Cosmic Blobs 1

[berkshire]

The people that made Solidworks had a 3d program for kids called Cosmic Blobs.
I was just about to send a copy to my grand kids, now that they are old enough to appreciate it, and I find it has been withdrawn from the market.
Anybody know what happened there?

I don't think anything happened, except you must have forgotten how to do a web search. You should have found "

http://www.cosmicblobs.com"

at the top of the list.

I see it there:

https://customercenter.solidworks.c....swe?SWECmd=Login&SWEPL=1&SWETS=1206989556952

But, it will not let me scroll down on any page within all of the SW site.

I did not have any trouble finding it,
I had trouble buying it
When I tried to purchase the program I got the following message:

Lego had some great software for virtual 3D Lego modelling. I bought it for my nephews a few years ago. Money well spent. Now I need to see if I can get it for my sons.

Go to the SW labs page and download CB Model Pro for free. It's the same thing as Cosmic Blobs.

Thanks Bob.
Thats the same animal, it is set up for a more adult mind than Cosmic Blobs. Do you think a couple of 8 year olds can handle the interface?

[berkshire]

CBL,

Now what do you think about a pair of 8 year olds handling CB model pro?

Hello Tick and anyone interested,

Lego Digital Designer is free and it has something like smart mates, here is the link:

And it runs on a Mac too!

cheers,

I think they would take to it like they to anything computer related. My grandson is 6 years old and knows his way around a computer better than his mother ... and his grandmother.

Being that it's free, why not download it for yourself, let them try it, and if they like it, then download and register copies for them.

 

[berkshire]

That sounds like a plan
Thanks all.
