- Here is my recommendation:
- (primarily for Macintosh Platform)
-
- * Form*Z for building 3D models (from concept to finalization)
- * Claris CAD / Auto CAD for 2D drafting (very limited value for
- academic set up. Typically production oriented)
- * CANVAS 3.1 for illuastration
- * Photoshop for image processing.
- * Dyna Perspective / Infini*D for Walkthroughs / Animations.
-
- At least try the above packages before you consider buying any other packages.
- Good luck.
