3D Design Software

[Brown.]

Can any one point me in the direction of a decent basic package which will allow panning and roation of a 3D object, hoping to put a basic factory plan into a 3D concept and have the ability to view the design in 360Degree's......



cheers in advance.

Fair play that looks half decent, especially as it came from google sketch!

I've only had to view something on it once, and it ran like a dog, but that could be due to the model size.

i did notice some lag in operations, god knows how it would run with the house as seen in my failed tube embed above

I use Maya, awesome stuff, seems bottomless.

Will have a bash with that one though, looks fairly simple.
