I am a recent grad with a BFA in Interior Design. Currently taking classes to learn design and rendering software and am wondering if its beneficial or a waste of my time. I have experience in AutoCAD and am currently learning Revit. I am debating whether or not to take Rhino. 3d Studio max is not offered this semester but will be shortly, also debating on taking that, sketch up, FormZ. Are any of these significantly more beneficial than another or should I direct my time and effort elsewhere? Thanks

Hi,
I studied interior design at Parsons and learned Rhino and CAD. The past architecture firm I worked at didn't even use Rhino or 3DMAX, but Sketchup was used primarily because it was user friendly and quick. I would devote your attention to CAD, Sketchup, and learning how to do interior rendering quickly. Good luck!

In LA, AutoCAD and SketchUp are required, and many companies are now using Revit. I don't know about the other programs. I'd suggest you check job postings in your area and see what companies are requiring.
