Your experiences/opinions on Fusion surface modeling wanted

Like human figure, animals, etc. I will take a look at Sculptris. Thanks.

That’s about 300 hours, not bad. Command lines are not a problem, but the thing about command-line app is that one has to use it regularly or one can forget.

Yes. I will get some feedback here before deciding which one or two to give it a try. If I dedicate a certain amount of time, such as 500 hours, to learn something, I want that to be a wise investment.

All the 3D designs I do are for 3D printing. Fusion meets the majority of the needs. Occasionally though, I would like to add some organic shapes into the mix, such as animals, human figures, etc. The surface modeling in Fusion isn’t an easy tool for it. Hence the search for an alternative app for organic modeling.

Forward looking, I want AI to save me the time to learn the hard skills that are involved. Imagine we can just tell AI to make a cat model, then look at it and tell AI to tweak it exaxtly to our liking. Our imaginations, our ideas, our designs, carried out by AI as a modeling assistant. We don’t even need to know what CAD features or functions are involved, how to use it, or what function we may be unaware of that could have been a better choice, or what new features are coming. In short, let AI handle the tedious work and free us to focus on creative aspects of the design.
