animation in 3ds max

[whale]

i am a student architect and i am presently tired of just doing still model and renderings... i want step up into the world of animation especially architectural animations.....

i have seen lots of walk thoughs and fly-throughs and i have even tried to get some tutorials on animation (i use 3ds max 8), but these tutorials are focused on character animations (which i dont want to venture into)....

 

So intead of being sturborn i decided to apply the knowlege i obtianed from the character tutorials into my architectural world.. but the result just doesnt come out right...... i may end up with interactive walk-throughs but its either they are of low quality, and the textures look shaby.....

 

Is there any way i can improve on this skill.......

i.e. (ARCHITECTURAL ANIMATION)
