Hello!! Well, I'm an architecture student who has wasted tons of time trying to get gentoo runing all kind of necessary software for my studies.
Maybe if I tell you what software I use, it will help you: For 3d: Maya for linux (prop.) Pro/E for linux (prop.) Blender -> IT'S REALLY GOOD (probably one of the best pieces of software available) It is just not used for companies. For video: Cinelerra For vectorial drawing: Sodipodi Scribus (I really like it, it has all the necessary things) -> use it instead of Adobe Indesign or Illustrator For raster images: Well, of course, GIMP For CAD: Qcad (It is reeeeeeaaally BAD) unuseful for Autocad people. BricsCAD (prop.) It works OK for Autocad users. You can get a Demo. As you can see, unfortunately, there are still some points where CAD/CAM and architecture linux users need some propietary software. I tried many other programs (like Varicad and so on) but they, simply, make you waste your time. Make any other question about this topic, I think I can help you. Good luck!! .alvaro.castro. ______________________________________________ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.
