_BLENDER

I downloaded Blender directly from Lubuntu VirtualBox, after trying it, it crashed as soon as I started working. So I could check the interface and some properties, commands, but couldn´t model anything at all.

_RHINO 5

It was my first approach to Rhino5, it was hard, but definitely the one i found the most useful and easy to work with. Though I didn´t have much time to get deeply in it, I will for certain keep on using it. The only thing I find it difficult with is in the preciseness of measure, but with time I think I will catch up. The image is from a Rhino class were I learnt how to loft, or sweep surfaces.

 

_SOLIDWORKS

For the final project I learned how to use solidworks, which I find really accurate for designing mechanisms, joints.

 

TROUBLESHOOTING

01. Trying to use Blender with Linux took me a lot of time and struggle. That´s why I decided to use Rhino and 2d programms in Windows.
