Thanks a lot! Seems like another very valuable addition for the Starving developer's guide,

Edit: I especially like the calculate/search for 3D shape thing, it gives really awesome results.

Cheers

According to their forum the software will NOT remain free, though it will remain free throughout the beta. However, the developers have said that there will be two price points for the software. One will be for the "pros" and another that is, in their words, "not expensive". They have also stated that the prices for either versions have not been set yet.
