For instance, at this early stage of my comparing the two, I seem to detect a greater nuance in lighting in the Autocad results, but, so far, I can't be sure. Would you mind elaborating on what you see are the main differences. You mention that you don't think the models of the two programs are the same. Glad you mentioned Autocad models because I have been using AutoCad 12 and like what I'm getting from it, but, it's so much more work to get to the final result as compared to the intuitive user interface of SketchUp. The first is 32" x 40" and the other is 24" x 30".
If my attachment process worked, there should be images of my first two finished paintings with this reply. I don't render them, or, anything like that, just simple solid constructions that I use for form and lighting, adding my own ideas for color and texture as I execute the painting. I am using simple Autocad solid models as inspirations for abstract oil paintings. Well, Sean, I'm finally back at 7:30pm! So much for expectations. I'm now trying to simply add it to this post: Hi Sid, what type of modeling do you want to do? Also what is the desired end result of your efforts? Are you wanting to render images of your models (you mentioned lighting)?į1700es, I'm in a time crunch at the moment and have to split, but, I will explain all when I get back here later this morning (hopefully, this morning).ĮDIT: I tried to post the following as a reply and kept getting failed results with the message that "the token had expired-reload the page".
