Reply To: Are (or were) 3ds Max and Rhino a part of your LA curriculum?

i am a third year undergrad LA and i can say not many people in our studio use it. although we did have a class that taught us digital representation (sketchup, 3ds max, illustrator, photoshop, indesign). if you have your line work done correctly drawn, meaning closed splines in autocad, and everything in seperate layers, then you can build a model and render in and hour an a half give or take a few minor adj. i did this for a studio project using 3ds in about 6 hours from linework to finished render and diagram.
