While I might even agree with Hansmex that some of the pieces do not yet do justice to ODG8 design, I certainly think the point is the idea - the concept. That is, indeed, as AntonioG points out, a small revolution.
I suspect we can easily agree that SH3D is by far the best tool around for visualising home design ideas. I also think ODG8 happens to have some pretty cool designs. Now, this is the starting point. Improving the models in the furniture libraries, well, that is hardly black magic. A school kid with the right tool, Blender, AoI or Sketchup, would fix that in no time.
But looking at details in the current implementation, imho, misses the point. The ODG8 / SH3D cooperation is pretty ground-breaking. Great tools and great designs combined. This is why I was so enthusiastic about the whole idea. Still am.
'other people' aka ok
PS As for Italian cars and Dutch subtleties, I once upon a time drove German cars professionally. My private cars were Lancia Deltas, Alphas and even Fiats: I still love each one passionately. And with a much higher pulse than the Merc S series I drove from Frankfurt to Arlon a few weeks back. Now, talking about good ideas with a total 'waste-of-space' implementation: remember the Dutch DAF variomatic?
