innerdream Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I can't justify 495 US right now. I've been using the demo's but that's going to run out soon. I just want to make Architecture to scale to import into Cheetah as .fbx or .3ds. Thanks in advance. Opps my bad! Wrong forum, please move.

frank1331 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Why not just use the free version of Sketch-up. It doesn't have all of the beels and whistles but the modeling is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJLynn Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Use the free version and put the demo on another computer to do exporting? Have you tried Blender? It's not much like Sketchup but it seems to be everybody's favorite free 3D program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 It's unlikely that you or someone you work with uses Datacad, but the new version of that (DC12) directly opens SU6 files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAllusionisst Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Might try out 'Moment of Inspiration' while it is free. I believe it is the main programer who was behind Rhino and is now on his own. Haven't used it yet, so no comments: http://moi3d.com/ Other option might be to join Daz3D and then get the members price on 'Hexegon' for like $29.95 or something or Carrara 5 for $87.00 http://www.daz3d.com/ http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/software/hexagon/-/? Good Luck! Ernest, you still using DataCad? I still use 8.5 every once in a while http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/software/carrara_5/-/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerdream Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hey thanks everyone! I'll check em out. What about Microspot? I know it imports .3ds...I'm going to download the demo for export features list. Edit: no export as in Microspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron-cds Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Silo is $109, but it may not be suitable for architectural modeling. Mostly people use it for organic modeling. But hey, $109 is pretty cheap. The price changes to $159 when version 2 is released. http://www.nevercenter.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to be able to build building shells and interior shells to scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
