RECENT PRESS QUOTES:

«Everybody knows how hard it is to create Low Poly 3D characters. There are few tools that are able to do it on the market. The release of the version 1.2 was the opportunity for us to test QUIDAM in greater details. We had some nice surprises: hyper intuitive sculpture, external object import and of course the lowpoly export that creates superb avatars." (translated from French)»

Aubin Canoën, Web3D-fr.com, May 2007


«Is N-Sided Quidam v1.2 a worthwhile purchase? Certainly. Coupled with the LPA plugin, Quidam is a handy character creation solution with a bright future ahead of it.»
