I want to be a future car designer
-
i Will try what you think is best. I am underage so i cant afford to buy a highly expensive software. Do you know about a good program for designing cars that is free or does not cost an arm and a leg?
-
MoI and Gmax are both good places to start, look back at this thread for the links. Although MoI has a free versio, you cant save an models in it, but if you do really get into it its only $200, very cheap by modelling software standards.
-
Do you know about any tutorials on that programs? By the way which program did you say professional car designers use?
-
Catia was the one someone suggested professional car designers use. I dont know much aobut it myself but i do know its very powerful and very adaptable, not sure how easy it is to use though, or how easy it is to get started with.
-
Have a look at this post of Paul and follow the link to the YouTube vide to see what it's all about.
Certainly Catia is not a software beginners should start with - it's just for your attention and opening perspectives.
-
Wow from what i just read Catia is awsome! Do you think i should try and convince my parents to buy it for me? Do i have to download it or can i buy a cd version?
-
I jsut did a quick browse fo their website, and i think its a download. Its only $75, so if you can convince your parents to get a copy for you, go for it. You can't go wrong for $75
-
Cool I will get right on to begging lolz
-
Can you give me the URL on the website?

Have cool cars modeling or others
-
What do you mean? By "Have cool cars modeling or others"
-
Seems Catia permit to modelise cars, yes, but also some other things boats planes etc...
-
Wow thats really cool. My dad thought it was really good. Is it true that it shows wear and tear damage to the model too?
-
probably can't do everyday wear and tear but I imagine it could do wear on an engine for example.
-
I might get it. My dad said that if i behave i can get it. Do you know of a trial version?
-
I know Blender is a very good and FREE 3D modeler, I don't know if it's easy to model cars with. But maybe you should check it out, there are also a lot of tutorials about blender.
Good luck
-
Ive tried blender but its too complicated. Maybe ill give it another shot
-
Ray, you might want to have a look at this
seems like a very useful site, and one that i definetly need to look at when i get some time.

hey c mon guys, sketchup can do anything,i proved that with my cars,and many others did that,i don t say that is better than others programs but is all i know,and i know it pretty well,i like sketchup because it hasn t so many parametters and many words that i can t understand like 3ds max or others,in SU i pick up the line tool and i can do almost all with it
and ray ur cars like design are quiet good but how they are created is a mesty,u must keep organized the wires.
happy sketching! -
Thanks ely... do you have any tips for me?
