CATIA V6 | Industrial Design | CATIA Natural Sketch for 3D Sketching Experience

From consumer products to transportation, the creative design process always starts with a sketch. Industrial designers across industries first draw their ideas on paper and then, as the project evolves, move to 3D to explore the design volumes and proportions.
CATIA V6 introduces CATIA Natural Sketch, a breakthrough 3D sketching experience that finally brings together the intuitiveness of creative 2D painting gesture and the power of accurate, realistic 3D modeling.
This first-of-its-kind lifelike creative experience helps designers to free up their creativity and share their ideas more rapidly and precisely.
It also allows them to quickly transform their 2D ideas into a 3D reality;
as well as explore design details and alternatives by sketching directly on existing 3D models.

Sketching in 3D allows designers to better understand their design in volume, avoid misinterpretations of 2D views, and better communicate their ideas. It also gives designers and design studio teams the ability to use 3D sketches curves to create the 3D model with surface modeling or subdivision surface modeling tools.
CATIA Natural Sketch complements the CATIA for Creative Designers solution to address the complete industrial design workflow with a unified environment, from ideation and concept to refinement and design validation, from the first sketch to the final production-ready 3D product.
By making sketching in 3D truly as intuitive as sketching on paper, CATIA Natural Sketch brings a revolutionary lifelike creative experience that matches designers' needs. CATIA V6 removes emotional barriers towards 3D creation by enabling designers to focus entirely on creativity and design intent and not on how to use the technology.

Wow ! CATIA is now launching the first 3D sketching software. Great !

[edwon]

Just try getting this software. First off, it`s minimum $10, 000 for Catia, then you`ll have to pay another $5000 for the natural sketch feature. But you won`t find that out until you`ve talked to retailers from two different countries who will only send you a price quote by fax. This is exactly what happened to me. I`ll be making a flame video about it soon with the full story.

[Lechovux]

yeah, i hope there is a demo version, so we can try it before buy...

[myhealthtoo]

Great vid, How much does the aoo you have to create the 3d vase cost and can I purchase demo or student version /?

[gsavogin]

...state of the art CAID. Catia makes it again, cheers for that!

[Cryptic]

Anyone used the smaller wacom intuos pro tablets with this feature in catia? How does it work? 

[dsCATIA]

Hi All, Yes this technology is already available in CATIA V6 R2012x for commercial & education packages (on workstation and also On-line).
It is available in the product package named "CATIA Industrial Design" which includes the following technologies 'Natural Sketch' for 3D Sketching, 'Imagine & Shape' for virtual Clay modeling with Subdivision surfaces, NURBS Surface modeling, Live Shape for Direct modeling & Assembly, Realtime Vis, STL for rapid Prototyping, IGES, STEP and 2D Drafting.

[engahmad]

Very interesting but I want to know what is the experience of the industrial designers from using this tool?

[SalamaSond]

If there was "an app for that", whose results could be ported to SW, I'd buy an iPad for my everyday noodling and doodling.

[JMSDesignify]

do you know if I can use this software witha a Wacom Bamboo tablet?

[nkendzior]

I havent read all the comments so i dont know it it was written before but could anbody tell me what indicating device is it ? I mean Brand and model

[PsychotropicDog]

you mean the Wacom cintig he's sketching on/with or the SpacePilot Pro sitting on the desk...

@3dsCATIA dearCATIApeople here there is a problem of communication...quote"catia6 introduced blabla"it means that is already out?
it means that will be inside the version catia6 sr xxx?
where is possible do download?
it doesnt appear in ur products list on the web
its a plug?
comunicate even with solidworks?
its a 2d/3d hybrid program on his own?
thanks for the eventual answers..hope this nice product/lunch after your "introduction" doesnt happen in 2058?
introduce it better;)
regards

[DanielMalyuta]

Where can I get the educational Catia V6 version?

[goalkeepercreeg]

how do i get this? is interactive the screen available also?

[stefanoceppidesign]

@3dsCATIA i hope u can answer my questions bellow..and if u want to let product industrial designers work "freely" with ur products, could u make it please "less rigid" to many clicking to accept everything even a line and the layers menu is a bit chaotic to me (to me;)) - for example c4d has a much clean layer bar for example...im a vehicle and product designer and i would like to move into catia but still to rigid to experiment forms...no all of us must comeup with class A surf. in1go;)

@JonBanquer concerning comments... 3dsCATIA could take a lesson from JonBanquer's own policy of not allowing comments on his video ;)
