Hello everyone, I wanted a tip on which software to buy to make a discreet 3d.
the use is the following, design of plants in 2d and then furnish them, then with faithful colors (more or less) and a good quality of the final effect.
I look for a program that is intuitive and easy to use.
I have no shopping problems, of course I do not propose a program that costs 10'000,00€ :biggrin:
in principle I will use this software to furnish apartments for civil homes.
I am not interested in prospectives and what else but that the plant gives effect 3d with furniture and everything that is in a house so as to make as much truth a future situation that will then be realized and have therefore various perspectives of the plant.
Thank you.
 
you could use autocads, 2d designs and then insert the furniture as blocks.

or I heard about software like d but I never used, which seems to be done for what you ask.
 
I'm looking for something like archicad.
archicad used it but as a quality I don't get so excited.
I had bowed this http://www.arconmaster.com/of which I also saw a demo and really hit me, but before making a purchase I wanted advice from you more experts than maybe you know some other better software
 
you do not understand if you have to make 3d or 2d colored drawings with shadows and materials.

I have to do 3ds, but I don't care about the outside, but I want to be able to enter the house and explore it.
something like this:
catturada.webp

It would suffice sketchup with pow for rendering wanting to spend little, or even rhinoceros with module pow. Of course it depends that furniture you need, if you draw them and if you need data for production (e.g. kitchens)
if you want something more oriented to the furniture (and the design of furniture for preproduction) maybe you need something like vectorworks interiorcad xs with module renderworks (for photorealism).
if you want to make high-level light architecture then you will need vectorworks spotlight with module renderworks and interiorcad xs

hi and thanks for the answer, for the furniture it would be enough for the software to have a good assortment of the internal library
 
then, the best solution is sketchup, both because it is very simple to use, both because it has a huge library of things, objects, furniture etc, you can make an idea qui.
As far as the exploration of the scene is concerned, I'd let the classic rendering engines lose, you need a realtime. you have various possibilities:
One is the best one, lumenrt, is closely connected to sketchup. at first you launch a precalculum on cpu, like normal renders, but in the end you have a navigable scene with very close quality to reality, in which you can walk, extrapolate shields, make animations, and give the customer the navigable file, without having the application! to use the scene you need a graphics card quite powerful, but nothing that, the latest radeon or nvidia desktop of medium/high band go more than well. or a realtime where you can import models, which only uses the graphics card with directx, type lumione, even if more suitable for outdoors, you can do anything. another pure realtime, only gpu, and finally by skechup is renderlight. Take a look. I think lumenrt is the best choice, for inside the precalculum, it will not be so heavy, depends on the scenes and the cpu you have. You evaluate. all solutions are very economical and high level for your purpose. you can safely use the free version of sk, and anyway all the engines you can try them.
 
My advice is to use bcad, it's a somewhat spartan Russian program.
you can make very precise modeling and rayt renderings, you can make path animations so you can walk through the rooms.
and it's free if you don't take that to design furniture.
very easy to learn.
Bye.
 
3d sketchup: learn easily and find everything.
for the rendering kerkythea (free) or artlantis ( affordable price) or whatever you want.
:finger:
 
thanks to all, the time to try what you proposed and I will let you know, thanks again
are well accepted further tips:biggrin::biggrin:
 
I certainly did not care about imos cad cam. I knew it well and it is very complicated and expensive (other than 10,000 €.) besides, although some say no, it has various limitations in designing furniture. you can use it as a normal cabinet but it is counterproductive to spend much more when there are many others less. Good job.
 
hi to everyone, I reexumerate this old discussion to have updates after over 2 years. I would like to leave my autocad to pass to some more efficient solution without spending a boat of money. I use the cad to design buildings or renovations, so I would need to work easily in 3d.
I saw 2 products that hit me at the fair: one of the blumaticad and one of the acca.
The first one is much cheaper and has an autocad interface, so it doesn't scare me through, even if it has very easy features to design both in 2d and 3d.
the second, on the other hand, costs more, but it seems to allow to do more easily different things, provided you remain in certain standards, because it does not seem like a real cad; but I saw it in operation and it seems really very powerful.... but I do not vso if in the practical act is really so powerful.
What do you think?
What else do you suggest and why?
 
Hi.
I think I'd also consider rhinoceros

Why:

1) is intuitive

2) really costs little

3) there are thousands of plugins to make us practically everything (many free)

4) 2d 3d easy

5) to learn how to use the web is flooded by many tutorials
 
seen, man, but no is to design buildings. Maybe you can use it to make renderings and animations after designing the building in 3d, in order to have a more photorealistic effect. My main problem, however, is to build a project in 3d of buildings faster
 
1800€ + VAT approximately (depending on the discount that makes you the dealer) including an autocad lt.
then with 2000 euri you take home revit lt 2016 + autocad lt 2016
 
rhino is a nurns modeler, it is not precisely to make rendering and animations, if not with plugins. It is also to design buildings with visualarq. revit lt instead is just bim, more suitable I would say.
