#3D Studio vs Designer
2 messages in this thread
Hi:
I have spent the last six months learning to work with Designer (that's 3-D
solids modeling) with the intention of becoming proficient in mechanical
design.
However, I've recently become more interested in computer art. After attending
a 3D Studio users group meeting and seeing what some of those guys are doing
with animation, I'm wondering if that's where the future is.
I don't want to burden down this forum with a hundred and one questions, but
since I have the time to learn and a little money to invest in software, I'd
like to hear from someone who may have a few answers.
Sincerely,
George

I don't think the future is in art. <g> But you can certainly express your
artistic spirit with 3DS as well as or better than any package out there IMO.
An area where you can have some artistic input is in computer games. That is
where the future is, if you want to combine the two. And 3DS has a solid hold
on the gaming industry in terms of development which looks to continue very
strongly into the forseeable future.
Whatever you decide, you can't go wrong with 3DS, its heritage is rooted in
AutoCAD and was born with that in mind but has expanded out into a world of its
own. The ties are still there, but you are not limited by them.
