software for box design wanted

Artmaster · 13th January 2005, 06:21 AM

which software do you use for box design?
autocad? corel? 3dmax?
I think it should be 3D support.

Good question. I thought that using cad software would be a good idea, I downloaded some freeware/trialware programs and decided that a pencil and paper didn't seem so bad afterall!!!!

I think it would take me longer to work out how to use the programs than it would to simply draw it!

Oh well.

There used to be a polygon limited version of Lightwave available for free download. It is a proper 3D package, uses real world measurements, and is much simpler than 3dMax to use.

Try sketchup - it may do what you want, and is extremely easy to learn (ive heard)

If you are after 3DSM like functionality and have broadband, you might want to try maya personal learning edition http://www.alias.com/eng/products-se...le/index.shtml

I have it but haven't tried it out (my ex downloaded it as she was into 3d graphics).
