Hi Urmila,

Be sure to check out Googlegroups:

Also ASLA should have a list of recommended readings.

We should stay in touch. I’m writing Section 2 in August.

Cheers!

Thanks to everyone for their feedback.

I see that Rhino is used more for modelling while 3ds Max is used for rendering and animation. Since my interest leans toward the rendering side of things, it seems to point to 3ds Max. However, it also makes me wonder if I should just spend more time with SketchUp and learn rendering plugins like V-Ray, Shaderlight + Twilight.

With that said, I would agree with the comment that it’s important to be conversant with various tools – so exposure to either Rhino or 3ds Max wouldn’t hurt the resume and adds to my experience.

Cheers!

Fast forward to 2013.

I’ve just finished my MLA degree at the University of Guelph (great school!)

I have AutoCAD (2D+3D), SketchUp and Vectorworks. So I ask the same question….Rhino or 3DS Max to start?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jared,

I know exactly what you mean. Here I found the book you already referenced helpful. Here are some others from my Site Grading class course list.

Hope it helps,

cheers,
