3D course

[stephen]

I hope this is the right place for this ???

I am looking to do a 3d modelling course, i was basically thinking of just doing a 3d cad course, but after looking around here, max and viz have caught my eye.

I work in the water industry, and have done basic courses previously.

Also where in scotland would i be able to one

Thanks

Stephen ;D

hi There

ask David he is located in the UK, i am not.

i hope This is helpful.

maybe David could start an On-Line Training course by subscription, just an Idea. This could be a benefit to a LOT of people.

Thanks

Oh yes because at the moment I really don't have enough to do! ;D

I must admit that I don't know anyone in Scotland doing MAX training (although it certainly happens). Probably best doing a web search. All the places I know are in England - sorry.

[stephen]

so which do you think would be most appropriate for an engineering application?

Or would 3d cad do?

There is a company called datacad, who have recently changed name, that have an office near me, anyone heard of them?

[CADTutor]

I've heard of them but I don't know anything about them. Why don't you ask them if they can give you the names of a couple of people who have been on their course. You can then check to see what the training was like.

As for what you should use - well depends on what you're using it for. 3D AutoCAD is OK for many people but if you want to do anything fancy, you'll need to move to VIZ or MAX.

[stephen]

I think i am probably gonna have to take into consideration the licence costs of getting another application for the company.

Do you know of any sites with autocad 3d examples?

Im currently only using lt at work, though i have the full version in the house, so would i be able to open any examples at work?

[stephen]

meant to ask, can anyone recommend a book to use instead of a course?

I teach kids at sec school 2D & 3D CAD, using AutoCAD 2000i.
3D is pretty easy if you are a competent 2D user.

You can basically draw anything in 3D with AutoCAD. If it's
fancy renderings you are after then viz etc are more sutiable.

Autodesk inventor looks really good, demos on the autodesk website.
