Autodesk, the powerhouse behind industry-standard software like Maya and 3ds MAX, has unveiled a new tool called Project Falcon. This browser-based platform aims to make 3D modelling more accessible by eliminating the need for technical knowledge or prior experience.
The intuitive interface guides users through the entire workflow, encouraging experimentation with kitbashing techniques—combining pre-made parts into creative models of vehicles and spaceships. Once you've created your design, Autodesk gives you options to refine it in their full-featured Maya or 3ds Max software, or even export directly for 3D printing.
Perfect for novices eager to explore 3D modelling without the steep learning curve typical of professional tools, Project Falcon is a game-changer. There's no installation required; users simply create an Autodesk account and get started in their dedicated cloud space.
The tool's simplicity means it lacks full manual control, making it more suitable for those who want to dip their toes into 3D creation without diving headfirst into complex software. However, it paves the way for a broader audience to engage with this exciting form of digital art and design.
