Hi Matt, Yes - I'm sure a cube van would be much easier :) - but I'd recommend you shoot for your helicopter - push your skills. It's a great way to learn. It is a tough subject - in either 2D or 3D - and probably a similar amount of work either way. As James says there's hardly a straight line in i...

I'm desperate to see technical illustrators.org and this forum more active - I don't want to loose it. Is there anything I, or any other members could do to help? There's not been a postfor quite some time.

Hi Steven, I'm afraid I can't offer you any direction on the AutoCAD front, but I was wondering why you're going that for 3D work, is it choice or is it coming your way for some other reason? I'm just curious as I've no experience with it, but have always thought of it as more as being more oriented...

I don't visit often, but I guess my visit today was timely. I really appreciate the existence of this forum - and the main site. Thanks for all your work todate. For info and chat on tech illustration, I really don't know of any other location on the web that comes close. I hope you can find some wa...
