Software: What 3d software is everyone using? I've tried Blender.  Intuitive and easy is what they claim, impossible and painful is what it actually is. I acquired a version of 3D studio back in the day.  Awesome program, freaking expensive. Has anyone tried Google Sketch Up? Also, has anyone been able to take a rapid prototype, make a mold and start casting figures?  I saw some awesome masters on the board (nice robot Evil), but I haven't seen the full mass production deal. Thanks, TrademasterAdam |

I use MoI (www.moi3d.com) for my designs. It's cheap and comparatively easy to learn. |

I use Rhinoceros, which is not as cheap, and I probably should have gone with MoI as Otterman seems to get great results from it. |

I don't think google sketchup will export the .stl files required for rapid prototyping unless you upgrade to the pro version? Ive seen a few people use solid works over on warseer as well. Who said blender was easy to learn  it seems to be regarded as having a very steep learning curve.

I use AutoCad 2008, because it is available through my work. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't use it. |

Moment of Inspiration (MoI3D) here too - very intuitive and easy to learn ... |

I use sketchup, but only becuase I've got access to the pro version as part of my course. |

I use blender, it is actually pretty quick and easy to use although I was transitioning in from Maya. |
