STRAT Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 i find an excellently simple renderer to use (especially compaired to viz) is cinema 4d. superb quality output with extremely user friendy interfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzy Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Simplicity all we want but what happens when you graduate ? Can you find a job with your software klnowledge ? I did the same thing as you. Max / Viz always hard to learn and hard to get a decent result. I skipped Max 3.0 and learned Lightwave 5.5, I got pretty nice results just reading its manuals. I was happy with that but I couldn't find any architectural company had lightwave. (1998-99 Turkey) Still I believe lightwave is a great software but marketing puts the rules. If I were you, take a look at the companies in your country what they use. After that easy or not learn that software. Stay on that. As a hobby learn the others.

STRAT Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 believe me, cinema 4d's render engine/materials editor is easy, compaired to viz and max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dollus Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I agree with C4D suggestions but if that is too much for you, you might want to look at FormZ. FormZ has a good percentage of former Accurender users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
