Quote - My main business is architectural illustration. I have clients that require their images printed at AO size (sometimes larger) for display and inspection at Appeals and Public Inquiries. Officials and the Public inspect the images not only from a distance but also close up. My clients expect extreme accuracy with their images and in consequence, high resolution is necessary.

Well in that case a program like DAZ Studio is not a good choice. I would suggest something like Form-Z, 3DMax, Lightwave, Rhino 3D, or one of the various CAD programs. But those are $1000 and up but will give you more professional results. DAZ Studio is more of a beginner 3D starter program.

I have an old copy of Form-Z. Its often used for architecture. Actually did some architectual rendering once. You will likely want something that does precise measurements and snaps to grids and objects, and global illumination (also called radiosity) rendering.

But still, I have heard of pro photographers doing 2-page spread magazine photos with a 6MP (3000x2000) digital camera.
