Create a 3-D effect

[photobum]

I have not even attempted this one yet, however I would like to address it to Wendy. It would be very creative if I could see a tutorial on how to make an object appear to be 3-D and be able to see the interior parts. For example how do graphic artists show an object from the inside out where the outside of the object is nearly transparent and you can see the interior parts. I have seen examples of this technique with automobiles, guns, and almost any object. Thanks in advance,

Hi ..

Do you think that you could find an example and I will take a look at it :)

The best example that I can locate at the present is at the following web site. Then click on Perspective Drawing and you will see a blueprint of a sail boat. This is the best description that I can get at the moment.

I think most of those are done with Autocad or some other type of engineering software. I dappled in Autocad a bit for my brother to help him with it and those were common type drawings he was working on.

Google has a free 3D application called Sketchup (http://reviews.cnet.com/illustration/google-sketchup/4505-3633_7-31861341.html?tag=img). :)

Hi ..

Yes those sort of things are indeed done in a 3D Modelling application ... I too have played around a little with Autocad and its fun :)
