BonZai 3D is a new 3D modeler developed to fill in the demand for a quick, easy, simple but, most importantly, geometrically robust approach to 3D. A response to those who wish to express their thoughts graphically in 3D, on the fly, without too much hassle, and then be able to advance to the next level of detailed solid modeling, 3D printing and production. In many ways, BonZai is an offspring of form•Z. At the same time, it is a different application and represents a fresh approach to 3D modeling. The BonZai tools have resulted from experiences, experiments, research, and user input of the past 15 years. Its goal is to support the conceptual and sketching stages of design with utmost ease, but also the production of accurate and robust models that can be used for construction drawings, can be smoothly rendered, animated, and fabricated (i.e. printed in 3D). BonZai 3D includes all of this and more at an affordable price.
Each group or individual student will research one specific design tool and present it to the group. You will explain the main characteristics and advantages of the program. Your final assignment will be to build an existing architectural design with an evaluation copy of this program.
