Bruce: Please tell me a little more about your firm! Do you do a lot of animations or mostly still-imaging? Do you have any samples of your work posted on the Autodesk forums? Would you like to share models and images? I am starting a small visualization business down here in San Juan, PR with the help of a bunch of architecture students and I would like to know how an Architecture firm adapts 3D Studio to their working environment. Strangely enough it has not happened yet in PR. Only a few firms have copies of 3DS and most of them are just sitting in shelves. Maybe with a little help I can change this. . . Rafael

Rafael: We're a 30 year old firm based here in Toronto, with offices in Montreal, Vancouver and Shanghai. A lot of our recent work has been overseas, (Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, Jakarta,…) >>Would you like to share models and images?<< Because of my employment agreement, I do not own the rights to any of my work so "sharing" is a no-no <frown> I may be able to upload some images some later and if I do I'll let you know. >>…I would like to know how an Architecture firm adapts 3D Studio to their working environment<< I know that here, the key issue is deadlines. My involvment is usually in the proposal phase and by the time I get the information I need about the project, we're usually extremely tight for time. And that doesn't mean they still won't change the design when I'm half way through, either <g>. It means I don't have the luxury of tweaking and planning my model, but rather I have to fire-fight and work on-the-fly a lot. Sticking close to the designer and pestering him\her with questions is important. Good luck with your business in PR! Sounds like you could have a lot of fun. Bruce Meikle
