Contours as Artwork and Housewares
OK, so it’s not really C3D related, but it’s at least field related. Fluidforms out of Austria, has what I think might be the first ever bowl with land development appeal.

It seems that Riverbed has been catching [...]

So, with that said, they have some sweet [...]
