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. . .

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 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.
