Broderbund Updates 3D Home Architect Version 5.0 Built on Industrial-Strength CAD Engine Eric Grevstad
Mon 9/23/02 -- Thinking about remodeling or landscaping? Broderbund has drafted (pun intended) a professional-quality CAD engine for its revised 3D Home Architect Professional 5.0, home-design software that helps you plan and budget for home improvement projects.
Priced at $90, the new release includes 3DTrueView photo-realistic rendering of projects in 3D with detailed color, lighting, texture, and design, as well as the ability to customize any object, color, or texture. 3D Home Architect Professional comes with over a thousand objects such as doors, windows, furnishings, and appliances, and more 3D objects can be downloaded from the Web.
A budget and materials list saves time and money, while editing functions provide more flexibility than real wood and Sheetrock ever could -- you can move and edit objects in both 2D and 3D views, such as moving a wall and having the ceiling, roof, windows, and doors shift to fit.
