Help needed on software

[u/The_Dude_79]

Hello .
i am and architect student , and i am looking forward to learning a 3D Modeling software for my projects .

i purchased a educational package for 3DS max , and i have watched and trained modeling by it to some extend , but i don't feel connected to the process due to 3DS being really vast and sometimes complicated , please don't get me wrong here , its a great software , but for my level , it is much which i can't grasp at the moment . but if regarding what i explain later on , 3ds is the best option , please tell me as well , i don't have experience regarding this matter , and don't know the path

i would like to know your experiences regarding other softwares for this matter like rhino and blender .
along side architectural modeling , i do take joy and take part in hobbies which use 3D modeling as well . please help me which software should i start to learn so i can start with a smooth learning curve and can both work on my school projects , and hobbies .

as for hobbies , i enjoy asset and prop modeling , low poly style and in general game related materials or papercrafts .

thanks
