  <title>Back of Napkin to Model</title>
  <link>http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&amp;goto=62356&amp;th=12928#msg_62356</link>
  <description><![CDATA[Okay, I'm sure you've heard this before: I have a dozen &quot;back of a napkin&quot; ideas that I want to prototype in 3D and pitch. How can I get my sketches from the napkin into tangible 3D models? <br />
I'm an older dude with pretty good skills, but far from what you would consider a designer or maker. Although I'm proficient with digital audio and visual media, (I'm a filmmaker)  I don't use any design software, but could learn.<br />
Please, your input is valuable, please steer me in the right direction.<br />
Thanks, Rob]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[You might start with something simple like Sketchup <a href="http&#58;&#47;&#47;www.sketchup.com/" target="_blank">http://www.sketchup.com/</a>]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[If you learn Blender it also has (was actually designed for) tools to create images/movies/animation which might tie in with your background. Like Sketchup it is also FREE!<br />
<br />
I don't know Sketchup and how easy it is to get to grips with: Blender is a little intimidating to begin, but you can soon produce something printable if you persevere. <br />
<br />
People produce good models with both packages.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Thanks for these tips. I downloaded Sketchup and am looking at the tutorials. I'll check out Blender too. Other suggestions are welcomed! Thanks - this seems to be a great community.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I haven't really used sketchup before .. But have heard good things. I have used a few different programs, Even tho blender is a free software , with its latest few versions I prefer it to some of the other known... You can now do so much more with blender and getting them modeled and print ready . I agree with AmLachDesigns, its a little intimidating .. but there are tons of tutorials on line. and is well worth the learning process]]></description>
