Drawing.

09/18/2007 11:14 PM

CAD was way after my time and I have been considering learning how to use a reasonable drawing package. I am not going to spend any money on it because it is of limited use to me, and I also don't want to spend a life-time figuring out how to use it. So far my best find has been trueSpace3.2 by Caligari. I have literally just popped the box (so to speak) and hitting buttons randomly produced the picture underneath. It appears to have potential, but does anybody have knowledge of this or better freeware to use (before I invest time in getting to grips with trueSpace). It may just save you all from some of the diabolical sketches I occasionally scan and post. I stress the point that I just randomly hit a few buttons for the 'whatever' depicted below. Constructive comment may inspire me to learn and draw something of use.

trueSpace saves in a ".scn" format which is a slight annoyance for copying to CR4

It's cabbage eaters or yellow bellies up here (I believe I'm currently in the same county as PlbMak). 'Course I'm not really from round here, me cocker. And I too once lived (for 6 months!) in Basildon, getting paid by Uncle Henry.

Now, where's me zider. Has Pete nicked it again, the stinker!!

When Mrs T said 'Frit' it reminded me of the playground... somewhat SE of Grantham. Eating carrots never helped me see in the dark, though Ruddles didn't help. Ah... I can see the first house I remember living in here even further SE.

(Pete will have returned the zider to the bottle, but I don't think you'd want it !)
