Digital Architectural Design

imagine-z · March 9th, 2005

I am interested in a discussion about ways of modifying animation software (tools, user-interface, techniques, methods …) for the early design phases in architecture.
Does anybody know other sites, projects or forums about digital architectural design?

I don't know another forums, but i'm a designer architect, i use a lot ADT an 3d VIZ for creating shapes and boxes for design buildings, i use Rhino too because is a hell of a modeller, if you are interesed in software for early design, you shoul try Architectural studio, as well as sketchup, i don't have used them, but i heard that they are good...

I didn´t find Architectural Studio in the productline of Autodesk. Is it part of Architectural Desktop? So it is just another CAD-Tool....!?
Do you know architecture firms working with this software in the early design phases?
I´m interested in programms for design (use of computer in design) tested in "real life". The only one i know is animation software like maya, 3dsmax, ....! In my opinion this software has a great potential for architectural design. But it has to be be modified (or specialized) for architecture.

Actually VIZ (as 3dsviz) is the architectural version of 3d Max, as i told you earlier, i work with ADT (creating mass elements, boxes, etc...) and with 3dViz... 3dsviz has the same render quality as MAX and is based on the same architecture, think of VIZ as a lite version of MAX, and developed for architects...

3dsViz is designed for visualization and not for digital design. In my opinion it is a post production tool. I am looking for 3d-programmes used in the early design phases. Actually i am looking for 4d programs (animation-software). Time is a recent factor for a possible design interaction between man and machine.

Have you tried Sketchup from @Last Software?
