This is really impressive to me:

It's a sketching application that's sort of a sketch to modeling tool.

Wow, cool find Eric! Would love to see this kind of thing for rhino.

[EricKlein]

yeah, I wonder how well it approximates/blends those sketched curves?

Hehe.. that's what I was thinking too. Downloaded the example files but none of my programs could open a .ma file.
I reckon you'd have to do quite a bit of rebuilding. They are probably all degree5 curves with a point count of a billion!

.ma is Maya.

That is really impressive.

I have seen some of the examples up at the MoI forums. Some in the MoI community are quickly creating models from the linework output. Seems like it would be a very powerful combination.

Nice one beestee, they've posted some rhino files of the curves there too.

I must say I'm pretty impressed, all degree3 curves and nice and smooth too.
