Hi there,
I am soon to start the 3rd year of my undergraduate Architecture degree and I would like some advice on what visualisation software would best suit my needs for this year.
I am hoping to get into the visualisation profession when I am finished, so I would really like to boost my portfolio with some quality renders from my final year.
I am currently considering purchasing a v-ray license for Revit, as the Revit software is most familiar with me. However, after watching lots of videos I have come to realise that maybe v-ray in Revit is quite basic compared to sketchup+v-ray or 3dsmax+v-ray.
To achieve the quality results I am after, Which of these software combinations would you recommend and why?
Things to consider:
Can models from Revit be imported straight into 3dsmax or sketchup for rendering/visualisation purposes??
What is the general work flow for creating amazing visuals? (i.e. Revit --> Sketchup --> Vray = final visual??)
Will any of these softwares freak out if I imported a parametric geometry and tried applying material etc?
Which is easier to learn?
Which combination is more impressive to have on a Cv or portfolio?
I know this is a lot for a newbie ask, but I would really appreciate the advice from some of the forums experienced members.
Thanks in advance
