I've been asked to demonstrate what it might look like, roughly, to drive along an existing street and see new 5-7 story buildings on either side of the road. I've been playing with 3ds Max Design but typically I'm a Civil 3D guy creating surfaces and survey data. The learning curve seems reasonable but my deadline is in 8 days.
My question is two-fold:
Because rendering materials is not necessarily a priority (although it would a nice detail) would I be better off trying to create the buildings in Civil 3D and using the "drive" feature or should I try to solve this with 3ds?
Is there a way to export the "drive" video from Civil 3D so that it can be viewed as part of a presentation? Perhaps a .wma file or similar?
We are using '14 products.
Thanks in advance for any advice/direction.
Matt
