what is ...Viz

I've heard folks mention Viz on here on occasion ....I understand it to be a
rendering program...? I just accepted a position with an architect and
noticed it on one of his computers at work - how can I use it with Revit?

Viz can import your Revit model (with materials) to produce photo-realistic
renderings and walkthroughs.
How easy the import is depends on what version of Revit you are using.

It is a watered down (or at least with some capabilities left out) version of 3d studio max. Fun, strong rendering program.

I tried Max some years ago...it was actually more than my diminutive cortex
wanted to absorb at the time. Sounds cool though, can't wait to give it a
try...wasn't entirely pleased with Revit's rendering capabilities.

I use 3D studio VIZ and 3D Studio Max. 3D Viz isn't watered down at all,
it is targeted towards architecure and Max is targeted towards animation. I
import my Revit model and use the built in layer manager... works great
together. I import my revit model by exporting it out of Revit as a DWG or
3DS and importing into VIZ/Max. VIZ/Max has a huge learning curve so if you
want to get godo be prepaired to invest a lot of time.

Thanks Mike, I'm using 8.1 for now....will up to 9.0 as soon as I'm done the
current project. I assume the newer, the better?

It was precisely that learning curve and the thought of spending most of my
waking hours staring at a monitor that turned me off of pursuing it the
first time. But I just did that with Revit and have enjoyed the process.
Right now I have a nice balance of CAD work and site stomping....but I my
creative/artistic side yearns for an outlet.....basket weaving perhaps? ummm
no. I'll probably take the plunge into Viz this time.

9.0 has some big improvements and worth the upgrade...
