I took drafting back in the late 70's before all the Computers came out and I also studied Art all kinds. But everything was drawn out nothing on Computer's till it was time to copy your work on a copy machine. Yes it took for ever to do and you had to know all your matereals as well. I ended up going in to the service and becoming a Army Sniper. Then in later years a truck driver. Now that I am older I want to go back to my first love of architecture and start taking classes. I need to know what classes I need as well as programs to study for this new age. Funny thing is a guy I used to go to all my art classes with back in the day went in to the FX market of movies and became very successful. Working on Avatar, FX, Jurassic park and other movies. I guess I should have stayed in classes with him, Christopher Swift. LOL!!! But this video show'd me some good programs to look in to anyway so that maybe I can start working from home since I am retired now. Thanks again Great Video. Kurt Vara
I went to school in Detroit for undergrad and then abroad to Poland for my master's. Rhino was heavily used in Poland alongside Archicad which is another BIM software (I prefer this so much more over Revit). I chose to attend the Polish school because they were known for doing a lot of grasshopper and intricate formwork, so in two years I became well versed in parametric design. In both schools professors did not encourage students to use Revit (until your 4th year maybe) and Sketchup for good reasons such as Revit is too clunky and limits creativity a lot of the time and sketchup doesn't really produce drawings just models (you can't use it for documentation). Sorry for rambling, I thought that I should add my two cents ;)
Will disagree on the "Sketchup not used for documentation" side of things. I know some architects who use Sketchup as BIM and Documentation (with Layout) software with a bit of knowledge with Ruby & some of them even make construction drawings faster than those who use BIM.
Great choice of software. Grasshopper is one of the most fun to play with. And instead of Maya, I love to use Blender 3D, because it is capable of so much, there are tons of addons and tutorials online and the best thing is, it is free. Archicad is also a great choice beside Revit, both have the strongs and weaknesses. :)
Alfred State College in Alfred, NY teaches Revit as a required class. The professor for it is the Revit master. Studio doesn't require one specific software, but Revit seems to be the favorite because you may get a free license if you're a student. I like Revit, but it has some limitations. I still enjoy. I also use Fusion 360 for modeling furniture and custom pieces. Fusion 360 is free for everyone! I have never used Rhino. Is it comparable to Fusion and SketchUp? Dynamo is a Revit Plugin like Grasshopper. I like Dynamo, and I really wanna get to learn more.
Thanks for the video! I have a question, I graduated Architecture in 2020, I'm currently using 3ds max for modeling & revit for plans only. I'm planning on moving to the US, my question is what softwares do you recommend to practice architecture in the US?? Thanks!!
There is this baby that I ve used all my life called GRAPHISOFT ARCHICAD and I export to 3DSMAX or LUMION PRO. am behind or am good. I also know autocad but I use it for electrical installation illustration s
Hi Your video is very informative. More I still need to know about what is more best software for timber work like manufacturing doors windows staircase and much more wood work Thanks n keep going
thank you for this post! is there a software(s) you would recommend for someone looking to specialize in using a software to create stairs (sorry if my question seems silly lolll )
how about affinity photo ? it's way cheaper than Photoshop because you don't need to pay periodically subscription and it's available in apps store for 20 bucks for a lifetime.
Ive never personally heard of affinity photo. I will say Photoshop is the standard and Adobe somewhat has a monopoly on the entire software world. Haha but because it is the standard, it is probably best to know the software - as any other firm probably won't be interested in that you know "affinity photo" - just because Photoshop is really just the standard
Do you have to be a very artistic person to be an architect? Another part of that is do you have to have skills in drawing/painting to excel in architecture?
You don't have to be artistic! Painting and all that stuff is not required haha but you should like being creative! Trying to answer design problems with creativity is going get you through school!
A lot of people in my course aren't super artistic, and you'll learn whatever drawing skills you need. The unis might ask for a portfolio though but you can show them product design work instead of artwork. At least in the UK unis are like that.
I come from egypt, and as an arch student lots of ppl use cracked versions of many of those, so I've been wandering if this is the case elsewhere, bc some of those programs are so expensive for a fresh grad that I can't think of a way a fresh grad would start working from 0$$ in their pocket cuz the start itself costs a lot of money
@@diana.niki. yes but only for educational purposes and not even competitions are allowed. What I'm mainly saying is the cost of these programs once one finishes college but doesn't have a financial kickstart or sth.
Wicked video! Thanks for all the awesome info. But, why are you talking like you about to cry the entire time? And holy shit theirs a fire on your desk.
Hey there I've been following your videos, you give helpful information concerning architecture. Am a 6th semester architecture student. Do you mind becoming my friend?
You won't find any architecture in any software. Architecture is an art which you have to evolve in your brain, by learning basics of sculpture, visual tension, composition, texture, lighting and most importantly: descriptive geometry. First, you had to have AutoCAD, now you have to have Revit (it should be called Rivet), tomorrow it will be something else with which, they will try to pull the money, out of your pocket. If you are a student on a limited budget, all you need is LibreCAD for 2d drawings and descriptive geometry, Blender for 3d modelling and rendering and finally GIMP for turning renderings into painterly or photo-real magic. These 3 programs are totally free. To be good in architecture, you have to be able to do conceptual design, which has nothing to do with software. So the ding dong in this video is describing software for millionaire architecture students, who will wind up selling phones, anyway.
Oh and one more thing I wanted to add, you NEED AutoCAD for being a Civil Engineer (My dad is one). I've seen him work for hours on that, and so it probably isn't close to being irrelevant in 2021 after all
Thankk you SO MUCH for adding this comment !! this is really important for other students to see - THANK YOU! I should've mentioned this but I was just so focused in on just architecture lolol
Agreed, Autocad is still used heavily by Civil engineers and by Landscape Architects. But you are correct about it being old. I took my first course on Autocad in 1985. The lessons were on VCR tape cassettes.
What architecture software is your favorite?

