The new way of shape modeling!
The functional modeling by Caelum XXen is a brand new
modeling method enabling to put design intent into model.
- Design intent into modeling 1. Maintain the space
4. Create a pocket
2. Maintain the space for a certain objective
As a pocket feature is moved
outside of body, the wall to
maintain the pocket feature will
automatically be created.
3. Maintain a shell
