Looks pretty awesome, but how is it "afforable"? I looked it up and it is about $500. :S A bit steep, I think.

@Duskypuss

Bonzai3d is a commercial 3d modeling program, and compared to the other programs that are available, bonzai3d is both cheaper and easier to use. :)

If you are a student or a teacher, there are academic licenses available for much less. Just click the Academic link at the top of our web site for more info!

Oh and me again...a fantastic shout out to Method Cast...he is the man...get him to make all of your tutorials...everything he does is first rate...and he generously gives it all away...and he knows his stuff so well and explains all so well...and he really seems to like Bonzai3D....Big influence on me to re-evaluate Bonzai3d.

I think it will be a good companion to Modo by Luxology. The best sub-d and unbelievable render built in. Blows Maxwell out of the water...Enjoying my re-visit a lot!!!

@jetsonjoe

Yes, bonzai3d has a lot of great import / export options to allow you to communicate well with other programs such as SketchUp, Modo, Autocad, and pretty much any 3d software.

We don't offer shirts, but we did just release a new training / demo video that you can see here:

youtube.com/watch?v=kiiygq9G2M­w

We will be making more webinars and training videos to cover more areas, and we can consider doing a kitchen for one of these. Let us know if you have any further Q's!

[jetsonjoe]

now if they would only redo these videos in higher quality...that is badly needed...quality of visuals is not so good.

@jetsonjoe

We are glad that you are appreciating the power of bonzai3d. We have truly tried to make creating quality geometry as quick and easy as possible!

Regarding the video quality, we are working this, and you can currently get a little better quality on our web site (bonzai3d - dot - com). Then go to Products: bonzai3d: Tutorial Videos: High Resolution. There are also Webinar Replays that you can access from the Support: Webinars: Webinar Replay section of our site

Well I am pleased and impressed that you took the time to answer these questions and comments so far...thanks....I look forward to the kitchen webinar or seminar or whatever and however it materializes.....A kitchen one would be most useful as many interiors have some sort of cabinet , closet, furniture and other ....Great.

[jetsonjoe]

Can you get t-shirts or golf shirts from you with Bonzai3D on them or other???

[jetsonjoe]

And yes I like your training files...very straightforward and well done...thanks...

And the webinars are excellent...glad they are available to watch. How about a webinar using say a kitchen plan and elevations and making a kitchen with components...that would be awesome...or a bathroom...Naaa...do a kitchen...walls, windows, cupboards, import appliances from a suppliers files...add textures..tiles, lights, yeah do the whole room....that would be awesome. When is FormZ version 7 coming out???

[jetsonjoe]

Thank you...I have been testing your offerings in importing and exporting files....seems you do more than you say...collada or colloda...is not such a good one for you though...once you play around they work. Eventually modo by luxology files?

Modo is my primary "other" software..but not much in the way of offering any cad enhancements...maybe you should do a plug-in...they have an amazing SDK kit.

Anyways...i see the direct Google warehouse is not integrated any more..too bad?

you do skp !!
