I Love New York Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Lately I have been trying to find any good free downloads from the internet and programs at stores where I can start drawing 3D. I would also like to somehow see if there's anyway I can turn my simple Paintbrush drawings into more of a 3D design. Info would be appreciated.

AJLynn Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Have you tried any 3D apps? There are free downloads of some good ones out there, such as a demo version of Cinema4D (maxon.net) or Sketchup (sketchup.com) or a "Personal Learning Version" of Maya (alias.com). Maya is probably the hardest of those to learn but the download is the best - this version is not time-limited (Sketchup trial runs for 8 hours then quits) and lets you save files (C4D demo does not) but it only renders at low resolution.

alias_marks Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I second Strat's recommendation. Blender is great for just getting started and definitely the right price. There's a great community behind blender too and I've never had to much trouble coming up with solutions to problems I come accross. Lots of good tutorials too to get started. If your in the same boat as me I started out using blender and then as resources grew, I was able to get into 3ds max. Lots of stuff I learned in blender helped a lot with learning max. I would also second AJLynn's recommendation and download the free version of sketchUP. It's a lot of fun Good luck, Mike ------------------ visit www.vizualjourney.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJLynn Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 old school it. pov-ray. ....although i don't recommend it. Ugh. Yafray is way prettier. Also, there's the free Maxwellish one and the free one with a funny name that begins with a letter like K and has some good looking GI... you know what I mean, right?
