Im also interior designer.. now doing fulltime 3d visualing for interior firms.

Somehow that is my skill right now...and I have been used by few company i work with in visualising because that is my strength.... The bad thing is... I lost experience in other aspect of Interior Design.

I might become really 3d visualizer depends on how my current career develops in the next few months.
I have a question about software+ hardware that might need you guys to help me. You guys sure will have better understanding of the software u r using.

I just bought a new machine:
Quad core2dua Q6600
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L motherboard
2gb ram (upgrade to 4gb later)
GT 8800 512mb.

I have not install any Windows yet for it.. my question is shall I use windows vista 32 bit or 64bit. because 3dsmax9 can support 64bit and im not sure will this perform better than 32bit. And will there be any problem for software running at 32bit to run in Vista 64bit
?

Help help... i hv to quickly set up my new machine to start working... (and then GAMING!~)

Here's my render.Did this for fun.Just started learning using 3dsmax 2 months ago.Any comments are much appreciated

Thank for crits,

This architectural rendering piece was done for an architectural firm. the purpose of this piece is for the architect to show the client how the interior would look like when its completed. The work is copyrighted under the name of the company i'm working at, ARC-Degrees Creative House. this piece was done by using 3DsMax with Vray. only minor touch-ups in photoshop like the contrast leveling. so, basically every lighting effect u see here was finalized in 3DsMax.

I don't know if this is the right thread to ask..(obviously nope)..
I am new with 3D and I have a few things to ask to any otai2 here..

Which application is best to use for Interior Design and to create model like human, furniture and etc?..
Please suggest me standard spec..C2D 2GB RAM with standard integrated intel graphic is ok or not?..
Lastly, anyone know any website that can help me learn 3D?..

definately processor play the role of rendering...
but since last time til now, technology does improve a lot. now graphic card can helps in rendering too. but i dont know how to set to make it render or perhaps it was preset and will auto help rendering. im not sure.
as i know graphic card are mainly use for real time display and poly count thingy.

btw wat is IDE? hmm???

Just simple one, just started.

Using Rhinoceros 3.0 + Flamingo 1.1

Wow, it's good to see an industrial designer here.     I am still a student though and just being exposed with 3D rendering this semester

HI everybody.... how can I start learning 3D artworks? Any advice??? Appreciate it

There is a short animation in CD later, if you look at the render itself, book can use better painting then 3D but the production is not 1 process to make 1 product. This is why people in this country don't understand about 3D, it can be rendered into artistic style if required and the main factor is time versus possible usage of the contents. 3D is just the tool while you can produce anything with it if you are creative and resourceful, we use the kind of software movie makers use in movie & video game, just because Asian are mostly short sighted, we are no where near such market.

The amount of time on the book are the same as painting but the re-usability is diverse, have you thought of turning the tiger into a domestic cat or modify into a lion at half the time? When people say market will improve, they generally expect some people will do it but that did not happen in 10 years, the industry who are expected to lead did not adopt the technology and today, various sector remain stagnant.

I present my personal efforts to tell the real situation, if you say 3D will be a demanding job in the future, you are those who said it in the past and they waited. Using 3D on books is overkilled but that is all the jobs available until one day there are demand from other industry, then again younger people tends to spread the wrong messages and will only learn when it comes, as for the rest, its just the corrupted practice that further hampered any such attempts.

This forum started long time ago but I don't see 3D in development, just software based renderings nor digital painting, such ashame that it is only used in archi-interior or industrial design.
