AutoCAD probably is the best, and more expensive.
Don't really know any other program, maybe 3D Studio Max but that one's costly too... Last edited by ASCII Man; 8 Mar 2003 at 16:42. |

3d studio max is available on Kazaa, but you'll have to search for the right one since there are a lot that don't work. AutoCAD is also available there too.

We at FTS have used CATIA V4 and V5, Pro-E, and CadKey. CATIA V4 (my favorite) requires a UNIX workstation (expensive), and is the aerospace industry standard. Pro-E is also popular in aerospace, though it lacks the complex surfacing and lofting capability of CATIA. Pro-E, CATIA V5, and CadKey will work on a good PC. We are currently doing all our car designs on CadKey, a good all-around and relatively inexpensive ($3500) package. We will soon be upgrading to CATIA V5 (estimated $10,000)as soon as IBM and Dassault get more bugs worked out, as I believe this will become THE industry standard.

(not KaZaA) Last edited by pirenzo; 9 Mar 2003 at 21:49. |

It appears that they dont offer it anymore. They offered it in the US 2 or so years ago and i think a year ago they switched to only offering it to people in Europe.

"Rhino" seems to be used for the 350Z.
