Review: bonzai3d
Digital Arts has published my review of bonzai 3d, originally published in Macworld, on its site.
The Map Texture tool allows a new mapping type to be assigned to a whole object, or individual faces
My verdict was 4 stars out of five for the $499 tool, saying that bonzai3d presents a serious challenge to Google Sketchup Pro. Slightly cheaper, it also scores points by offering NURBS modelling and its own sizeable library of content and textures, in addition to supporting Google 3D content. However bonzai3d 1.0 only runs on Leopard on an Intel Mac, unlike Sketchup Pro, which also supports Tiger.
