3D Studio has one of the most powerful modelers in the visualization business.
It's not built for making blueprints, but for 3D vis projects it's EXTREMELY
flexible.
Plus, as soon as you see the renderer in R3, you'll realize that you'd be
insane if you got any other package. (oops.. I better shut up)
The ATI card will allow you to render to 24-bit images… no problem.
