GroBoto

This is a really cool 3D program I just discovered, called GroBoto. Really useful for creating complex stuff (although not so much for simpler shapes).

Well, we know that the Thingy is made of Stuff, and that it can take any shape...

So maybe. :P

Lol The THINGY :lol:

Thanks for sharing the link Zenoc2 :)
It's just a pity that it costs, but I might get the free demo to play around :P

Zenoc,

These things are just a mess of cylinders, why can't you do them with sketchup? I never used sketchup, however practically any 3D program can do shapes like that.

Cool, Zenoc. :) Yeah, I like Groboto. I use it when I need specific shapes or sometimes strange formations...should probably use it more, though.
