fluid designer vs sweethome3D rendering

[rijul]

I am looking to start my career as a home designer.

I really love the ease of making things in SH3D, however the rendering when compared to fluid designer and other professional softwares seems a bit lacking.
That is it looks less realistic. I have seen renders which are very hard to differentiate from photographs.

Is it due to the models, textures? Can we import better models? or is it due to built-in rendering capabilities.

Look forward to hearing.

My main goal when programming and improving Sweet Home 3D is first to make home designing easy, not to compete with professional expensive solutions.
Nevertheless, the program lets you import better models, and create nice renderings if needed.

Mr Emmanuel
You've done a fantastic job!
The ease with which I was able to create my room in Sweet Home 3D without even going through any demo videos was unbelievable.
It speaks for how well designed and intuitive the program is ! merci !

Could you guide with how I can make better models?
Also, fluid designer is an open source project based on blender.
I was really impressed with how it handled chrome, glass and fabric renders specifically.

It'd be awesome to get similar results from Sweet Home 3D too.

Merci
