ViaCAD Pro with a beta of PowerPackPro Build 1153

ViaCAD pro V9の最新ベータについてOlsonさんがフォーラムで投稿していた。
内容的には64bit版の
ViaCAD Pro with a beta of PowerPackPro Build 1153ということだそうだ。

PowerPackのQuadポリゴン化機能がもっと高機能だといいんだけど
今のレベルでは、ZBrushか３D-COATでリトポしないと３角と４角混在で
使いにくいんだよね。

ソリッドモデラーなCADと3DCGアプリ連携が４角ポリゴンでできれば最高なんだけど
そんな便利なツールってないよなぁ。

ちなみに、1153での変更内容は訳す気がなくなるぐらい多い。
