I see alot of renders done on here and am curious what everyone is using?

AutoCad is a few grand, so is Chief Architect. Most products are pressed well out of my budget. lol. So, what's everyone using?

I use Punch http://www.punchsoftware.com/products/as4000.htm?AFC-I9319R109264&AID=10402343&PID=1499915&SID=ggExpunch_home

I actually have Punch pro, have had it for a few years now

Google SketchUp. It's free.

Another vote for sketchup - steep learning curve to get good, but it's free (all 3d s/w has steep learing curve)

Are there any tutorials on Sketchup around the web? I looked at it a few weeks back and never got far enough to do much.

The Sketchup site has tutorials on it... it's the first Google result for "sketchup tutorials", in fact.

They're excellent.
