Looks cool! Kind of like Sketchup but for nurbs.

It creates some fantastic shapes, this is something new for sure. I only wish the program would export the mesh with quads instead of triangles.

The beta for this is pretty solid - I think they'll mainly be adding new export/import formats between now and Nov.
