Which 3D (3ds max, Maya, Form Z, Vizmax, Sketch Up, Rhino) is more useful in interior design?

I use Autocad now but these 3d softwares add more effects to my subjects. I have only seen 3ds Max and Maya in bookstores’ manuals and the rest I only hear from other designers. Which one is for of the “all-around” and flexible? Or at least I have to learn first.. I know there are differences in renderings and animation between Maya and Max – as I browsed through the net, but the rest, I can’t find much where people talk about them.. What are they?

I’m a building designer. I use Autocad Architectural or Revit Architectural for working drawings, Sketchup for massing studies and preliminary work (All around best) then I export the 3d out for rendering in 3DS max. If more of a visualization is required than a rendering then Sketchup (easiest to use) cant be beat. rendering plug-ins (some of them free) make quick work of quality designs. In my opinion Maya, Max and even Rhino are alot more than you will need right away. If you need to pull your hair out right away then Maya (geared more for media and entertainment) is the best hands down. Next 3DS Max Design (high end architectural visualization). Wanna model and animate the next Shrek? Then Maya. Wanna pull rabbits out of your designer hat? Then Sketchup.

Interior Design And Decoration Courses
online interior design / decoration degree?

I’m interested in online interior design/decoration degree ( 1 year) I have never taken any online courses, and am very hesitant to just go for any.Currently though my only option is online. Please advice me on the best online interior design degree which I can do from any part of the world ( ie. middle east) You’re answers would help me out so much! I really wanna do this and I want to do it with the best option in hand.

Here are some places you can get a degree online – I do not think any of them are one year programs and don’t know if any quality program can be finished in one year. You should also be aware that different places have different laws about what kind of training and certification you need to practice design. some places may have educational requirements as well as passing tests.

Good luck with your studies.

Get Interior Design Jobs
Any tips on getting a job in interior design?

I have no clue how to go about it, I’ll definitely do research on my own but where are the best places to look for jobs in interior design, especially home interior design? Also is it absolutely necessary to have an art or interior design degree to get this kind of job?
I actually meant interior decorator (ones that make things look pretty with out the engineering lol

This might help you:

Many states require those calling themselves interior designers to be licensed (interior design degree, apprentice, and passing a nasty exam) while most anyone can call themselves an interior decorator, just as anyone can call themselves an artist.

Probably the best place to look for a job would be a furniture store, but since the economy is so bad right now, finding any job will be difficult.

Interior Design Macbook
is the macbook pro good for the interior design course?

i am going to the interior design program at humber college and i need to know if it’s right for my program. sheridan college recommended me the pro if i wanted a apple computer, but that’s from one school’s perspective and humber is a little different i think.

Mac > PC…. On a mac you can install Windows.. If you need it
