Hi Loply,

So was 3D Studio really that good in the late 90s-early 00s?

All we used at college then was Acad 10, 12, 13, LT, and after college got onto Acad 2000, Mech desk 2 and 3 and that was about it.

Did you ever try Autodesk Inventor?  :D

kwackers:
I thought 3D studio had been replace by 3DS Max by then.

We used 3D studio a lot and switched to Max later, a lot of companies I work for also use Maya, both usually require various plug ins writing (although that's handled by our tools team).

I suspect they're all overkill for engineering though - but great if you fancy doing the next version of Shrek...

123d has now had an update to beta 5.
I downloaded yesterday but still to fully try it.
Seems better at first glance.

loply:
Sorry when I said 3D Studio I was actually referring to Max.

It's certainly a good program, there's virtually nothing it can't do, and some of the results in terms of renderings and movies speak for themselves.

For designing parts and whatnot it's just a bit slow though.
