This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 91.176.210.145 (talk) at 12:13, 4 September 2009 (→Imports/exports). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Revised the version numbers of some of the software as stated on their webpages, as of this writing.

misc shortcomings

I just removed some erroneous data regarding Linux systems, especially since it is trivial to extract a package built for one distro and run it on another - although satisfying dependencies may take a little work.
Should the Operating System section (or a new section) also mention on what CPU architectures it runs?
Is someone planning on filling in the "features" section? Some random thoughts on that:
Command-line?
Polygon/Basic Curves/NURBS
Something really exhausting: import/export formats?

I'm not really sure what the idea was behind adding that section. Someone put it in and never developed it. The problem with something like that is where do you draw the line on features? The first challenge would be deciding if after market plug-ins count as features?BcRIPster (talk) 01:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Comparison of vector graphics editors article has a similar structure to what I'd like to see here. 74.85.42.110 (talk) 02:12, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]


pointless article, should be deleted

Wikipedia is not a shopping guide, it's an encyclopedia, and the information here cannot ever be complete and up-to-date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.37.141.122 (talk) 21:39, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sketchup

Sketchup Basic isnt mentioned (freeware) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.198.201 (talk) 07:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Imports/exports

The comparison should mention which imports and exports can be done with the programs. This allows the reader to see which program combinations are possible. Eg sketchup http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=36217 can import 3ds; allowing blender, ... to be combined with it. This program combination is eg handy for when GPS data is to be imbedded to a model —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.176.210.145 (talk) 10:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added some info, but it appears it will get crowdy fast, perhaps imports and exports column are best divided into subheaders where file formats are placed. A simple yes/no can then be placed per program for each format
