CAD Art, Etc.

[Sovereign]

I dabble in CAD, strictly as a hobby.  I've done many other pieces (original and inspired)--won't link to them lest I be accused of advertising or self-promotion.

That said, here's an extremely basic start to a Dome Ship.

Looks really neat, but I want to know what CAD art is. Looks like computer generated clay.

Whoops.  Jargon alert 

CAD: Computer-aided design

In this case, I used Rhinoceros 5 (compare 3ds max, maya, blender) with stock renderer (different renderers offer varying lighting features).  No textures (image files used like paint) applied.

That is a sweet ride.

I'll eventually add more details, but 3D art is frustrating.  Sometimes I'll open the program, stare at the file, then close it having changed nothing.  Or undo a bunch of work, then re-do something else.  Only to revert back to the first a week later...
