UI wasn't appealing enough to overcome the price/license.
- endofreach 2y agoInteresting, didn't know about dune3d. I can't try today though. What are you expecting from my comparison? If i don't forget, i can come back here in a few days if had time to try dune and tell you about my experience.
- WillAdams 2y agoI am just curious how Dune 3D "feels" to a person accustomed to Shapr3D --- the former is notable among opensource applications for having a touch/trackpad-friendly UI, which is a defining characteristic of the latter.
