Does anyone know where I can download a free 3D architecture building design program for a mac.?
I'm looking for something to just play around with my ideas, but all of them are for experts, I want something that looks realistic, but is easy to use, and doesnt use too much of the computer HD.

- Try Bryce 3D http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/2853 Its $99 Or here http://www.download.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=Bryce&tag=404&searchtype=downloads Otherwise the better you go the more it costs and the more RAM you need.
- The best free architecture software I've used is Google SketchUp. It's super quick and really easy to learn. You can make models look realistic but it takes a little more advanced work. As far as I know you can't change or alter the light sources. It won't be too hard on your HD. http://sketchup.google.com/download/ (you dont want pro) I've also heard a lot of good things about blender. I haven't used it recently but from what I remember it had a lot of depth to it (aka its harder). Because of this however you have more control. It will be harder on your HD than sketch-up for sure. http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
