Silverwing: Plasticity Introduction - Watch Modeling PT1

MESSAGE:
This is the introduction to another 3D package "Plasticity"
Whereas C4D and Blender are Poly based Plasticity is a CAD modeler. I would say it's the most easy to learn and most affordable option out there and I think the tagline "CAD for Artists" is spot on.
Especially if you are coming from Blender you will quickly feel at home as a lot of the shortcuts overlap.
It's a very easy to use piece of software. You just have to have the right set of mind to work with CAD. And this is exactly what I have in mind with this Video. Which is the first part of a series, making this watch come to life in 3D
