Hello guys!

Can somebody give me some advice for mechanical softwares? I would like to test some ideas. My plan is that I going to draw in Moi and than I would like to test like in the real world. Unfortunately I dont have workshop :) And I need some assembly- and working-animation about it. Actually It would be an movable sun shading system.

Oh I am thinking on cheap applications. :) I know ... ProE, Solidedgem, Sworks

meyba is it possible with Blender's physics? Really is Blender or any 3D software's physics engine suitable for these right phisically based simulation?

Hi andras,
If you have Rhino there is Bongo or you can give this freeware a go Anim8or, I haven't looked at it myself but it would be interesting, so if you give it ago let us know what you think.

Cheers

Truespace TS 7.6 is free and has a pretty nice Physical engine. you can even writr your own plug
or use the link editor to make procedural animations....
HTH!

If you do a survey, the number of people who could put up with using TSs UI would be ?

A better choice, in the free apps, is, by far, Blender.

I agree Brian. I purchased TrueSpace 5 years ago. By far, the worst user interface ever designed by man. After 3 months of frustration I placed it on the shelf for good. I wouldn't take it if it was free - time to learn it is not worth wasting. I'm a HyperShot fan now.

I purchased TS 7.5 with Vray...After 2 month I told: Nothanks! :D (I had got a lots import probleme too slow and more). Anyway I thought of TS Thanks your suggestion. I found a multibody dinamic simulation python script based on an italian university. I hope that will be proper.
