Re: Living room design - SH3D can create realistic pictures
Thanks smile - it is very good to know that it can be of use.

Stunning renderings - and great documentation of possible quality. The interest taken in rendering is fascinating.

I agree that good pictures are very valuable, but I admit that I rarely have the patience to bother much. Which is why I want to stress that making reasonably good renderings - good enough - is possible without too much effort. Below is a real life example. Top is a rendering from a month or so ago depicting how a room could look with changed room layout, new tiles and walls - and a few pieces of furniture. Room just finished, so I popped down yesterday to take a real life picture (bottom image). As you can see, the rendering from the plan is far from perfect (and I did change the hue and brightness a bit). BUT it still gives a pretty good impression of what the room would look like. Point is, even simple renderings can be good enough to plan a room.

This was one of the images/videos used by the builders and ourselves to get what we wanted. In short, SH3D proved extremely useful in the reconstruction process. Every piece of wire and plumbing in the walls/floors/ceilings were also meticulously inserted in SH3D. And electricians and plumbers ran around with SH3D printouts as maps.
