Anyone using Shade?

I am an ID in Japan, and all of our modeling here is done with Shade.

Thinking about moving back to the US, and I was wondering if anyone is using Shade (in schools, companies)? If not, what CG/modeling programs should I brush up on before looking for work in the US?

Thanks!

Rhino 3D and SolidWorks or Alias and Pro-E

Good luck!

i don’t think any designers actually use proE. at least not in the us.

a ton of designers use pro/E in the US, especially when it comes to surfacing in a parametric environment. check out ISDX, their advanced surfacing module.

I know many IDs in the USA who use Pro-E.

I use Rhino and Alias most
