solidThinking Evolve® allows designers to develop forms faster, using either Windows or OS X. It enables the capture of an initial sketch, exploration of styling alternatives, and visualization of products with realistic renderings generated in real time. Evolve provides organic surface modeling, parametric solid controls, and polygonal modeling with NURBS-based surfaces and solids and a unique ConstructionTree™ history feature. It frees designers from the constraints of traditional CAD tools, while allowing the export of digital models required by others in the product development process. Benefits Product Highlights • ybrid modeler with organic surface H modeling, solid surfacing, and polygonal modeling • nlimited construction history U provides real-time updates when modifications are made to parameters or surfaces • Real-time photo realistic rendering • Available on both Windows and Mac Learn more: altairhyperworks.com/evolve Model Freely Created by designers for designers, Evolve provides free form surfacing, solid modeling, and polygonal modeling in a single package. This allows the best approach to be applied to each aspect of a design. Evolve allows users to mix and match modeling techniques on the fly without any additional plugins. Best-in-class Construction History • nlimited construction history provides U real-time updates when modifications are made to parameters or surfaces. • rowse the graphic representation of the B construction history to identify and select source objects within the history tree with immediate reconstruction. • anipulate both the parameters and M points of all objects freely. Never forget the steps involved in construction - the entire tree is saved inside the file and is accessible at any time. • hanks to the possibility to freely T manipulate your models, you can easily experiment with new shapes and improve your creativity. Make Changes Effortlessly The ConstructionTree history allows users to edit a point or a parameter and then let Evolve automatically update the entire model. Typically surface modelers require the recreation of an entire model to accommodate a dimensional change. Render Beautifully Quickly test and evaluate designs, materials, or environments in real-time while developing your model. Evolve offers users the ability to create photorealistic images and animation with a built-in renderer. Advanced NURBS Modeling Evolve uses NURBS (Non Uniform Rational B-Splines) as its geometry type. This curve and surface definition m

Set of glasses modeled and rendered in Evolve greatest flexibility and precision. NURBS are capable of representing any desired shape, both analytic and free form, and their algorithms are extremely fast and stable. Full NURBS-based modeling, construction history, and the most advanced modeling tools make Evolve a matchless tool for designers. Polygonal Modeling and Subdivision Surfaces Evolve also features an advanced polygonal modeler with support of n-side polygons. It is possible to create and extrude polygons, split faces and edges, refine, decimate, and perform many other operations....