I'll stick to Revit and Rhino

Revit+lumion is perfect chain for an architect )
Enscape is king 👑

Chief Architect, Sketchup, AutoCAD, Twinmotion, primarily residential design.
Really helpful video and i love it and hey new subscriber here!!
Thank you welcome!!
Hi
Your video is very informative. More I still need to know about what is more best software for timber work like manufacturing doors windows staircase and much more wood work
Thanks n keep going
12:03 There's another one that starts with an 'e', but the name escapes me. She legit was so close to saying Enscape. 😂
This was very helpful info. Thx.
I am newbie and learning blender but it is very hard. Should I keep using blender for making furniture and home?
What laptop are u using and recommend ? I want to buy a new one but don’t know which one to choose 😅
I've only used SketchUp, but I haven't completed high school, so I'll wait for concluding on my favorite program. Maya looks the coolest to me
Maya is so neat (-:
Really helpful vid thanks!
Thank you so much
It's great ..programs for Architects
awesome! any specific revit online class u recommend?
thank you for this post! is there a software(s) you would recommend for someone looking to specialize in using a software to create stairs (sorry if my question seems silly lolll )
your video was wonderful And highly informative,thankyou for sharing it:-)!
Glad it was helpful!
what are the best online courses to take? to make us as a professional on these programs?
Can you suggest any websites where we can take these software classes to learn how to use them or suggest any videos pls 🙂
Amazing video!
Glad you think so! I hope it helped!
Thank you so much for this kind of information
Glad it was helpful!
Autocad+Sketchup+Enscape for me
how about affinity photo ? it's way cheaper than Photoshop because you don't need to pay periodically subscription and it's available in apps store for 20 bucks for a lifetime.

I have yet to find a firm who is using revit who isn't still using autocad as well.
Thank you so much for helping us ❤️😘
My pleasure 😊

Autodesk programs for students are free :)
@@diana.niki. yes but only for educational purposes and not even competitions are allowed. What I'm mainly saying is the cost of these programs once one finishes college but doesn't have a financial kickstart or sth.
The plural form of software is software. This is true even when you're referring to multiple programs.
I have never never 🤔 use photoshop 😕. As a student I used a pen, paper, eraser and my drawing table. 😁 Back in 1994.
The good ole drafting days 🥵❤️
Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!(:
This will more helpful for the students who wants to practice in abroad like me.thank you much{:
It's my pleasure(: Happy to help out!
Literally teaching myself revit rn!
Revit is difficult to learn & has a steep learning curve. Glad I took a course otherwise I wouldnt have been able to get it off the ground.
Is that Atlanta in the outro? I'm not very familiar with American cities lol
I’m actually unsure I’ve had so much random copyright free footage and thought that was the coolest(: but let me see if I can find out!
Blender, I’ve used so many render engines and yet to find one better than blenders inbuilt Cycles.
Amazing video!!
Could you also do tutorials for these softwares as well?
Would be incredibly helpful :)
I will try! Do you want just a general overview of the programs or did you have something else in mind(:
@@UnravelingArchitecture Maybe as you're going about your Architecture journey we could get a look into what tools you like to use and how :)
You didn’t mention Lumion.
9:15
Me as I paint my nails: ‘I wonder will she mention grasshopper, god I hate that software....
5 seconds later grasshopper appears 😂
gotta love grasshopper hahaha
Rhino 💯 And adobe programs of course
3ds max to using architecture
great video but come blender is way better than sketchup in my opinion and guess what its free :)
You left Blender! Blender is as insane as Maya!
your voice stressing me out T_T smoke one or drink a glass before your videos lmao
Wicked video! Thanks for all the awesome info. But, why are you talking like you about to cry the entire time? And holy shit theirs a fire on your desk.
ArchiCAD , how could you not mention this program.
Sheesh u gettin famous@ ok
Now do a tutorial for the ones you know😂
HAHA okay I will see what I can do!!
Hey there I've been following your videos, you give helpful information concerning architecture. Am a 6th semester architecture student. Do you mind becoming my friend?
Me : oh imma check out Revit maybe i can try to learn
Looks at price*
Ok back to blender and sketchup it is...
Haha it's expensive! But if you're a student, you get a trial version(:

Ooooh my god!!! And Archicad????archicad is the best software for architecture girl! No revit!! Archicad!!!!!!!!!
