Hello What's the best softwares in each subjest of modelling and rendering.I have heared that Rhino is good for modelling and Alias Image is good for rendering.Please suggest me the best 3d designing softwares.
If your goal is Surface Modeling depends on what level of accuracy you are looking for. Conceptual design to production-ready technical surfacing. I assume you are familiar with all the advanced features of the following programs and very comfortable to use each though they are not the easiest to learn or to use. IMO you must consider these programs:
1- Alias AutoStudio all-round surface modeling from concept to class-A production-ready surfaces with a decent Rendering engine
2- UGS Imageware for best performance technical surfacing with highest accuracy and best surface quality analysis and evaluation tools and capable of handling large files others have problem dealing with but no rendering
3- Rhino 4.0 very good modeler with some unique tools and features but not a replacement for high-end programs yet.
4- UGS NX (Unigraphics) best high-end surface/solid hybrid modeler a must for production phases. Second to none but only Catia. Using Lightwork rendering engine.
5- Maya for conceptual visualization nothing to beat its speed for quick concept modeling using all the best Polygon/Subdiv modeling tools and decent Nurbs toolsets and unique Subdiv to Nurbs conversion ability. And with one of the best rendering and effects features in the industry.
6- And of course the well proven 3ds Max for rendering using Mental Ray or one of those available excellent rendering plug-ins
They may be better programs too others may want to mention.
Salam Az rahnamayieh shoma motshakeram.Dar moredeh UGS ta behal chizi nashnideh budam.Albatteh beh nazareh man masalan misheh kolleh marhaleyeh modelling ro dar Rhino anjam badam va rendering ro beh ohdeyeh yek softwareh digeh bezaram.
Rhino is the cheapest of all those mentioned earlier and in version 4.0 rendering has been improved too and it's a good modeler. You may consider Flamingo (I have not tried it though!) or entry level of Softimage/XSI, Cinema 4D, or Maya Complete for rendering if you don't plan to invest too much by using 3ds Max or Softimage Advanced. Brazil and Vray also have plug-ins for Rhino for quality rendering too.
Alias ImageStudio also does a good job for rendering.
Another advanced visualization software is Patchwork3D from Lumiscaphe.
