I haven't been able to find anything, but if anybody does I would like to know as well.

The only thing I can think of is AutoCAD programs. I love AutoCAD2002, I am always designing and making 3d models of wheels and bodykits and stuff. The only thing is that it is a professional engineering/architectural program. Therefore it cost around 3000 bucks and it is very dificult to learn. That is what I do at work, so I know how to do it.

You can make 3d cars and such, but it isn't anything you can just throw together in a day or two.

I've got AutoCAD LT 2000. Will that work. My brother has used it before but I haven't. Know of any good tutorials?

[ACCORD EX]

i am loking for something easier ! something works with wizards !

I am guessing he ripped it off of a warez site :licker: ? I don't really know of anyone that makes one other than AutoCAD. I guess you could try your luck with them, but they may require a cd key and serial # before they will send one to you.


**Oh, and it is pretty involved making complex objects such as cars... hehe. You can wireframe stuff and it is easier than extruding and rev.**

You could try Rino. I think you can download it from Kazaa. You can draw almost anything with that.

[91HBSi]

Rino? Does it do 3 dimensional objects or anything like that?

If you don't want to get into all of the 3D stuff and just draw a sideview of a car, then AutoCAD would be good, cause for that all you need is to know a couple of commands. That is what I used to do because it was easy and plus once you draw it you can draw different rims and put them on your car, lower your car, and draw bodykits and put them on.

The only commands you need for all of those with autoCAD are;
line
"circle"
"arc"
"F8"-for ortho so you can make horiz. or vert. lines w/out guessing

then there are the snap commands so you can connect objects and such.
end
mid
quadrant (for circles)
tangent (circles)
node

and several others.

Just ask if you have any questions.

Actually my brother bought it from his college bookstore. He was taking an Autocad class. On the box it says for student and faculty purchase only.

i used autocad in high school and that shit is a pain to use, i would keep looking, it may be easy for you guys, but i had trouble making a box on that shit, forget it.

[ACCORD EX]

hey man ! it pretty hard to draw a car in your mind on paper ! what do you think that will be in AutoCAD ! :greenchai
