CAD 3-D design
I recently discovered a great freeware CAD (Computer- Aided Design) program called Blender that I have been playing around with. It’s available for Windows and Mac. Here’s a screenshot of a snowman I made with it:
Admittedly it’s not a work of art but it’s my first project. I am hoping to make some LEGO parts at some point. Also, although it’s difficult, you can also do 3-D animation with Blender. I haven’t figured that out yet, but I’m going to take a class based on blender, so hopefully, I’ll learn how to do it then.

Huh, my friends always talked about it but I never used it before. Tell me how you do in trying to duplicate legos!

Yeah, it is a bit confusing. Although I do know the tutorial you’re talking about, this isn’t exactly like it. The instructions didn’t make any sense so most of it I just figured out on my own.
