If working with a friend, it may be worthwhile using Silo (at a higher cost) as you can better communicate.
3D Brush is a bit more problematic in saving to a suitable file type. Really only .obj. |

How is it out of line to talk about Rhino? The question was asked in the first post whether to use Nurbs (Blender) or polys for such a project. I am not sure about the Nurbs modeling abilities of Blender. So i think it is appropriate to make suggestions on what software might be used to get the best results. Rhino is powerful in this type of surface modeling...
Also i don't recall any budgetary constraint being mentioned. CAM software itself is more expensive than most low-budget Nurbs modelers...
