3D modelling for a noob
Right, after some 3d design/cad type software or whatever it is.
Easy to learn for a complete noob to design software like myself.
What do you guys recomend?
Cheers

I can send you a d/l link for ProD. Its a legit copy from when it was freeware. No liscencing issues.
Send me a U2U if you want a copy.
Solidworks is easier to work, but the liscence is a bugger sometimes.

I would look for something like Autodesk Inventor, or Solidworks, or maybe Rhino - is this for a career thing or just on a private/personal level?

Plus it's another skill learnt

Pro Desktop is very easy to learn, plus there are loads of downloadable tutorials on the web now. I teach it to 12 year olds and they grasp it after
two or three lessons.
"just like that !"

easiest by far to learn is sketchup, but is only really for archiatects and cant do really complex structures. i really dont like prodesktop, and i
find stuff like rhino and autocad very hard to grasp. dont know how much you use computers or condone pirating but you can download solidworks which
is industry standard very easily on torrent, i got one from snarf-it.org i think.

Sketchup is as powerful as the person using it. It is as powerful in all aspects as other applications mention except in rendering (even that its can
be made more powerful with add ins).
This is personal advise or personal opinion.
Constructive comments gratefully recieved, picking is left for noses.

aUTOCAD
if you want a one off... and want to stay legal... you can download the latest release (2007) of Autocad 3d fully functional.. with a 30 day try
license for free...
rendering is a bit basic.. (use 3d studio max if you want bells and whistles) but i found it easy to learn..
I read the tutorial before installing it... and modelled the front suspension in the first night..
good luck..

This is sketchup, you can model to 0.0000001 of a mm, I love it!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
