What is Developer3D up to this week ?

Well we spend a lot of time on the USA, Australian and UK Home Design and Building Trade Show Circuit promoting our Home Design Software Suite to both Design Professionals and Home Users.

Wherever we go we always tend to draw quite a crowd, it’s one thing to see our software demonstration videos online but when people see our products being demonstrated live ( particularly our 3D fully interactive room designer that’s definitely the show stopper  )  it creates quite a buzz and we often draw such a big crowd that we have to use a public address system just so the people at the back can hear our demonstration, sometimes on busy days we block the aisle and get in trouble with event organizers : )

Important Note: Our Home Design Software has been designed for use on the Microsoft Windows Operating System and it runs on both Windows XP and Windows Vista but you will need a 3D Graphics Card built into your PC to get the best out of the Software and a separate “plug-in” style mouse – although in theory you can use the “mouse pad” built into most notebook computers in practice trying to create a 3D model using that style of mouse will not work satisfactory on most 3D programs its just to hard to control for fine movement.

If you are looking for 3D Home Design Software for the Apple Mac our software will run if you have a dual boot Windows OS on the new Intel Processor or you can check this page which talks about alternatives Home Design Software Mac

That’s me in the picture demonstrating the software at the Melbourne Home Show, but we travel all over the World – which I think is the best part of the job – if you see us out and about please stop and wave or say Hi !

Like most small businesses today we need to remain highly mobile and agile to stay ahead of the competition, so we aren’t sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. If you need to contact us the best way is by email please understand we get 100′s of downloads a day and to have an open telephone support line would be a significant cost that quite honestly we would need to pass onto you reflected in the price of our software.

We recently partnered with a new website that promotes the services of Professional Architectural Illustrators, if you need an “Architectural Illustration Service”  please contact them.

If you have any other questions please use the contact form below.

We try to respond to all emails with 24 hours of receipt, you can help us by referring to the various training materials we make available for our products before sending in an email. If you genuinely get stuck we are happy to try and help because that means that someone else might be having the same problem and we need to look into it.

If you require a faster response time we do offer paid support contracts to professional design and building companies delivered via the free skype software under user name developer3d

You can download the skype software for free VOIP calls here www.skype.com

Visualize your Interior Design Ideas in 3D

Interior Design Software can help you to plan and decorate the perfect Home.

Plan and create your perfect dream home with our Interior Design Software. Our software supports you at every stage of the planning and  design process.

From the creation of a simple 2D Floor Plan for early discussions about room position layout and traffic flow through to a fully interactive 3D walk around model of your finished house where you can select from 1,000 of colors and finishes and materials nothing helps to bring your ideas to life more than being able to see all of the different materials and colors together in one place.

Professional Interior Decorators and Designers understand the amazing power of immersive 3D to allow customers to get in and experience a proposed design months before its been physically constructed.

Check out this video demonstrating our Master Upgrade in a purpose built virtual reality presentation room.

Click here to view the embedded video.

Important Note:

1, Video is NOT demonstrating the free Software. This is the Master Upgrade. The free Software is one room at a time – you can build as many rooms as you wish but one at a time.

2, All of our software is suitable for Windows only ( it does not run on an Apple Mac ) the 3D Software requires a 3D Graphic Card and drivers to be installed to run correctly. If your looking for Home Design Software for the Apple Mac try here

The only problem is if your anything like me to will quickly find yourself wanting to to explore every possible material and color combination and that can take hours ! Let’s be honest it if you had to pay a professional operator to drive their software for you for all that time that is probably just not going to be practical.

In reality if your paying a professional designer to do this for you then you  will probably need to use the software to look at a small number of variations and move on as quickly as possible.

Or you could invest in your own Software to perform this task on a DIY basis on a parallel path to your design team.

This is an actual real time screen shot from our 3D Interior Design Software.

Be careful the software comes with a warning if you like Interior Design, if like walking around furniture showrooms and home display centres you may become addicted !  In fact many people have commented that they use of software as an Interior Design Game ! Spending hours creating models for the entertainment value in itself.

For a very limited time we are giving away a free copy of the Virtual Decorator Software with very copy of our 2D Floor Plan Software upgrade.

