For use by Architectural Profesionals, I think the combination of AutoCad,
3dStudio and Photoshop provide the best bang for the time/money buck.
I work here in San Francisco at Kaplan McLauglin Diaz Architects (The largest
firm in S.F.) Right now I am developing an object oriented designer interface
for autocad which integrates the capabilities of the above mentioned programs.
We have been using 3dStudio VERY sucessfully as a design and presentation
tool. Renderings and animations with 3DS can be, as Michael Sechman sometimes
says, "better than the real thing". (or U2?)
In any case, if you or anyone who is interested happens to find themselves
in San Francisco, let me know an I will try to arrange a tour of what
we are currently up to. (We have recently produced some very nice digital
work)

Also, I have digital images in the form of tga/jpeg files that can
be ftp'd over internet. Perhaps a good idea would be to set up a
digital design gallery through this news group?
