I would like to know which programs do you recomend for 3D modeling.

I would like something cheap but that can open the path for some professional work. I am thinking of maybe selling them or use them to print the masters and then make resin copies.

Thanks in advance,
Angel

You can check out Autodesk Fusion 360. I think it's the best value for the money. The students or "Startup" versions are free while the full license is $40 per month.

Thanks Michael.

If I would want to get serious with 3D modeling do you think it is still the best option or maybe it would be better another software?

For serious, highly advanced modeling, programs like CATIA or Solidworks are better and can't really be beat. But these cost much, much more than Fusion.

The seats of Unigraphics NX I use at work cost... I think it's north of $20K plus $5k/ Year for "maintenance"

Thanks Michael and Matt for your time and help.

I think I will stick with Autodesk Fusion 360 in order to learn.

Angel
