Catia V5 - 3D CAD Car Design Animation

and they're pretty expensive

some can even go up to 18k

good job.What grafics card do you use?

yeah. I think solidworks is the best way to get into this programs.SolidWorks contains many tutorials and has a nice and easy to use environment.I am experienced in it and i'm for what i tell you.

sorry man but this car is really ugly haha, anyway i think was a lot of fun to create it, dooesn't it?

Let's call it a project that I did some time ago to improve my skills with Catia. I did not use the typical features for automotive design but anyhow... that's what it is.

i´m sorry, mate, but is this a car that has been designed or how can i call it? please get alias studio tools.

there is solid works too..

Apart form Catia V5 there are 3 programs by Autodesk: 3ds max, AutoCAD and Inventor...
Those 4 are the ones to pick from I guess.

hey i am planing on starting stuff like this and i cannot find any decent software to get me started, got any suggestions for me?

I took a course in college about 2 years ago and there some free internet tutorials that I've learned from...

how did you learn to use this software so expertly? trial and error? google? learning course at college? i've made some mediocre designs, you can check them out by clocking my name. they're nowhere near as complex as your car.

the design is quite boxy but maybe thats what you're going for.

Catia is of very little use for game design. Adobe Illustrator or 3D Studio Max could be what you're looking for...
But I've never worked with either one so I'm not sure.

i want to design an army tank for a pc game any suggestions on software and where to get it?

If I had to guess... probably 20 - 30 hours. But only because I changed a lot of detail over and over again.
