Hello! New member here + a few questions :)

Hello!

 

I've been looking at this forum for a while now and decided to finally become a member. Your topics have helped me in the past so much, so why not be able to discuss my questions, right?

 

I'm a mechanical engineer student who ended up in architecture. I'm slowly getting to know many programs and I must say I'm pretty impressed by a lot of them.

 

If I combine licenses for programs I got in school and the ones I have at work I think I have a pretty big chance to pick something and start learning even more. I don't have enough money for professional courses, so most of my learning is done home after hours.

 

Recently, I've come across some visualizations I liked, and I wanted to present one for my boss of the current apartment building we're designing at work.

 

So I'm asking you, if you could help me. I want to achieve something looking like this:

 

 

And then later, maybe like this:

 

 

 

 

Since I have so many programs at available, I'm literally lost with my choices.

So I was wondering you would help me decide on which program would make something closest to the first image, and then, I guess, from that to second one?

 

 

Thank you a lot for reading this long first post.

I really am happy to finally be here
