I am actually Using REVIT ARCHITECTURE 2011 for my 3D renderings and it comes up pretty good even if it takes many hours to be completed. its quiet normal when you use a 4go Ram laptop. I ti would be much faster if you are using an 8go or more Ram computer

Artlantis it was the first to have drag and drop textures and is very fast at producing stunning photo realistic renders.

i do believe that there is no greater software when it comes to photorealistic rendering.....it still depends on good the one who uses it and how he presents it.....though i work in 3dmax with vray and sketch up.....

Renderings have really become a successful way to sell clients on an idea.I've been having great success with Sketch-up and Shaderlight. The key is giving them as much "eye candy" as you can. Make quick changes and even artificial lighting to really make your designs sell themselves.
I've even started rendering up some of our architectural woodwork projects to really show clients what the final prodict will look like.

I WILL HAVE TO GO WITH ATLANTIS, I NORMALLY START IN AUTOCAD, THEN EXPORT LAYOUT TO ARCHICAD, ELEVATE ALL THE 2 DIMENSIONAL SPACES TO A 3D WIREFRAME, GIVING IT IT'S FINAL TOUCH IN ATLANTIS. USE PREFEREBLY AN 8GB LAPTOP OR PC, IT WOULD FUNCTION WAY BETTER, CONSIDERING THE RENDERING AND IMAGE LAYOUTS TAKE A LONG TIME.

I think it depends on what you want to accomplish and what is your context.

Biased renderer

Vray.. the best in quality for biased render. and its qucik. Initial learning curve difficult, but once you get the hang of it. you will enjoy it.

Podium. cheap and quick to learn.. you can learn and be addicted easily. but lack the control like with vray.

Vue. for anything with landscape. nice trees

Kerkythea.. good its free.

Unbiased engines.
Maxwell, Thea and Fryrender

Better quality than any other biased renderer. but takes loooooooooooooooooooong time to render. But if you have the patience to wait and good machine go for this.

Imho Architecture and photo-realism. Considering deadlines, good quality for clients and quick. I will go with the tandem of skethchup and Vray sketchup. Here is a favorite site of Nomeradona, a fellow Filipino who spent dedicated time to offer the best resources you can find with Sketchup and Vray in general..
