What's new in formZ 10?

FormZ 10 introduces :

  • Support for operation on Apple Silicon and replaces OPEN GL with Metal graphics Mac OS 15+
  • Improved application interface with more workspace, easy to manage palettes.
  • Reference Files.
  • Symmetric modeling.
  • Direct support for Twinmotion
  • Python 1.3 scripting.
  • Classic draft/layout space features.
    • v6 draft files open directly.
  • Inspector palette.
  • Rectangular and Radial array tools.
  • Scale to Size tool.
  • Updated file translators including direct PSD and SketchUp export.
  • New instance engine makes components significantly faster!
  • Support for model file sizes > 2Gb!
  • Better startup performance and now software licensed.
  • Better texture cache (uses less space, faster).
  • Faster auto save
  • The subdivision modeling has a new personality to formZ's diverse modeling capabilities. Subdivision modeling is a method for creating unique organic forms. These organic models start from a simple base cage that can be dynamically manipulated and reformed with a new suite of tools that provide operations like grow, stretch, bridge, squeeze and offset. Subdivision models are parametric, allowing for continued manipulation as well as dynamic control of the surface resolution.

The subdivision tools are also useful for quickly smoothing or softening a faceted model. Subdivision objects can be converted to NURBS for additional manipulation and evaluation using formZ?s extensive NURBS tools. Subdivision objects work great with 3D printing, as they produce regular meshes that tend to give excellent results with popular 3D printers. Useful for tensile structures and organic surfaces ranging from exotic roofs to character meshes, these new tools make formZ more versatile than ever before!

The new Round to Holdline tool generates a round between two (or more) faces of an object. The object can be a surface or a solid object. The round is defined with a holdline curve that lies on the surface. The variable radius of the round along the edge will be determined by the holdline. See example below.

The formZ interactive display modes have been completely rewritten to take advantage of modern OpenGL capabilities. This is most noticeable in Shaded Full display mode with new real-time ambient occlusion, bump mapping, soft shadows and multi-sampling features. These improvements aid in real-time visualization and design evaluation, as they yield better depth perception and spatial definition. The image to the right illustrates the effect of these new features.

Sketchfab.com is a website that allows you to share your 3D models so others can view and navigate around the model in real time. You can publish your models through Sketchfab.com, or you can embed them into your own web pages. There is a new Sketchfab upload option in the Extensions menu that allows for uploads to Sketchfab directly from formZ.

There are numerous improvements throughout formZ 10:

  • The sweep tools have a new option to use NURBS control points instead of a strict path. This enables smooth sweeps with lower numbers of control points.
  • The Cross Skin tool now handles smooth sources.
  • The Tight Lofting option of the NURBS lofting tool now supports the Closed in Depth (V) option.
  • Layout improvements include a new option to keep the contents of a frame centered in the frame and better linkage to the model file associated with a frame.
  • The Offset Outline tool can be applied to multiple outlines in a single operation.This makes it possible to offset multiple outlines on different objects at the same distance simultaneously. A new option has been added to apply the offset at preset numeric distance in addition to the existing dynamic method.
  • The Shift key now disables guide snaps in the Cone of Vision, making it possible to make subtle changes to view parameters.
  • Components can now be viewed by name using the new List view in the Component Manager. The new Component Information button displays information about a component, including how many times the component is placed in the project.
  • Materials can now be organized into groups, making it easier to organize projects with many materials.
  • The Materials palette has been updated to be consistent with all formZ palettes, including control items at the top of the palette and a context menu for quick access to features.
  • The formZ 10 .fmz file format has been optimized to make files more compact. A new File Optimization option has been added to the Project Settings, allowing for even smaller project files. Files saved with the Auto Save feature use the smallest size to improve performance.
  • Workspace settings can now be saved and reloaded in the Tool Manager, making it possible to share custom layouts between machines and colleagues. The size of tool icons can be set without entering the tool manager by right-clicking an icon and selecting Settings from the context menu.
  • The accelerator keys (accessed by pressing the space bar and typing) now work more logically by typing the name of the desired tool (or at least enough unique characters). The option to use the previous method remains in the Tool Manager.
  • The DXF/DWG translators now support the AutoCad 2014 format. Export of DWF and SVG have been added.
  • ACIS support has been upgraded to r24.
  • RenderZone uses Lightworks 9.1, with development discontinued and replaced with V-Ray
  • The Windows versions use a new installer, making installation easier and better integrating with the Windows operating system.
  • Many additional performance and stability improvements are included.
