Title: Free CAD software
Post by: Chad Holton on August 21, 2015, 07:34:59 AM
Hey guys/gals,

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, sorry if it has. Anyhow, I was talking with a friend of mine and he mentioned a free CAD software that he has tried out and thought it looked promising: http://freecadweb.org/

I have had KeyShot users ask about this in support before and thought I would share to our awesome forum community - in case you or someone you know was searching for something.

Looks like it is getting there. It can shift the render to pov-ray or luxrender as a fyi and play around if opencl with R7 260X works. My current IC still opens the step file faster and KS is much simpler to understand. May be this will be a plan b solution for some.

luxrender doesnot see the opencl for R7 260x. Pov-ray works. It was just a trial and back to plan A
