Build a home, renovate an apartment or plan your garden with Live Home 3D—an intuitive home, interior and landscape design app that turns all design tasks into an exciting process, while giving you the powerful tools that no other app in the store can deliver. With Live Home 3D, you will be able to: • Create detailed 2D floor plan layouts. • Walk through your 3D interior designs. • Hone your design skills with the ready-made house and interior design samples (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, etc). • Add and move furniture and other objects (5,000+ items), and apply physically based materials (3,000+ supplied materials). Thousands of free models can be imported from the Trimble 3D Warehouse and Sketchfab. • Import 3D models from other applications in all of the most popular formats. • Get photo-realistic views of your designs with the offline, ray-tracing rendering technology powered by AMD Radeon™ ProRender or Cycles (unlimited number of renders at no extra cost). • Export fast and high quality AI renders of your designs: choose from a multitude of presets and adjust simple settings. • Achieve natural lighting by setting up true geolocation, time of day and cloudiness. • Adjust light fixtures throughout the house to achieve a realistic lighting scene. • Set multiple cameras to create flyover videos and 3D renderings of your projects from different angles. • Work with the customizable roof; create corner windows and complex openings. • Easily share your projects among macOS, iOS, iPadOS, visionOS or Windows devices. Share your projects with friends, contractors or on social media. • Export 2D floor plans as PDF and 3D views of your projects as high-resolution images. • Render realistic home interior and outdoor walkthrough videos. • Create Stereo 3D Video, 360° Video, Stereo 3D 360° Video and 360° Panorama JPEG images. Note: All exports have watermarks in the Free version of the app. Only one project at a time can be used in the Free version. The Standard Features In-App purchase removes the watermarks, save limitations and the 2-floor limit of the Free version. The Pro Features In-App purchase additionally unlocks the advanced features listed below: • Export quality extended to Ultra HD for movies and 360° Panoramas, and to Hi-res (16,000 x 16,000) for still shots. • Terrain editing tools for landscape design: create elaborate terrain with elevation lines and pits, lay driveways and plan out your garden or backyard. • Material Editor that allows you to create sophisticated custom materials, controlling their texture and light emissive properties. • 2D Elevation view that displays the side view on walls and roof; a perfect tool for working with openings, niches and wall panels. • Custom-shaped roofs: freely edit roof segments to roofs of any form and complexity. • Multi-purpose Building Block tool for creating columns, beams or even furniture. • A wider range of camera settings. • Export the entire house design or several objects to USDZ, glTF, SCN, SCNZ, FBX or OBJ formats. • Light Source Editor with a wide range of settings that helps you create custom lamps or achieve the best lighting for your projects. Note: Starting with Live Home 3D version 5.0, you can create an app account and link all your in-app purchases to it, sharing them across all available platforms without re-buying.

I REALLY LOVE THIS APP!!! It was just one random day of me wanting to be an architect and design a house and I found this across the web and I got hooked into it ever since! There's so many furnitures, colors and wallpapers to choose from just from the free version! You can make your house, apartment or condo from square zero and customize it any way you want!!! From the floor, wallpaper, door designs and ceiling! Even the roof! The only thing I don't like is you can't open your last design unless you buy premium. Like I haven't even taken a vid of the mansion I made because I accidentally made a new project not knowing I could not open the last one I made 🥹. I was so sad I worked on that for like half a month with breaks. But I'm just gaslighting myself that I at least finished it before it went to trash😭. Guys a tip, if you accidentally deleted the whole entire thing (which I stupidly did I got mad at myself so much I wanted to throw my laptop on to mars) do command Z! :) Overall fun just not the projects huhuhuhuhu next time I'll take a vid of my house before opening a new one!!

Thank you for your feedback! Indeed, the Free version only allows for one project. The good news, however, is that your other projects are not gone - when creating a new project, you are offered to save the previous one on your device, and though you won't be able to open it again with the Free version, you will be able to open it later when you buy a paid version (even the cheapest option will work). And of course you can make videos and screenshots of your projects.

Great for visualizing furnishing and renovating your house

Nice mixture of accessibility and precision, as needed. Easy to create rooms and walls, and to add windows, doors, and openings. The range of materials is pretty good, and easy to apply. It is easy to create and set camera views. Working in the split screen — half floor plan, and half 3D view — makes changes and additions immediately understandable. Access to the Trimble 3D Warehouse is great: There is a huge number of options for furniture and other elements in your interior; almost all allow customizable dimensions. The only noticeable lack, for me, is the range of light fixtures. Only the light fixtures in the software act as light sources (customizable for intensity and other attributes); the light fixtures in Trimble 3D Warehouse don’t offer the lighting functionality (at least what I’ve found). To achieve relatively realistic lighting and shadows, you need to use the limited range of fixtures in the software.

I'm sure the technical aspects of Live Home are lost on me but my youngest kiddo and I LOVE designing spaces together. He's been using this apps since he was five or six. He's now almost ten. We purchased the lifetime license and all the extras so I thought I might try it for our laundry room renovation. Now I have to be mindful of how much time I spend on it so as to avoid whiling away entire days sitting on the couch, glued to my laptop! Our kiddo prefers the iPad platform, says it is easier to use. I use it with my Macbook and love it. I regularly have to watch tutorials, read articles, etc, to accomplish my goals as it isn't the most intuitive platform for a novice like me but I really do enjoy it and look forward to using it for more reallife projects as well as just for fun!

We’ve been using Live3D for the last 3 years to imagine our dream home. As someone said, it got limiting very quickly. We upgraded to the Pro version and we were very happy. Only word of caution, if you upgrade via in-app, you cannot share between your family computers. Buy it through the Mac App Store.We eventually hired an Architect that used a professional software. For grins, I decided to try to duplicate his work. Surprisingly, I was able to duplicate about 95% of his work. There were limitations like the program cannot do half walls or different floor elevations. So my version looked less polished. But it was helpful to use it to test out the different lighting options in the house. This alone made it worth it for the purchase.The program looks like it was written in the UK or Europe. Most of its object is very European and for American users may look a bit old fashioned, especially their textures look like something my grandmother used. Also, you may not see many objects you need. Air-conditioner or pretty much any whole house HVAC equipment, Kitchen cabinets do not have corner pieces, soffit lights, any utilities meters (water, gas, electric, etc…), skylights and American BBQ (not the tiny grills). We love Scandinavian furniture, the Pro version came with some but not enough. Lastly, and probably the most annoying thing for me, is their search and organization. Example, I would search for “Toilet” and nothing would come up. But I search for “Water”, I get Water Closet. LOLOverall, still an excellent program. Very powerful, very stable and their tech support group is very helpful and responsive. Invest a little time and you will see good output. For laying out the rooms, figuring out what fits and what works, this was a perfect program for us. If they would invest in their object library, I would gladly give it a 5 star.

Hello! Thank you for the feedback. We really appreciate it. Our 3D designers constantly work on the content improvement, so the app will only get better. By the way, we plan to release v.4 in late January 2021. You may expect a lot of new functionality coming. As to the flaws you've mentioned. With the release of iOS 14, Apple allowed the family sharing of inn-apps on iPhones and iPads, so there is a hope, the same will be applied to Big Sur as well. We did not add too many items to the app library because of our integration with the Trimble 3D Warehouse. You may download millions of free objects from there. To access it, click Import button / From Trimble 3D Warehouse and choose the necessary model in the browser window that comes up. Note that you should have an internet connection for this. Kind Regards,BeLight Software Support
