The feedback on the survey was overwhelming and will form rubbery mold we shove the future of SolidSmack into. We’ve got a winner to announce from the survey and a little more to tell you about… a design contest in fact. Here we go!

GrabCAD and KeyShot are punching up the Pantone possibilities to see what kind of MCAD rendering you can create. The rendering doesn’t even have to be created using KeyShot.
