Ive been practicing for past three mounts or so (with online tutorials )..... I know its still super early for me to expect mastering a huge programme like max but it thought maybe rhino is a better way to go as probably most of my clients will be architecture students who dont know any 3d software and i have to make a 3d model based on some sketches and stuff .....! and rhino seems to be better suited for quick projects.

hi scott....thank u for your replay. i think you mentioned a point that i was missing ( import / export issue ). but based on my googling and having some experience with both softwares i dont see why do you say that the modeling process is faster in max ?? and especially why the geometry is cleaner in it ? models created in rhino really seem solid and clean ...at least compared to my models created in max

ok thank u again for your time....

no ! why ?? it will help me to be more pro in modeling and visualization and especially it will help me make some money to pay for my university and stuff.

thank u for your replay chris...yes i want to be an architect but i need to model and render my own designs and maybe other architects designs for making money. and i know that 3ds is the best in terms of rendering and visualization and i will still use it for those purposes if i decide to make my models in rhino... but my Q was that witch of the two is best suited for architectural Modeling ? thank u again

hey guys... Im an architecture student and iwant to work as a 3d modeler and visualizer... for that purpose I'v tried to learn 3ds max as an all-rounder (BTW i know how to use autocad-sketchup-photoshop and a bit of vray ) but the problem is although i've put considerable amount of time on learning 3ds max i still dont seem to get comfortable with it ...! i mean modeling almost everything is full of problems . so i thought maybe i should start learning rhino and model everything in it and then export it to max for rendering with vray...... so what do you think ?? is rhino really more handy and easy to use ?? is it suitable for regular architecture ( i mean like modeling a normal apartment or a minimalistic villa ) or is it just best for organic shapes and stuff like that ?? and what about interior design ?? does it have the right tools for modeling small details and decorative stuff ?? what about elevation design ?? and finally does rendering an exported rhino file (exported with npower plugin ) in max affects the rendering time ? Thank U so so much for your time....and pls give a complete answer )

hi everyone ! I'm a beginner in 3ds max and I've recently finished basic interior / exterior modeling with online tutorials and massing around with it...now my question is as i already know that I will use Vray for rendering should i still put quite a time on learning 3ds max built in materials ,lights, cameras and rendering stuff..?? or should i start learning every thing in Vray..? I mean is Vray a replacement for these functions or an enhancement..?? sorry if my Q is silly

thank u so much for your reply. yes i decided to go with max for now and maybe learn revit later on...

Hey guys....Im new here :oan ..! Im an architecture student and i want to start learning 3d modeling / rendering seriously ..! so far I've learned autocad , photo shop and sketch up and I'm a beginner in Rhino. now my question is witch software should i choose if i want to turn architectural 3d modeling / rendering into a career for myself...? these are the 2 ways I've come up with based on my goggling.. 1) start learning 3ds max and make my models in it and then render them with V-ray. 2) use Rhino as modeler and then export my model into Cinema 4d (with Rhino io plugin )and render it there with V-ray for cinema 4d. i also need to learn archicad or revit...so if i go with option 1 i will pick revit and if i go with 2 ill pick archicad (because of easier exporting in cinema 4d..) so guys pls help me choose ... what are the advantages and disadvantages of each..??? and BTW money is not an issue because i get student discount ... thank U so much for your time
