Hi, Second post here, hopefully better than the first. Also, hopefully not covered extensively in another topic elsewhere....Getting my 3D printer this weekend, have Simplify3D for all of the wonderful things that it does. But it seems like (and please correct me if I'm wrong!) that Simplify3D is not a 3D design software package? So what would folks recommend for a beginner, who'd like to try their hand at 3D design? I don't mind spending a little more money on features, although I've heard there's a lot of free/open-source stuff out there. My new printer is going to be the FlashForge Creator Pro (for those curious). I'm assuming during the first few months, I'm going to be downloading, printing and slightly modifying existing models, but I'm also sure that I'm going to want to start working on modifying and creating new items soon enough. As an aside, I have the full Creative Cloud subscription, with Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm not sure if those are "recommended" for the beginning part of the design workflow (with Simplify3D being the pre-printing tweaking/slicing), but it's there if it's useful. Thoughts? I'm open to all ideas. And if there's another thread somewhere, please lead me in the right direction. Any help will be apprecited. I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Hello, A new Kickstarter launched by Crystal Wang and Abhinav Sircar aims to raise funds to put on a workshop that will allow design students to learn about augmented reality (AR) and reality virtual (VR). Called  From 2D to 3D Design: AR/VR Workshop for Designers , the goal is to help designers break into the evolving VR/AR space by giving them a chance to attend a full-day of talks and sessions. The goal of the Kickstarter is to raise the needed funds to get hold of all the equipment that is needed to run the workshop for 50 attendees. The spaces are open to students and professional designers interested in learning about emerging VR and AR technology and how to transition from 2D design to 3D design.
