DESCRIPTION
I wanted to make this video because I get a lot of questions about what software to use for archviz, and I also get a lot of people claiming that the way I do things is not the best way. Well, In this video I am going to make my case for why I think those people are wrong. I will give you 5 things about 3ds Max that make it great for archviz, and also makes it THE BEST overall software for archviz in general. Yes, I teach and use other software as well, but Autodesk's 3ds Max has always been my core software. Even if my end result is coming out of Lumion, Twinmotion, Unreal Engine, etc., I still use 3ds Max in some way on every project. Others find Blender or SketchUp to be just as useful, but I am going to make my case for 3ds Max. I think there are some things that set it apart from all the other software out there. I would love to know what you think too. What is your go to or core archviz software that is the base of everything you do?
Thanks for watching!

DESCRIPTION
A few days ago, Epic Games announced that RealityScan, the powerful photogrammetry application, is now available for Android devices, making it accessible to an even wider audience of creatives. This free-to-download app brings the world of high-fidelity 3D modeling right to your fingertips!
With RealityScan, all you need is your Android smartphone or tablet to create breathtaking 3D models. Simply capture multiple pictures of an object, and let RealityScan work its magic. The app intelligently stitches the images together, transforming them into stunning, realistic 3D models. Its like having a portable scanner in your pocket!
One of the standout features of RealityScan is its seamless integration with Sketchfab, the leading platform for sharing and discovering 3D content. Once youve created your masterpiece, you can easily export it to Sketchfab. Showcase your creations to the world or harness them for other applications like Unreal Engine or Twinmotion.
Whats more, exporting your models to Sketchfab is completely free. As a bonus, when you upload your first model, youll receive a complimentary one-year upgrade to Sketchfab Pro, unlocking additional features and benefits. This gives you the perfect opportunity to explore the full potential of your architectural visualization projects.
The latest release of RealityScan introduces a range of improvements to enhance your scanning experience. The streamlined user interface and intuitive workflows make navigating the app a breeze. Notable enhancements include:
A new step-based workflow guides you through the scanning process, allowing you to backtrack and make adjustments whenever necessary.
Managing your project library is easier than ever. Quickly locate and remove unconnected images, or effortlessly add new ones to enhance your models.
Thanks to the embedded Sketchfab viewer, you can now preview your final model within the app. This feature allows you to fine-tune the details before sharing your creation with the world.
Take advantage of the ability to add and edit names and descriptions for your projects. These details are automatically synchronized with Sketchfab, ensuring a seamless experience.
To enjoy the wonders of RealityScan on your Android device, make sure you have an ARCore-compatible phone or tablet. Alternatively, if youre an iOS user, youll need an iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 and above.
Hopefully this breakdown and tutorial is useful for you.
