PeanuckleJive Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Just looking for something fairly simple, not had a play with 3D modelling in a while and wanted to see what I could come up with using it. Something fairly light too, Don't want it taking it up a huge chunk of hard drive Preferably free Inspire me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_coggan Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) If you want to be drawing houses Sketch Up is quite good, have a look on google images what sort of things you can do with it.

LukasMcNeal Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 ProD we use it at school, it's old(ish) and you should be able to get it for "free" if that fails the newer version ProE. ProDesktop and ProEngineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers dude, Not all that interested in houses but thanks anyway ProD we use it at school, it's old(ish) and you should be able to get it for "free" if that fails the newer version ProE. ProDesktop and ProEngineering That's the one! We used it at college but I couldn't remember the name! See if I can find it on the net somewhere, cheers man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OD404 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Stay clear of ProEngineer if you want something light. As recommended, go for ProDesktop, that will do the trick for just giving modelling a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeanuckleJive Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Who said google sketchup is just for buildings? pretty much everywhere on the download pages it talks about drawing buildings and uploading to google earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
