Vespa Improved

Autodesk was showing Vespa at AU, and this week they gave another preview to members of the CAD media. What was rather amaturish looking last November is much more refined. The translucent shading is looking quite nice.

Vespa is the code name for Autodesk's anti-CAD software. Whereas the point to CAD is to create absolutely precise drawings (accurate to 14 decimal places), the point to Vespa is to make them look hand-drawn. This is not a unique product; the first was Squiggle (from the mid 1980s), and more recently there are products that do a very nice job of making drawings look "natural." If I have a problem with Vespa it's that there are tons of parameters to tweak, so it'll be good for Autodesk to include lots of predefined styles.

(See RobiNZ CAD Blog for some screen grabs.)

The initial release of Vespa (official name still to come) supports just 2D drawings, and architectural ones at that. Future releases will handle 3D, as well as other disciplines, like mechanical.

Product will ship in July for US$499 and might be sold through retail stores.
