After 30+ years of woodworking I've gotten around to doing most of my work on the computer first. Half of it goes directly to CNC, the rest to 2d. The pedal, newel and brass surround are modeled from existing objects. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Jim ... I find the CNC and a good set of chisels to be a great combination.
wow! wow! wow! I love it... Im part of gen next and I am integrating alot of computer modeling into our 30 year old business. What program were these things created on? This is what Id like to be doing!

The short answer to your question is; AutoCAD, Cinema 4d and Photoshop. Everything shown has been built or is in process … and is the combined design effort of the owners, the contractor and myself. (The midi expression pedal, which I threw in just for fun, is my son’s company’s product).
What may catch your eye in these renderings is the lighting and texturing which only the ‘big, fat’ 3d programs have (free if you want to learn Blender). Tip - Photorealism, which can go much deeper than I have here, may leave others feeling cut out of the design process. Cinema 4d (free if you want to learn SketchUp) will produce line drawings from the models which is helpful in the early stages.
