So I have this project in marketing and I kinda need some help. Can anyone post some download site for programs that helps in making a car design. I need a program that can help me design and add some features in my car project. I'm not making a real car but just making designs and add some features to it.

I know there was one I used to use in school (of course I wasn't paying attention in this class, and generally skipped it). I think it was something "inventer" maybe... maybe it was some branch of the AutoCAD series or whatever. I'll try find it.

You're not gonna learn 3dsmax in a day or two.
So if you need one quick, try blender or w/e.

id say max but it takes time to learn properly, same with maya.
blender is a free option (legally) so id say give it a try
