Thanks for all the help. I have a friend that uses autoCAD for work and she was interested in what other people use for their 3D rendering. I'll check into Rhino 3D and probably purchase it at the student pricing. Thanks again.

I sent him an email as well as posted it here and he just replied. Thanks for the help.

I was just wondering what are the advantages to using a urethan protectant such as Freeman 302 Urethan Protectant that uses an inert gas of 1,1,1-tetraflouroethane. Can you just use an inert gas such and nitrogen? My understanding is that after you spray your resin casting immediately after opening ...
