Architectural CAD

This are the line-up of programs I plan to use, Ive know how to use all except Autodesk 3dsMax...so if this line-up will be good, I plan to study the interface of 3dsMax..

1st : Autodesk AutoCAD - for layout of plans, section, elevation etc
2nd : Google SkecthUp- for the 3d modeling
3rd : Autodesk 3ds Max - for the application of materials on 3d and rendering
4th : Adobe Photoshop CS4 - for the background, shots and scenery editing.

Hope you will help me for my thesis presentation. Suggestions and comments ?

autocad & 3dsmax is enough to do architectural presentation.
if u want some post process for exposure, try lightroom 3.0

goodluck for your thesis!
break a leg!

astig,,,, dami mo naman alam dude

tingin ko po kasi mas madali sa Sketch-Up kesa sa 3ds Max mag massing kaya yung application ng materials saka rendering of scene sa Max na lang..

Yup, tama ang process mo. I-master mo ang skethup, madali nalang yan gawin sa max later. As for your thesis. Do everything in sketchup. Good Luck!

Thank you po. Any suggest tutorial sites for 3ds mAx specialize in application of materials and rendering?
