Basically there are two main types of 3D modellers

"Block modellers"(as i know them), such as AutoCad, Autodesk Inventor etc. these are used for acurate models such as engines, heating systems and products.

There are also "vertex modellers"(as i know them), these are used for game developpment, animation etc. and it just a case of plotting vertex's and joining them together. although these are less acurate you can be more creative with them.

As for your second question
Quote: "is it compatible with DBP ?"


I'm sorry and don't have a clue, I will maybe try importing some of my Autocad models in to DBPro, not that they would be any use in a game.

Get back to you

Autocad is very good to work models with complicated curves, and yes is fully compatible with 3dsmax, and with db.
Most of the times I start at least the preliminary lines of my models in autocad, and then export to 3dsmax to deal with the textures,lights,anim, etc

Does anyone know if there is some kind of converter that will take like Inventor's .ipt files and convert them into something DB can use?
