New To CG Architecture

[XxBrianxX]

Hi there folks I'd like to introduce myself. My name is, if you havent guessed it, is Brian and I am an architecture student. My goal is to learn all the software i need to become an accomplished "CG Architect". So in beginging my journey i am going to purchase the student 3D studio MAX 6 found HERE

But i need some help... what are some other programs that would be a must to learn.

Also how did you start out and what did you have to go through to get where you are now..in your career...

Oh and if there are any educational references youd like to add that helped you in learning (books,dvd,websites .etc) please post them

 

thanks

Hi Brian,

 

Three tips:

1) RTFM!

2) Use the search-option on this forum

3) if you don't know what 1) means, try 2)
