At the end the best software is the one with you are the more comfortable even it has not all functions! :)

For young people today it's marvelous to can use with no money such programs like Blender, Unity, Sketchup, Fusion, Fusion 360 etc...

I will want to use Blender but alas I am not genetically modified for that! (50 years ago maybe! ;)

Have fun modeling!

//I'm much more excited with a renderer like Clarisse or Arnold than Thea.

Agree :) it depends what is your target.
Talking about extreme photo-realism unbiased engines is the choice but Arnold...
i remember few years ago a user here posted a render using Arnold,it was impressive how metals were so real
ok,also depends of the user's skills ;)

I see Marco you got Rhino in your pipeline
I did a Rhino's course some years ago
coming from Autocad 2000-2005 and being a MOI's user should be easy but...Rhino's snap system slowed down my workflow
I said to myself:"I'm not so good" :)
Later,i discovered that the person who created Rhino then created MOI.He changed a lot the snap system ;)

Autodesk markets heavily to students. Most of their products' educational versions are free. I think they may still be free for about 2 years afterwards if they sign up at the right time (if they are still doing the 3 year license registration).

Hi Mauro,

> I see Marco you got Rhino in your pipeline

Yes but, clearly, I've got Moi also.

Rhino's workflow is horrible (even in the V6 WIP...what a disappointment, I've no words...) but it has some commands so powerful
that I cannot get rid of it...

That is, for all normal situations I use Moi, but for certain particular cases (surface continuity, import point cloud, import huge obj file, etc...)
I have to use Rhino V5.

Ciao!
