What program is best for drawing 3d images?

Yeah...I was thinking it was Auto Cad or soemthing, but I might be wrong. What is the best program for drawing 3d images that you can export as like a jpg or soemthing. I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask, because I'm on the phone with my girlfriend and I'm kinda like a celeron...no good at multi-tasking. thanks.

Do you mean schematic 3D drawings, or 3D people/objects/scenes?

For drawings, I'd assume AutoCAD would work fairly well (never used it, but CAD probably is what you want).

For other stuff, you'd want a rendering program like Bryce, Maya, 3dsMax, Terragen, etc.

Okay. Off the phone. I saw earlier of people rendering 3d images of computer parts that they drew in a 3d program. The drew Hard Drives, CPU, CD-ROM, just a bunch of stuff...then they exported an image. They also drew fans, but had problems getting the blades to work right. I'm just wondering what is a good program that I can enter shapes and create a three-dementional image of something like my speaker or an idea I have of something I want to build. Thanks.

Probably some kind of CAD software then. I only took 1 semester of CAD in High School, and never got around to creating 3d models that were pictures, so I can't help you much However, I've seem some stuff like that here on the forums so I'm sure somebody can!
