CGarchitect.com - View Single Post - which program is usefull for modeling architecture and import to 3d max?

The problem with Rhino is that it can do great geometry, but if the desire is to use animation tools to do parametric modeling, Rhino fails miserably. That's why I asked what kind of modeling - if the answer is "I want to model things with curves and have very good manual control of the curature and make clean geometry from them" then, Rhino. If it's "I've got this here vector field and I want to track particle movement through it to generate some whimsical forms" that's a whole different game.
