Please help me. I see all of these awsome looking 3D images and i dont know how to make them.
I have heard of a program called Rhino but i cant figure out hor to use it

did you not read my post i have tried that and can't figure out how to use it

So do you think there's a secret password or something? That you'll learn 3D graphics on a spud cannon forum?
I guess the best reply to your problem is "Try harder!".
You can start by going through Rhinos' Help.

try out a tutorial, and free rhino stinks, it runs out after 25 saves

look around for true freebies

I just made a 3d design of my next cannon (the only thing missing is the 4" pipe for the chambre) :

i just got solidworks and i made this

2mb, measurements accurate to 1/8 of an inch

let me guess.... coaxial piston cannon.

Thats good 1 Salad, but you left out the keyway and set screw holes. HeHeHeHaHaHa

I'm at work on a Mac so I haven't tried it out, but google recently bought the company that makes SketchUp and they offer a free version now >link<
I've seen it used alot in computer modding forums for sketching out case-designs.

Although, I'm more of a Maya man myself.
