I am up for it I have cnc experience with artcam and aspire (well all of the vectric programs) 3d progs learning Z brush now, some solidworks, bobcad, C4D (like this one), 3D Studio max, Poser, True space and some others i cant remember.
I am getting a New CNC Router later this year and will be a merchant member for CNC work once the machine is in place.

sounds interesting. I wanted to attend this, but couldn't make it (along with vegas...grrr)

This is good news. It looks like the 3D dimensional work is a very limited arena but is in big demand. Any ideas on how to expand this into something for and expanded training sessions?
I have Aspire and a CNC router and have been doing some 3D work. It pays very well. But I would like get much faster in the design side of it all.

techman,
Since you have Aspire you and i are in the same boat (love the program, the abilities and the price).
I have been a self taught on the side playing with 3D design guy for a long time never really got seriouse. Well I am like you I see a big demand and the price tags to go with it and I have some of the know how.
Modeling is and always will be the hardest part and will keep many people out of this arena.
Look into Z Brush its a bit different than most of the other modeling programs Also check out C4D I really like C4D I feel it and Z Brush are a lot more user friendlly than 3D Studio max or Maya or Rhino and on and on and on.
Not sure if you can get demos (most likely you can) then check out the tutorials on youtube there are some really good tuts for beginners and some that take you from nothing to all out animated objects and characters.
Hope to see you right next to me listed as some of the best 3D sign guys around. (maybe someday)

Sculptris is the ZBrush "lite" version and it's free.
DAZ is another good program ( free ) to use for 3-D modeling

Its good to see some interest.
In my mind I would like to see a forum here where 3d modelers can chat and give techniques related to dimensional vector art for cnc work..
I held a camp at my office a while ago that was well received. The most questions concerned vector modeling and software techniques.
Other questions included general vector construction and font manipulation.
There is a need for modelers using Artcam, Aspire, DAZ etc. And there is a need for a place to discuss modeling techniques.
I also know that many do not wish to openly share their hard learned and difficult to master techniques because it is what makes them good money. And I am aware of the copying problems that other segments have to deal with.
Lets make a deal.

Ask and you shall receive. Here's a link to our new 3D Modeling forum.
