Learning 3D modelling - Progress Thread

**Requiem** · 02-02-2012, 12:34 PM

I'm not doing 3D modeling for video games, but I will be doing 3D design for my career. We use a suite of programs made by AutoDesk, the people who make 3DS Max. They are for designing functioning parts in 3D space that actually 'work' and have physical characteristics. Pretty cool. Not exactly the same thing, but in a way it is. Not taking that class yet, but I've taken it before and we designed a 3D air engine that actually functioned and was sent to the machine shop to be manufactured.
