No I don't. Sign up for what? A google account? If so, then no problem for me.

oh darn, it's for 3d stuff.. I saw sketch and i was like, "WHOA a FREE 2-D DRAWING PROGRAM I MUST HAVE IT!!111".

MY cousin let me try NX 5, that's a pretty neat program. AutoCAD too but there's so much to learn before you can make anything decent.

May i ask, what is NX 5? Ive never heard of it before...

another one of 'em 3d programs, unsure of its whereabouts but im pretty sure its relevant to AutoCAD. anywho i tried googlesetchup6 the other day and it's pretty nice.. just dont like the simplicity, it's too simplified. it's like Adobe Elements on Photoshop

I learned about this and used it a bit in my old mechanical drafting class. It's great for simple objects and general plans of a lot or building, but it's not very useful as a precision 3D modeling program. Complex shapes get very tedious and require a lot of planning to make. For that you'll have to shell out big bucks or get a hookup from a drafter buddy.

here's what i taught myself, i made it for my design class, had to design a monument..

here's the bridge to get across the moat

and here's the idea for the monument even though its not there..

i had some problems though, mainly because of the "shaded with textures" thing.. when i check it, some parts are like cut out.. the other side of the bridge had a triangular cut out on the side. i have no clue how or why..

Very nice:tup:

Unfortunately I can't use this OR read Matt's eBook of the Zombie Survival Guide cause my computer=/= admin, and I probably won't be getting my own because my parents don't trust me anymore again....

um yeah, results, About that.. we presented today, but whatever I don't want to bother finishing it, i hate 3d programs becasue when you slect to use a specific layer, you are still able to interact with other layers, with confuses, frustrastes and is a pain in the butt
