eTeks announced the availability of Sweet Home 3D version 1.0, a free software designed to draw the plan of a home, place furniture on it, and view the result in a 3D view.
Sweet Home 3D is aimed at people who wants to design their interior quickly. Numerous visual guides helps them to draw their home plan and layout furniture in it. The user may :
draw the walls of his rooms upon the image of an existing plan, and change the color of the walls,
drag and drop furniture in the plan from a catalog organized by categories (living room, kitchen...), in which he can import 3D models created by himself or downloaded from different web sites,
change the size, the orientation and the elevation of each piece of furniture with the mouse,
view the changes in the plan simultaneously in the 3D view, either from an aerial view point, or from a virtual visitor view point,
print the home plan and the 3D view, and copy the plan in clipboard.
Written in Java, Sweet Home 3D may be run under Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, and is available in English and French. It is probably the only complete Open Source software of its kind, and the only one available under Linux in the interior design category.
A few features are still missing (like creating indications of dimensions, applying textures or managing lights), but this version gives already a very good rendering of the layout of a home !
