OK, so the last poll revealed that no one cares if the OS goes away as long as our lovely apps work. Hoorah. But who cares about OS this or OS that when you can model up something sweet you’ve always wanted to, right?
There’s the 3D modeling at your day job, but what if you had your choice? I somehow doubt most would honestly choose gasket molds. Not that gasket molds don’t ‘pay the bills,’ but what would be the ideal? I’d be throwing down some models of spacecraft, robots and toys myself. What would you model?
Pick 3
There could be a lot of options here, so we’ll keep it broad.
What We Model is Maybe Not What We Want to Model Really
It’s a pretty good assumption that most people are not happy with their regular job. Those that use 3D product design software have a set of skills a lot of idea people wish they had. And the people that have those skills are just too busy or burnt out at the end of the day to put effort into pursuing their own ideas.
I’d at least try one of the options you checked above. Lunch breaks are sacred, I know, but you could shove that sandwich in your piehole, model up something cool and turn it into that dream job of designing beachcraft for a resort in Fiji.

SolidSmack is a very small behemoth of an online community about 3D CAD, technology, design, robots, and ninjas… Ok, maybe not ninjas so much, but those guys are COOL so there just might be something about some dang ninjas.

How about modeling food. Then you could get a 3D printer with flavorings added into the pellets and viola, you have a pixely cheese burger ready for devouring
Not a good idea for you americans, I think you guys have enough food
I'd model a muffler bearing, a sky hook, and a cheerio.
I have started modeling my own world with little towns and stuff!!! Kind of let it go with a new baby and all but after this post I just might pick up where I left off. Thanks.
Missing one box to tick : ALL of the Above
Been there, done that…

I'm going to have to work on ver. 2.0 though, cause that first one just didn't have enough taste/texture to it. Maybe a little HyperShot action will give a bit more flavor.
question…
did you actually scan meat for that texture? you did, didn't you. You scanned meat at 600 dpi.
…and you're starving over there?
go for it 3Dgeorge, and contact me when you're done. would love to see it/purchase beachfront property.
There is surely no better way to spend a morning than that. Count me in TT.
Um, yes? Containers are a little iffy, but that is a nice selection of product categories you've got going there…
Spacecraft and weapons, please!
almost makes you wonder. can you have one without the other?
we all know, you Joe Flaherty, are a container modelin' fool.
You make containers for more containers, I know it.
I am not that far into 3d modelling yet, but I got the Student version of Solidworks and started making buildings and stuff for my hobby, which is Warhammer 40k. So it was just for fun and maybe later reference to making the real scale model.
