  1. This was done with Autodesk's Impression.
  2. Our Design. Modeled in AutoCAD, Rendered in Max
  3. Thank you all for the comments and critiques. Shikdesign2000, I understand your comments. We are trying for a less realistic look. Prodham & Spooner04, I will try some of your thoughts, Thanks Tommy L, Thanks
  4. After 30 years in the building design business, we decided to start our web page. We will be modeling some of our designs. Model in AutoCAD, Rendered in 3DS Max.
  5. Cole, Just a thought on your question. You might want to join the local Home Builders Association in your area. Networking with other builders could help you out. Also some of the Associations have a Custom Home Builder Council. These meetings address many of the "opportunitys" you will come across. As a design firm we have memberships to several, and find them very helpful even for us.
  6. Dennis Try looking at "NotebookForms", do a google search. They talk about a large range of laptops. Most of the posters are cg people. The Sager laptop seems to be the best bang for the money.
  7. Bret, In the state of Texas that is not true. I started in building design in the 70's, and my firm is over 25 years old. We do have limits, but as far as single family it is very open. Good Luck Wanna_be
  8. I just learned about FBX. Has anyone used this for a Max model to view in Quicktime. Thanks for any info. Chaz
  9. I just heard at a meeting two day ago, that Max 8 was coming sometime in October. Also 7.5 was to ship in April.
  10. I tend to look at it another way. I don’t like the architecture (the field that that makes me money), but it shows me some thoughts to incorporate into my artwork. As far as marketing, that’s what we do. Our artwork is used to sell things to people. My artwork help sell 5000 square foot homes for only two people to live in. I don’t think they need it, but I won’t turn down the work. I enjoy marketing. I look at it for what it is. I get to see styles and flash that only the BIG dollars can pay for to create. But we need to see the dark side. As people get more accustomed to this type of marketing, it raised the bar of what people expect from us. I could go on but I don’t want to go off tract.
  11. When they ask when it will be ready I say, Do you want the truth or do you want me to lie to you ? They almost always want to be lied to.
  12. I don't know if this will work, but we use AutoCAD LT w/ Duel's and it works. Duel 21" on Matrox 650. Try going to display properties and highlight the second moniter. Check "Extend my Windows destop onto this moniter". See if that does it. Chaz
  13. If you have system restore on. Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore
  14. You can draw a polygon around each object and do area sq. ftg, in the add mode. It will show you the area and perimeter ftg. You can also join all the polygons, (modify) and total the ftg. that way. I hope this was what you wanted.
  15. Building Designer, non licensed architect. Over 30 year’s experience, of that 25 years running my own firm. We have started doing cg visualization in the past year. After seeing the reply from our clients, modeling will become part of our standard package. After all the years, the up and down, the clients, I still enjoy my work. Some thing I once read, “When you’re being compare to the competition, don’t be an apple be an orange”. Chaz
