Revit Tip - Architectural Visualization Workflow with 3D Max and Revit 2013

I found this link on my Facebook news feed for the Autodesk Education Community and thought it was so good I had to share. The material was created by Marvi Basha, and Autodesk Student Expert.  If you have not explored the connection between Autodesk Revit and 3D Max 2013 this is where to start....

Revit Tip - Render Farm (Tocci)

Here is another great little write up over at John Tocci's blog:

For a variety of reasons I won’t delve into, this past week we found myself without access to my Revit & Navisworks licenses… aside from answering emails, workflow documentation and re-organizing my office space, I decided the Gilbane’s west coast VDC group should give 3D Studio Max Design & a home-grown render farm a shot.


Using the 30 day trials, we managed to put together some basic models, teach ourselves the Backburner Server/Manager/Monitor nomenclature, and scavenge up some computers to steal CPU cycles from.


Long story short? We were able to render a 1,200 frame animation in about 4.5 hours while having a zero loss of productivity on our main workstations.

The post is followed by a list f linked PDF workflow ideas for Revit to 3D Max to render farming...  Great information!
