1, three-dimensional software
including Rhino, Keyshot, cinema4D, 3Dmax, pro-E, solidworks, etc., mainly used for three-dimensional and spatial presentation of the product as well as the texture of the product, the structure of the expression and so on.
2, plane (two-dimensional) software
including photoshop (PS), coreldraw (CDR), illustrator (AI), InDesign (ID), etc., mainly used in the preliminary research icon, visualization of the production of information icons, as well as the final details of the product to adjust the product and the product used in the environment scene map etc.
3, rendering software
including vray, keyshot. to the 3D model without material material and color.
Two, learning industrial design need to be proficient in which design software
1, AutoCAD
With AutoCAD2010 software, you can more easily solve the most serious design challenges. With its free-form design tools, you can create virtually any shape you can imagine; its parametric drawing capabilities can help you reduce revision time and ensure that everything is coordinated and organized; you can easily enjoy your design ideas in PDF format***, you can also use the software's 3D printing capabilities to print your ideas.
2, Pro/ENGINEER
Pro/ENGINEER has become the leader in 3D modeling software. Pro/ENGINEER2000i2 has been released. PTC's series of software includes a number of functions in industrial design and mechanical design, but also includes the management of large assemblies, functional simulation, manufacturing, product data management, etc. Pro/ENGINEER also provides the most comprehensive and tightly integrated product development environment that can be achieved.
3, UG
UG in the aerospace, automotive, general machinery, industrial equipment, medical equipment and other high-tech applications in the field of mechanical design and mold processing automation of the market has been widely used. Over the years, UGS has been supporting General Motors in the implementation of what is now the world's largest virtual product development program, and has been greatly used in the global automotive industry, such as Navistar, Detroit Diesel Works, Winnebago, and RobertBoschAG.
4, SolidWorks
SolidWorks software is the world's first Windows-based development of three-dimensional CAD system, due to technological innovations in line with the development of CAD technology trends and trends, SolidWorks Corporation in two years to become the most profitable company in the CAD / CAM industry. SolidWorks has been honored with dozens, if not hundreds, of technological innovations each year due to its strong financial position and user support.
5, Cinema4D
Germany MAXON Cinema4D, is a set of integration of 3D modeling, animation and calculation of advanced three-dimensional drawing software, has been famous for high-speed graphics computing speed, and amazing renderer and particle system. It contains a wide range of powerful and easy-to-use modeling tools that modern 3D artists need, including Bones, NURBS and the simplest, easy-to-use and effective lighting options. It can be oriented towards printing, publishing, designing and creating product visualizations.
6, 3Dsmax
3dsmax2009 + VR1.5SP2; because of its perfect rendering texture completely comparable to the real product effect, whether it is interior design, or product design, or furniture design, allows you to render a stunning product performance effect.
In addition, in addition to the mandatory design software, industrial designers will be based on their own actual situation, choose to learn some commonly used software, such as AI, PS, Rhinoceros, Maya, Zbrush and so on. This is usually based on the designer's work needs and interests to learn.
