[Robotgroup] CAD stuff

[Marc Emerson]

3D studio max is great if you have an extra $3500 laying around. I
learned it when it was 2.0 don't think it was even max at that point. 

I think brooks, and maybe you john would enjoy blender more. Its free,
opensource, and python based. Good for modeling, rendering, raytracing,
inverse kinematics, particle systems, nurbs, video post...
It can read and write most 3d formats....even motion capture files.
Did I mention its free?

Hey Brooks,

I looked at your cad stuff. I like the illustration design for the
house, it 
kind of reminds me of  Frank Lloyd Wright meets Roger Dean (the guy that
did 
those old Yes album covers).  I should hook you up with some 3D studio
max, 
you could generate some realistic environments and Lighting elements in
a 
snap. Keep up the great work :)

Hey gang ,
  I wish I could make it out to the retreat but instead of fixing my
latest 
car repairs (water pump,altenator and power stearing pump .What kind of 
moron designs an engine that you have to remove the whole front of the 
engine to change the water pump?) I chose to spend huge amounts of time 
making pictures of what I want to build out in Kingsland .

I have enough parts to build the main first floor shop as a 24 foot by
48 
feet .The dome will have to wait .
