Joe Eagar Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I wrote the new modeler in Blender, and I'd like to know if anyone has used it for woodworking projects. I'm well aware Blender isn't suited for CAD work, and frankly, I didn't design the new modeler for CAD to begin with. Nonetheless, I'm curious if any brave soul uses Blender for laying out woodworking projects. I imagine it's more work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanGatico Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Hi Joe Unforunately, I don't have experience with that software, when it comes to woodworking most people use SKETCHUP and then render with Kerkhitea. I wonder if possible some connection between SKETCHUP and BLENDER, I guess it would make terrific rendered models. Tks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jHop Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've tried, but my learning curve is waaaaaay too steep to be able to offer any feedback other than "it's too hard!" in a whiny 4 year old voice. In all seriousness, I don't use Blender for woodworking, as it handles active interactions far better than Sketchup, but that's not what woodworking design is focusing on. From a design perspective, a woodworker is more interested in straight-line details like dimensions, as these are not going to rotate often or move, and Blender handles that latter part very well.
