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.

I have a phobia for pre-releases.... and I have no clue how I got it

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

The guys voice on the tutorial is priceless. Sounds like he's hung over.
