tzframpton Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi. Wich is the best program to apply materials and render a 3D project made in Autocad? Many thanks. Why not just use AutoCAD? Check out some renders in the Showcase that only used AutoCAD. There are some good quality renders in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 There are many programs you could purchase for rendering your Autocad models. Do you have a budget for new software? If not, just do as tzframpton suggested and use Autocad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzframpton Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi. I'm just checking to take the best option. Materials too? Showcase? Sorry where is that? Many thanks. Showcase Forum is here: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?15-Showcase And yes, Materials too. AutoCAD can handle all of that. Granted, it's nowhere near as good as some programs that exist, but it would be thousands more when AutoCAD may suffice just fine. In my guitar modeling thread I used AutoCAD to model and render the project and it turned out fine: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?71752-Modeling-my-Fender-Squier-Stratocaster-fun-project-for-me It shows that AutoCAD is still plenty powerful.

Cad64 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yes, no problem with budget, just want to know the best. I can't give you a proper assessment of the "best" program to use because I have not tried everything out there. I do have a lot of experience with rendering in 3D Studio Max, but that's a very expensive option if you're only going to use the program for rendering. Since you already have Autocad, I would suggest just sticking with that, but here are a few options you might want to take a look at: Sketchup Pro with the Vray plugin Accurender Keyshot Rhino3D/Brazil bundle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
