    ZBrush

    Submitted by: Allison Fonder

    As ZBrush is a digital sculpting tool often used for animations, it also turns out to be a great modeling software for soft goods visualization. Designers can get really detailed organic modeling results out of this program. Keep in mind this is not CAD program.

    Modo: Creative 3D Modeling Software

    Submitted by: Cad Junkie

    Modo sits nicely in-between a the accuracy expected from CAD and the freeform of more organic DCC software. Modeling can be either destructive or non-destructive depending on the designers intended outcome/workflow. Modo operates on Mac, PC, and Linux OS which makes it one of the more flexible to use apps on the market.

    Mesh Fusion is an amazing blend of live boolean operations with the SubD geometry which makes for quick iterative design possibilities and changes. The rendering capability that's built into the software is very capable of out putting images intended for any range of downstream graphics needs. It is possible to import/export files for CAD applications which makes it ideal to be placed on either end of the design process.

    blender.org - Home of the Blender project - Free and Open 3D Creation Software

    Submitted by: Cad Junkie

    While not a "CAD" software there are very compelling reasons to have this a designers wheelhouse of 3D modeling tools.

    - It's free and always will be, runs on a Mac or PC, and has a very strong community of users and developers.
    - Offers a wide range of different tools such as 2D sketching - Grease Pencil, as well as sculptural tools aka zBrush,
    and an amazing rendering and animation suite.
    - Customization allows users to really get in to the software however they so choose. Being able to create code/scripts or purchase ones that suit ones needs from the market place also adds a level of most other packages don't.
