Any good book or video tutorial or whatever out there to learn 3ds Max Architectural?

[ReneRumberg]

It is been my biggest dream ever to learn 3D art, especially 3D architecture and visualization. I've been doing some stuff already but I know that I can do better, I just need to learn. Those free source websites and videos out there are not good enough usually because they don't teach you the basics, they just say "do this now, now do that." but they are not explaining in details how to do. So I'm searching for some kind of video tutorial or ebook/book which explains Foundation of 3ds Max Architectural Visualization or something like that. Most preferably it should still be a video tutorial/study but it also can be book, but it should have illustrating pictures what are explaining "How to do this and that" in details or specifically.

Pretty much anything Brian Smith is selling (3dats.com) is 3d gold. I used his on-line video tutorial for learning V-Ray. Great stuff...
