Re: Re: Hmmmm
The package used for the 3D images is called ProEngineer developed by a company called PTC. Never heard of them? they are the 4th biggest software developer in the world!
It is a 3D modelling suite and the basic version costs around £6000. For all the add-ons for animation, mould flow analysis, stress analysis etc it will set you back a couple of hundred thousand. I used it to get the internal volume of the box as it will give me the volume at the click of a button then i can shave a bit off or add a bit on to adjust it. A hell of a lot easier than calculating of paper! If you just want basic 3D shapes like i did then TurboCAD and AutoCAD will do the same. If you want to make it look really fancy then you could use ProE or SolidWorks. I only wanted to show the principal though so i only spend a few mins on it!
Anyway, lets stop talking about the tools and back to the cars! Those installs all look pretty sweet! I'm going to have mine removable so i can still use the boot. Will put a pic up when it's done!
Cheers everyone. Al
