3Ds max vs blender in Architectural Visualization

3 d max animation tooo

o blender entrega pra um software grátis mas o 3ds é impressionante de tão eficaz no quesito realismo extremo , é muito chocante o nível de detalhes.

Sorry, your vids are mostly useless. You don't even do them yourselves, just mix from different sources. Shame

please make a video on blander and auto cad

No one considers the size of the Software installation . 3D Max is 10+ times heavy than Blender. Just see what it does to your CPU, GPU, RAM,....! The reason why the word 'pro' is used for 3D Max!!

I use both at my office. I work as a Civil Designer and on simple, small project, I stick to blender. No hesitation. On bigger project I will use a combination of both. 3ds Max can read various file formats so big win there when working with other disciplines. I will use blender for modelling simple model, but will use 3ds Max for the more advanced one. I really like the "edit poly" modifier in 3ds Max, and really wish blender had this modifier as well, but on the other hands, blender can do geo nodes, wish is much more friendly than Max equivalent! I found both softwares struggle with real world coordinates, but being use to working with a Revit team, there are ways to fix this problem easily anyway so not an issue. I does look like blender can handle it a little bit better though. For texturing and animation, I prefer blender. I like the simple UV interface of blender and manipulation cameras is also a breeze. Plus blender can do the video editing as well. For water animation, I prefer 3ds Max. I find the fluid animation tools in Max much more powerful! I can never get the fluid to behave the way I want in blender for some reason. For presentation/live session, I often go with blender. I like the simple tools to enable walking around your model and the software is really quick to launch compare to 3ds Max. Sharing a model is quiet easy as well with blender using the FBX file format, or sometimes just .blend files as well! Anyone can download blender for free so anyone can ready a .blend file! Blender recently got an asset manager but I still have a preference for the asset tracker of max. It can read various file format, check history and has a check-in/check-out system. Anyway honestly you can't go wrong with both. My preference is still blender because there is so much development in the recent month and more and more features are added to blender. I recon it has a lot of potential and deserves a seat at the big boy table

I vote for 3ds Max any day anytime

This is a weird and seemingly biased comparison...
I keep saying "Blender can do that too", when 3ds max is described...
Also, saying that blender is for small companies, and hobbyists, and 3ds max is for pros, is absolutely ridiculous.

Lux Core for Blender is actually an amazing rendering engine and much faster than Cycles. Cycles is fantastic however, if you know how to optimize properly. I'd say both 3ds max and Blender can both output amazing quality Archviz, but I love Blender's modular UI. Blender 3.0 is looking to be pretty solid, and I am just now learning about ACES workflow.

Me an interior design student chose to learn blender, although the school teaches us 3ds max and sketchup.
I was a pretty good sketchup user but I decided to go with blender for school projects now. SU seems like an incomplete software, everything you want to do requires some kind of plugin. I was amazed my the modelling capabilities of blender and how easy it is to model plants and high poly mesh. In sketchup it is nearly impossible. But sketchup is good for interior design since it doesn't require too much complexity.
I don't know much about 3ds max that's why I'm here. But to me it seems both blender and 3Ds max are more than enough for interior and Architectural visualizations. The difference is really not in the software but the skills of the user.

What does rendering have to do with Blender vs Max? It should be a comparison between Cycles vs Arnold. If it's just about which tool to use to model architecture, it's Blender all the way, modelling in Blender is at least 3 times faster. When it comes to Cycles vs Arnold for architecture rendering i have no clue. Arnold is amazing but in general pretty slow.

I'm thinking of buying chocofur archviz course and start learning. I'm a civil engineer student, so I think learning archviz will be useful. Which software do u think I should invest on? I know basics of blender already (completed 2.8 launchpad course) .

Your choice blender or 3ds max for Architecture quality render?...

Rendering high resolution images in blender is a hurdle without investing in high end graphic cards and systems.or using cloud services..also there is no network render manager which makes final renderings a huge task as per my experience...rest blender is beautiful in every way and getting better each day
