Hello
I need to draw pretty basic 3D drawings of possible products, these products are pretty basic.
I have no experience of doing any 3D work so looking for some advice. I use photoshop and illustrator a lot in work and have short experience using cad 2D.
Any advice for a beginner on what software to look at and where to get it.  ____________________ Current: 2019 Yamaha T7 -> 2015 KTM Superduke R | 2000 Yamaha R1 Past -> 2009 KTM 990 SM -> 2005 kawasaki ZX10r -> 2000 Honda CBR 600 FY -> 2002 Honda XLV 125 Varadero

Solidworks is probarbly the best, but not the best for product forn
For detailed drawings i'd recommend solidworks
If you are focusing on aesthetics then use 3D Studio Max
Studio max can be downloaded for free search google, but solidworks is expensive, your uni/company will have it though
Hope it helps  |

Catia is a very good piece of software but I expect it would be overkill for what you want to do. Solidworks is also a good bit of kit  ____________________ Suzuki GSX-R 750 K6. |
