3D Studio Max

Company / developer:
  Autodesk, Inc.

3D Studio Max

3ds Max is one of the most widely-used off the shelf 3D animation programs by content creation professionals. It has strong modeling capabilities, a flexible plugin architecture and a long heritage on the Microsoft Windows platform. It is mostly used by video game developers, TV commercial studios and architectural visualisation studios. It is also used for movie effects and movie previsualisation.

In addition to its modeling and animation tools, the latest version of 3ds Max also features advanced shaders (such as ambient occlusion and subsurface scattering), dynamic simulation, particle systems, radiosity, normal map creation and rendering, global illumination, an intuitive and fully-customizable user interface, its own scripting language and much more. There is also a plethora of specialized renderer plugins that can be bought separately, such as V-Ray, Brazil r/s , Maxwell Render, FryRender and finalRender.

Autodesk Inventor

Company / developer:
  Autodesk, Inc.

Autodesk Inventor

Autodesk® Inventor™ software is the foundation for digital prototyping. The Inventor model is an accurate 3D digital prototype that enables users to validate design and engineering data as they work, minimize the need for physical prototypes, and reduce costly engineering changes discovered after the design is sent to manufacturing. With innovative approaches to accelerate and simplify the concept-to-manufacturing process, Inventor has outsold all competitors for the sixth consecutive year.

As the creators of AutoCAD software, Autodesk understands your design process and created Inventor to make the process of adding 3D as easy as possible. Autodesk is focused on helping designers create accurate digital prototypes and bring better products to market faster at less cost. Inventor gives designers the freedom to integrate existing 2D designs into their 3D design environment, making it easy to reuse and share both AutoCAD DWG™ files and 3D design data with other Autodesk manufacturing applications and their users. With different product configurations that offer specific levels of functionality, Inventor is the best choice for AutoCAD users in the manufacturing space.

ArchiCAD

Company / developer:
  Graphisoft

ArchiCAD

ArchiCAD gives users the ability to create great architecture and increase productivity. From day one, ArchiCAD has been designed by architects for architects, and over the years it has gradually become more and more refined to allow its users to better:

• Focus on design,
  
• Manage change,
  
• Evaluate design alternatives,
  
• Collaborate,
  
• Coordinate.

ArchiCAD® offers a different approach to your workflow process, which gives you more control over your design, while maintaining accuracy and efficiency in documentation. While you raise walls, lay floors, add doors and windows, build stairs and construct roofs this Building Information Authoring Tool creates a central database of 3D model data. From this you can extract all the information needed to completely describe your design - complete plans, sections and elevations, architectural and construction details, Bills of Quantities window/door/finish schedules, renderings, animations and virtual reality scenes. That means while you're designing, ArchiCAD is creating all the project documentation so there's little repetitive and tedious drafting work. And unlike designing in 2D software, the Virtual BuildingTM approach also means that you can make changes at any time maintaining the integrity of your documents, without risking costly errors or costing you productivity.
