Well, Blender/3DSMax would be CAD.

There always seems to be lots of 3DSMax tutorials about, I've not used it myself, so I don't know how difficult it is to get to grips with.

So much fun; figuring out how the shapes work in 3D, actually building them, materials, lighting, camera effects...

I've got about 30 models that I have given up on through either frustration or boredom, but it is nice when it all comes together.

Good luck!

Give it a go though, with the advances in technology, there is lots of demand for engineering, industrial and product design as well as video games and films. Many opportunities for making money.

It is the change in radius of a curve along its length; if you look at the "B-pillar" of your side window, it starts curved at the bottom, then straightens out at the top as the radius increases.
