>> Autovision vs. Accurender or anything else? What Cd's are available… The answer you are most likely to get from members of this forum is 3D Studio. As a complete 3D modeling and animation package, it will fit your needs extremely well. As far as I know, Autovision and Accurender produce decent stills and walkthrus, but for "real" animation (turning fans, opening doors, setting sun, lens effects) 3DS is the only way to go. CD's? Check out Autodesk's Texture Universe, Ketiv's Blocks and Materials for starters. Books? If you opt to go with 3DS there are TONS of books available at the major chains. Look for the Tips & Tricks series, 3DS Applied, and Inside 3DS. – Dave
