FreeStyle Sketch Tracer in a Nutshell
|
 |
| The FreeStyle Sketch Tracer is a
new-generation tool used to import stylist's drawings into the 3D world.
Using this product you can convert 2D images into a 3D scene to create
3D geometry from your hand drawings, or other source such as pictures. You
position the 3D model in relation to the sketch and, in conjunction with
other products, create geometric outlines directly over the sketches.
The FreeStyle Sketch Tracer User's Guide has been designed as an aid to
using the FreeStyle Sketch Tracer by itself, but also in conjunction with
other FreeStyle products or any other workbench. |

Infrastructure User's Guide that describes generic capabilities common
to all Version 5 products. It also describes the general layout of V5 and
the interoperability between workbenches. You may also like to read the
