Hey I'm planning on purschasing Student software of Viz 2006, so I can import my model from Revit thru exporting it in dwg then import it into Viz 2006. Have any of you guys use Viz to render your model from Revit?
If so, is Viz a good thing for rendering models from Revit?

vray is a rendering engine that comes as an external plugin for max/viz.
viz 2006 has Mental Ray 3.3 built-in. If you are not willing to pay for a plugin you can try Mental Ray which is pretty good although quite tricky.
exporting to viz/max from revit does not produce a clean mesh as I would achieve modeling in max/viz, but it is good enough for rendering with mental Ray or the default scanline without using discreet radiosity.
I hope this helps,
by the way, is viz2006 out yet?

I have already download the plug in from Autodesk and installed it. Now what? I can't find it on the screen. Where could it be? what it supposed to look like?

All you need to do is export your model to dwg (remember to do it in the 3d view) open Viz and link your model in. it will come with all the materials you assigned in Revit.
have fun...
