#ACAD Substitute<g>
4 messages in this thread
I've got a client who is moving his AEC drafting from the table to
the Computer. Problem is his funds are limited. (aren't we all<g>)
He wants to do Walk throughs and all the wonderful things that 3D
Studio can give him but he just doesn't have the cash to invest in
AutoCAD Release 12 Plus AutoArchitect AND 3D Studio….Oh Ya he's
gotta buy a computer too cause all they got now is an SX.
My original Idea was to have him purchase AutoCAD and a less expensive
3rd party package for the 3D Geometry like Architectural Power tools
but he can't even make the AutoCAD $'s.
I was also thinking that maybe Generic CAD would work but as a Dealer
I've never used anything other than full blown AutoCAD with the
higher end AEC packages.
Does anyone have experience creating 3D Architectural Geometry and
then importing it in to 3D Studio for further Renderings and
Presentation.???? I sure could use some economical advice on this
guys -low- end 3D Studio Starter Kit!
As Always any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
all in advance. James M. Murphy
See the suggestions I gave Steven C. Amos, in the message "3D soft.
ADVICE needed", above. These should be right up your alley.
Good luck!
James;
If he cant afford the move to Acad how can he afford 3D-Studio? The
way to cut cost would be to go with the AutoCad and then go with
something like ARE-24, an ads program that does 24bit animations
inside autocad that are 100% compat. to Ani Pro. With this
application everything is done inside AutoCad. Any moifications that
need to be done in the same place. Theres no need to togle between
the two applications.
Hope it helps! Bill Scott 72002,313
Thank you Bill….Under consideration.
