tobes Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 At school i have noticed that the students that are doing A-Level technology have been using a 3d modeling program and i want to know what it is. They seemed to be designing cameras. I saw that the program allowed them to rotate around the object and change the serface areas (colour, shading) Does anyone know what this mystery program is?

Guest Nellie2 Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Funny you should say that...... I suppose there are a few programs that can do that, but I have a cover disk that came with the August 2003 issue of Computer Buyer and it has a full version of Amapi 3D v. 5.15 on it. I haven't actually had a go at it yet.....but I intend to... but it is supposed to do everything that you described and more. The magazine has quite a comprehensive tutorial in it too!!

tobes Posted July 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 i think it might be AutoCAD. is that a possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Well yes....... it could be anything though. Here is some info on AutoCadauto cad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobes Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I am convinced it is not Auto CAD after using a demo version it is not the same. The program used at school looked alot simpler and i remeber them clicking on the camera and it would change the tone of the surface. oh and i also remember that the area around the camera they were working on (blank space) was grey and not black (auto CAD=black) Any ideas?

Guest Damo Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 could be 3d studio max?orMilkshake?Both are 3d modelling programs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobes Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I think it used for single objects rather than whole landscapes of things. It allowed objects to be rotated rather than just seeing a flat image that looks 3D. If you know what i mean. It looked like quite a simple program(but i may be wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvw Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 using a 3d modeling program and i want to know what it isWhy don't you ask them what the program is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobes Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 because it is the holidays now and i dont see them for another 6 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 To be honest we could be guessing for the next six weeks. Here is are some links about the programs that Damo mentioned3D studio maxmilkshake infoI also did a google using '3D modelling program' as my key words and there were loads of programes to choose from. Perhaps that may be an option?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobes Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 ok it was not those two. Im just going to get all the facts togetehr i know about the program:It is a 3d modeling program that models single 3d objects and not flat images that look 3d. It possibly has a camera as one of its templates.It allows you to select a serface colour and automaticly adds shading.The work spae is grey (not black like most)I was probably quite cheap (school has it)I think it was quite a basic programIts not:Milkshape3D studio MaxAmapi 3DAuto CADThats all i knowIf you have ant ideas at all then please let me knowBut if not thancks for tryingCYA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
