I also use Coreldraw to manage my jobs for laser cutting.
#Luxcorerender daz studio free
It has a great community support and it's free to use and open-source. It uses a layer approach, has layer fusion modes, alpha channel for masking, bezier path support, many brushes and selection tools, filters, and supports a large variety of image file formats to name just a few of its features.Ĭoncerning vector drawing I mainly use Inkscape for tracing bitmaps (raster to vector conversion), convert between vectorial file formats, and uses it to produce files either for the vinyl cutter or the laser cutter. Gimp has pretty much all the features you could find on Photoshop6 which is plenty enough for most of the tasks. I use it for most all of my 2D projects but also 3D ones (making textures, masks, post-processing renders, etc.). Some of my modeling projects are shared here.Ĭoncerning 2D CAD I intensively used Adobe Photoshop for raster images during about 10 years before switching to Gimp because it's free and open-source. I've used some of them extensively during many years. I've followed the progress made by 3D packages and have tried most of them during these last 25 years (about 150 CAD softwares). I first discovered 3D modeling in 1996 and have been modeling nearly every day since. This week I worked on modeling my project in 2 versions with SketchUp and tested 5 different renderers. I have started a new project for this year and its related new CAD is here. This page reflects my past year work for the CAD week.
