Welcome Muhammad!

Welcome Jonathan, good to see another Melbournian here.

Hi, I've searched for similar topics but didn't find the info I need. I'm preparing some shadow study diagrams in Max and was wondering if any OZ user out there knows which North (True North, Mapping Grid of Australia North, etc) Max uses. Because the shadow study could end up in court hearing, this is vital info for me. Thanks very much.

Yeah I've heard SOM bought something like 100 licences but didn't know they're ditching Revit. A license in Australia costs around 23K (approx. 21K US). We've tried Revit on a couple of projects but found it too slow (almost impractical for design study purposes). I know that's not what BIM software is designed for, but my early research tells me Digital Project is our best bet. Thanks

Hi I'm interested in hearing people's experiences with GT Digital Project as a design study tool. We're looking for a BIM software that has a strong design toolset. Our office do a lot of design studies (facade, form, etc), and currently we're using Max for that because it's very quick for us to see results. But we also want to be able to extract information out of our 3D models for fabricators and engineers. How is it different to...say Revit or ArchiCad (apart from the capability to create complex geometries)? Thanks

I'd like to know where the Dual dual Xeon (woodcrest) fit in. Are the dual core xeons the the same as the core 2 dual? Peter

Hi I'd like to hear people's experience with attempts at creating renders that emulate physical models. Materials perhaps in foam, cardboard, perspex, etc. Peter

There's an update on Maxon's site for C4D 9

Hi Shawn, I think the problem could be the position of your origin in Archicad. Try moving the origin to 0,0

Hi, I'm using a very wide angle lens (115deg) in one of my view and things at the ends of the image are quite distorted. Does anyone know of a script or method of doing a wide angle view without the distortion? Thanks

Thanks Strat.

Excellent, thanks for your input guys. Strat, in your opinion, you think it's better than rpc's animated people? I know the price is.

Hi all, Has anyone used Marlin Studio's People n'Motion libraries? Like to hear your experience since we're thinking of getting it. Thanks. Peter

what about Tree Storm Professional. I've used it for a few animations and worked well. http://www.onyxtree.com/
