It's already beginning to, Quinta are doing printed cockpits, as are Eduard, who are also offering printed flaps now.Wonder I'd 3d will replace PE?
I'm a software developer with lots of 3D design experience so I have some advantages.
There's a learning curve, FOR SURE. For me, I settled on Fusion 360 and picked a project that I really wanted to build: a 1:144 Aries 1B from "2001: A Space Odyssey". I spent, and I'm not kidding, close to 1500 hours during COVID on this model and learning the software. And now, I really know the software. Part of it is also figuring out what types of models you're most interested in doing. Fusion 360 is great for mechanical forms whereas Blender or other software may be able to do a better job with more organic forms. I actually use Adobe Medium on my Oculus VR to sculpt in 3 dimensions, but that's not for everyone either.Welcome to the forum Ed.
The software and designing is THE biggest part that baffles me. I have something i really want to design but watching the videos on Youtube just confuses me even more lol
I will do a post on it in the next couple days with more details, but here are a couple quick pictures (remember it's 1:144 scale):HI ED can we see pic of that space craft from 2001 ?
