Hey all,

I'm an aspiring designer working for a mid-sized firm in Boston, we are looking into getting more realistic renderings and I have been handed the responsibilities to do the research. I’m fluent in Rhino, Sketchup, Revit and just getting into Viz 4, (getting 06 soon)recently. The modeling functions still trouble me, but it’s coming along. So far I can get a pretty mediocre rendering out of it, but still need practice.

The ultimate question i suppose... what plugin would people recommend to be the most efficient, productive and fairly intuitive to get use to at a entry/mid level user?

issues of time, quality, user interface and so on are being considered

i realize that there are factions that will stand behind both, so any pro/cons of either will be incredibly helpful.

Also, I’ve had this question for quite a while now.. if anyone can give me a brief on it... what s the difference between Max and Viz anyhow??

Cheers to all,

this is my first post, but this site has been a tremendous help to getting me started on what seems to be a long journey to proficiency

any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated =)