The 2D Floor Plan Software Upgrade is only $17 and you get a free copy included. You can request a free copy of our 2D Floor Plan software using the request form below a download link and serial number will be email to you.

The reason that we created our 3D Home Design Software is to meet the need of the huge number of people that experience difficulty in “visualizing” ideas for new Home Construction or renovation and remodeling based on traditional 2d CAD style blueprints.

We provide a wide range of Professional 3D Rendering, 3D Modeling, Architectural Visualization, Architectural Illustrator Services and 3D Artists Impressions to our customers around the World.

An interesting paradox has happened in the last few years in the field of Architectural Illustration, in this time the benchmark for visual realism in 3D rendering and Architectural Illustration has been raised time and time again resulting in the ability today to produce near photo-real images of ” yet to be constructed ” building projects.

However logic follows that this higher and higher level of visual realism doesn’t just happen at the push of a button it not only takes considerable skill but most importantly a lot of time to produce extremely high quality imagery of Architectural Illustrations.

At Developer3D we have a professional services team that uses our own inhouse software, our Professional User Home Design Software to create what we describe as  “modest quality, fast turnaround imagery at practical prices” , prices that are affordable enough for even the smallest development project.

Our prices start at just $199 per image for residential houses, $399 for commercial or industrial development illustrations and we even offer a 48 hour platinum service turnover for urgent projects, available at additional cost.

Architectural Illustration, Visualization, Rendering

We recently formed a relationship with Architectural Illustrators if you need end high photo-real imagery and have the budget and timeline to accomodate that then we respect that, however if you need fast, affordable 3D computer generated imagary then drop us an email at sales@developer3d.com.

Below are some samples from our fast and affordable 3D Architectural Illustration and Rendering service.

3D Rendering, Architectural Illustration, 3D Modeling Services

We develop of full suite of Home Design Software, among the suite is an easy to use Floorplan Drawing Tool.

Some refreshing honest straight talk about our product …. Our 2D Floor Plan Software is NOT the right solution for EVERYONE wanting to create Building Plans and Blueprints so check this post carefully to see if the software is right for you before downloading.

If we think the software will not meet your needs we will try to provide you with an alternative suggestion.

1, If your an Apple Mac User our Software has been designed for Microsoft Windows and will NOT work on the Mac.

Try here for Floorplan Software for the Mac

2, If your an Architect, Draftsman or Design Professional that is expecting to use this sort of software 8 hours a day every day our Software is NOT going to be right for you.

The reality is you are going to need to invest in a full blown professional design package. Compared to programs like AutoCAD or Chief Architect you will find our software overly simplistic and lacking in the features of a full blown $500 + professional design suite try these links

AutoCAD LT 2010

Chief Architect Home Designer Pro 9.0

3, If you a consumer that is not looking to spend at least 30 – 40 minutes learning how our software works you will just end up frustrated, our Software is NOT right for you.

Maybe you should consider ready drawn plans as floor plan drawing software is considered “task based” ie you are going to be using the software to perform some task unique to you and all task based software from photo editing, to video editing to spreadsheets anything that is not template driven or multi-choice has a learning curve

There are literally 100,000′s of such plans available online today, you should try these links

Floor Plans

Shed and Garage Plans

So then who is our free Floor Plan Software suited for ?

Our software was designed to meet the needs of a particular niche, we believe that if you are in that niche you will be very happy with our product.

Our target user has a part time requirement, maybe they are in real estate or the property business or maybe they are in the building trades or maybe they are planning and building their own home either way our customers are looking for a fast and easy to use Floor Plan Software package but they also understand that it is going to take 30 – 40 minutes to come to grips with how the software works.

If that sounds like you then please watch this 4 minute video of how our Software works and then if you still feel that our software is right for you then feel free to proceed to download a copy of our Floorplan Software by clicking on the button below.

That has to be the best value for money Floor Plan Software on the Market just $10 ! but just to make it extra value for the next 100 customers that purchase our Floor Plan Drawing Software we are going to include the following free bonuses.

1, A free copy of our Project Management Software

2, A free copy of our Budget Planning Software

3, A free copy of a famous distance learning course on How to Read House Plans

This is not simply our Instruction Manual this information is completely stand alone and doesn’t even reference the 2D Floorplan Software in this package, its a famous stand alone Government distance learning course.
