Paper and pencil for 2-D, POV-Ray (free!) for 3-D renders. Don't forget to also do a design of your material usage. |

I use alias wavefront's Maya all day at work so i know it inside out, so i used that to build it and texture it all in 3D before i built the real thing, and i could make all the adjustments ,and measurements before hand. |

His is a great question, but I thought I'd narrow it down to what do you guys use for Control Panel design, since if printing an overlay, you need precise placement of the button holes...? I've heard of people using Visio. |

I was hoping to use Visio, not because I think it is the great solution, but because I have it and it should work. But when I tried the stencils available here (http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade_downloads.shtml#JackVisio and http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade_downloads.shtml#JasonVisio), Visio 2000 reported it couldn't open those files. Are the files bad, or is this just a version problem? If anyone has stencils for Visio, I'd like to get them. I'd think Illustrator would be a decent tool as well, and would make an easy transistion from layout to graphics. But I don't have Illustrator on my current computer. -foomench |
