Need to produce a 3d model of a studio camera - what software?

[RandomTom]

Hi there,

I need to help with making a model for a studio camera to be able to import into After Effects.

The end product will be a fly through video around the camera within a 3D room done on After Effects..

Sorry for being so dense, just want to know what programme is best to use - CAD or something like Blender? It only needs to be relatively low poly, and simple. Thanks for any help.

Only CAD software i have used is Solidworks, was very good maybe worth checking out

Solidworks would probably work but the polygons could be quite high. I personally would also say its a product modeller (ie camera's, plastic models etc) rather than a character modeller (like randomtom's sig image).

I would personally say blender might be the way to go, 3ds max would probably be my choice but considering its not cheap and blender should manage the task anyways.

Explain a bit more about the product as it might be better to do it in solidworks (although this is definitely not a cheap product)
