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.

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.

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.

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