Description

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 (2,400+ items), and apply physically based materials (2,100+ supplied materials). Thousands of free models can be imported from the Trimble 3D Warehouse.
• 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).
• 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.

Very happy with the app

I tried a couple of the available apps and found this one to be stable, easy to use and perfect for my needs. I wanted to prepare a 3D model of our new build apartment to trial furniture layouts and work out what of our current furniture needs to be downsized. This app did th job perfectly.

Not useful for serious architecture

Almost impossible to create rooms not on base grid. Walls of different sizes don't easily join, even though they can in real life. Angles between a diagonal wall and the grid are not displayed, but they are for objects. Rooms cannot be rotated. There's a bug in the wall thickness/type selector as well.
However, much of the app works well, once you get to know how it operates. I'd suggest more work is needed by the developer

Developer Response ,

Hello! Thank you for the feedback. This Autumn we plan to release v.4, which will add new types of walls, that can have different sizes on the same story. Angles between a diagonal wall and the grid are not displayed, but they are for objects - we need to think how to implement this technically. In version 4, you will be able to move and rotate rooms and houses. Please, provide more info about the bug with selector to support@belightsoft.com We will check it asap.

Kind Regards,

No good if you dont pay to upgrade

You Cannot save the file unless you pay a subscription. I'm only working on designing one house once.

Developer Response ,

Hello! The free version of Live Home 3D is fully functional and has an autosave feature that allows saving a project inside the app, even if you need to shut down or restart the computer. You may always make the screenshots of the current project and then switch to a new one. Full access to 2,000 objects and 2,100 materials, full set of tools for making practically any home design. Full access to numerous video lessons. No annoying ads! There is no similar offer at the App Store. The purchase of Standard or Pro features in-app is necessary only if you want to save multiple projects as files, or unlock the additional advanced tools. Standard features start with just $4.99.
