Very nice, but DUDE, images are too big for the thread. Please replace with thumbnails.

Again, great Sketchup work.

Sorry...I don't seem to have that ability to edit them.

ares93 · December 3 2010, 08:24 PM

Aight, so i've been looking into modeling the last few days. which one is the easiest to learn? don't worry about the price, i can probably get them through my school.

Tallguy · December 3 2010, 09:05 PM

Sketchup. By far. They did what I thought was impossible: They made 3D modeling intuitive.

Saquist · December 4 2010, 10:50 PM

Exactly....

Currently I know sketchup and Auto CAD and I'm learning lightwave and Solidworks....
sketchup is the obvious success.

have u used maya ??

Saquist · February 28 2011, 02:37 PM

I have it but haven't used it.

I specialize in CAD products.
Auto CAD
Solid Works
Sketchup

I'm working on learning 3D Studio Max

3D was so last century, I model exclusively in 10D.

Of course texturing/shaing requires a rudimentary understanding of graduate level string theory

On a serious note, I'm very fond of LightWave.. shortcomings and all. It's what I learned on, plus it has very accessibly priced student versions

Question:

In other programs I've seen some import 2D drawings to use as a basis from which to build their 3D models. Can the same be done in Google Sketchup? I've begun learning Sketchup and it's something I'd like to know.

BlobVanDam · January 23 2012, 10:45 AM

Sure you can. I've never used Sketchup, but I've seen other people set it up fine. I just did a Google search for set up blueprints google sketchup and there seemed to be some good tutorials.

Starship · January 23 2012, 12:38 PM

Yes, sketchup is a good option. It´s a bit complex if you try to build organics or not so hard surfaces, but you can do it. Sketchup has a dedicated community, which produces LOTS of plugins for free. Oh, and after done, you can share the model and open it in other pc without to need the plugin.

I´m a max user but, just for curiosity, I played with sketchup. I built a mesh (a starship) in just one week, without any manual, just based upon try and error to see how intuitive the application is. And it´s a fact.

mByers · January 27 2012, 01:49 PM

i get you, the thought of designing something certainly accrued to me but it also always seemed hard

maybe i should get over myself and do it

I am interested in Electricrain's Swift 3D program to import sketchup model (which have been oncverted into 3ds) to animated it as a vector.

Doe anyone have any experience using swift 3d?

Ranger · March 13 2012, 11:45 PM

I started off with Blender, it was free, and still use it as I can model faster and easier with it than I can with Lightwave.
But that's just me...

Solarbaby · March 14 2012, 03:25 AM

Here's the result I got from using SWift3D to create a vector based flash file. Its a 15 MB files for 5 seconds. FLash had a nervous breakdown when I imported it.
