Any graphic/industrial designers?
 

Have you got any experience of using a CAD program called Blender?

I have done a course in Product Design & Manufacture and have ended up as a manufacturing engineer - yawn. I want to delve back into the graphic design side of my course (but it really wasn't covered that well) so i'm playing about at home trying to do a visualisation of my SV650S at home and going from there.

Unfortunately I can't afford to buy a decent program (i tried using a demo of Cinema 4d which i like) and have ended up with blender, an opensource 3D graphics program... it seems quite good when you get used to the user interface. However i would like to be able to ask questions to someone who knows!

I really should use Blender - but too lazy to change to it.

Sorry but unable to help

Can't afford to buy a decent program. Thats very honest of you.

Most people would go to thepiratebay.org or other similar sites and down load the software for free using bittorrent :wink:

some people looked around and got stuck in a host of warez and porn sites before giving up... they might decide to try that link though :wink:

well here's three days of work... I think this might take some time!

Don't really know about industrial design, but I use Maya for 3D visual effects work. You can download a learning copy from http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...112&id=7639525 .
