Well get some sketches together and pass them onto via Matt... but the cd option sounds good when you get it back so we can do our own... ;)

Congrats by the way.....

DC++, get on there and download autocad, 3d-max, swift 3d or any programs like that.

Or get Chris to do it for you.

I recommend the second one! Most of those programs are a pain in the ass to use.........

pro desktop, bah, piece of pie. even i have been able to model up some nifty cars in my time. one project we did at school was to design F1 cars, and then get a model made, and race them with co2 bottles in the back. like 12 grams ones.
very useful as well for job purposes, depending on what you are looking for in a career.
 
CAD programs are meant for modeling things from your imagination which you want to make in real life.

If you want to do the opposite and create a 3d rendered model of a real life thing (such as a supair field) you need a 3d modeling program such as 3DS Max

Just go on DC++ or kazaa lite and get 3d studio max

There are many tutorials online to help u use max, you will pick it up in no time.

I use a 3D program called Maya.
It's a very high end graphics program, kind of like 3DS Max on Steriods.

I used it to do all the graphics work for Campaign Cup,
www.campaigncup.com
(in the fields section)

If you've never used a 3D package before, then i recomend some of the more user friendly packages, like Bryce 3D or something like that.

If you're just a Casual user, 3DS Max would work perfectly. Building Supair fields is dead easy, you can get all the dimentions from www.supairball.com and modeling bunkers is one of the easiest things you could possibly do, as they're all just basic primitive shapes.

dude.....thats the point.......im guessing ppl ahve not got the need of the ca$h mon£y to buy software like teh stuff i use for tens of thousands of quid to draw sup'air fields.

pro desktop is free;) and fecking easy to use and with the album function can render it pretty life like.......

trust me....this is my job
