Fast Bound, 8 1/2 x 11 Format, 150 pages. Color, $29.95.
Walter Silva unlocks the secrets of freeform, solid modeling in KeyCreator. Learn how to create a wide variety of castings, molded parts, formed metal objects, manifold objects, and more with step-by-step instructions, updated stunning color screen captures in this full re-cut, from the master of solid modeling.
Walter Silva, President of Conceptual Product Development, Inc. stated, “I meet many KeyCreator users that demonstrate a good proficiency in the application but never really master the art of solid modeling. In my Sizzling Solids book, I help the user develop a natural ability to model almost any part. I like to say, ‘you need to let your fingers do the modeling so your brain can focus on the design.’”
Fast Bound, 8 1/2 x 11 Format, 330 pages. Color, $79.95.
Doctor Walt’s Face Logic Strikes unveils the
extreme power of KEYCREATOR’s solid model editing. Unlike
parametric feature-based modelers, the pure geometry editing
capabilities of KEYCREATOR makes modification of both native
and imported models simple for even a beginner. Full color
screen captures and practical step-by-step examples simplify
the learning process. Dozens of special tricks and hidden
options are described in detail. This book is a must have
for both novices and experienced users.

Starting with a comprehensive treatment of
two-dimensional construction, the exercises then proceed
through solid modeling, assembly techniques, and creation of
associated drawings. In keeping with the many studies that
prove that realistic color illustrations enhance the
learning experience, all Doctor Walt’s books are now
available exclusively in full color.
