That is your very excellent work. Unless you are in extreme financial straights and can no longer afford the licensing fees, I cannot imagine why you would change tools, as you have obviously become very proficient with the ones you have. Regardless, SH3D will not achieve images comparable to those in your porfolio. I'd say the images linked by Keet are at the top end of what is achievable with SH3D.
Blender with Cycles would be able to give that level of result once you had learned all the ins and outs of the needed areas of the application. Just bear in mind that Blender is a bit vast - modelling, sculpting, animation, compositing, NLE, motion tracking, simulations, physics, inverse kinematics, particle systems, and on and on. And that's not even touching on addons/extensions! As it is so general purpose, it is not geared toward 3D arch viz, although there are addons to help out.
