dooleygav Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I dont know if i put this in the right section here, (There are so Many!!) Is there any free software packages out there that you can design cars on?... like body and wheels and stuff?... It doesnt have to be CAD based.... I just think it would be a cool thing to have and use. Thanks in advance! Quote
BOB'27T Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 See if this might help: http://www.digitalcardesign.com/ Quote
dooleygav Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 Yea, i was on that, no real downloads or help there really, that site is just saying use solidworks or CAD or something!! Quote
shift1313 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 i dont know of anything free but Unigraphics NX6(most current) is designed for the auto and ship building industry. The surface modeling package with UGS is very good. It also has things built to help with car design. It is not an easy package to use but it can do everything from bodies, to interiors, making molds to form fenders etc. here is a screen shot with a few of the auto specific tool bars open. What are you trying to do exactly? Quote
dooleygav Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 cool, well if it sint free i wudnt be interested!!! Ha ha ha Quote
dooleygav Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 I'm giving blender a try, just wanna get used to it... Quote
shift1313 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 what are you looking to do? do you just want "skin" representations of concepts or are you trying to actually model a car? Quote
Raggi_Thor Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 http://www.freeship.org I have used this for small boats. It should be possible to design the exterior of a car also. Quote
Raggi_Thor Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I am a bit confused. Freeship was open source, then the developer made a new version and called it DelftShip. Another group is still developing the old Freeship(?) http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=140466 Quote
f700es Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I'd say AutoDesk Alias Studio http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=6871131&siteID=123112 That or either Rhino. EDIT: Duh you said free. There used to be a PLE version. Are you a student? Maybe there is a student version. Quote
dooleygav Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 probrably just skin concepts.... Quote
Raggi_Thor Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Regarding Alias Studio and Rhino: Is there any free software packages out there ...............! Rhino costs approx 900 Euros? You have a free demo version that lets you save 25(?) times. I think Rhino is the best choise, low cost and easy to use. Quote
f700es Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Yeah, I see that he wanted free, hence my edit. If he is a student he can get the student version of Rhino pretty cheap.
