Editor's review
New landscape design software helps you visualize your landscaping ideas. Design houses, decks, patios, paths, fencing, gardens, yards, and much more. Create photo-realistic, 3D walkthroughs of your design ideas.
Features: This application lets you design professional landscape plans and presentations. You are able to visualize landscaping ideas, make changes and finalize a plan. As far as presentations are concerned you can then create a walk-through these 3D visualizations. Photo based designs and plan drawings are also easy to create. No prior CAD experience is needed to create these photo realistic walkthroughs. Things that you can design with this package include houses, decks, fencing, yards, gardens, swimming pools, water features, and much more with easy-to-use tools. Add hand drawn look to the plants by using a set of symbols and color washes as well as labels. Many other CAD drawings with proper size and scale are available as are drawing templates for paper sizes from A4 through A0.
Both 2D and 3D views are linked together. As one of these updated the other gets correspondingly updated too. You are thus able to freely move around the views and do your work in whichever environment is appropriate. Import of digital photographs, the client`s home for example, can be easily imported. A photo editor available will let you do any touch up that may be required. 3D visualization is supported by real time rendering. House wizard can help you create a pre-built house which has only the exteriors modeled. Materials, roof styles help doing this easily. Use terrain sculpting tools to add the hills and dales in the landscape as necessary. You can import models from the AutoCAD and Google Sketchup. The software comes with over 12,000 objects, including 5700 plants, 2000 accessories, 1900 plant symbols, and more.
Overall: Really a very nice and useful tool that clearly adds value to your design work and presentations to the client.
