For simple home design projects or for a good introduction to 3D graphics, DesignWorkshop Lite is the 3D application everyone can afford. Available free from the Artifice web site, DesignWorkshop Lite is available for downloading and on a 150MB dual-platform CD-ROM with tutorials, complete documentation, textures, basic 3D object libraries, and other useful accessories.
Every level of the DesignWorkshop family Ñ Lite, Classic, and Professional Ñ allows you to quickly and creatively sketch spatial ideas in live 3D perspective, then develop and refine them efficiently with simple yet powerful and accurate editing tools. Your design visions will spring to life instantly using real-time rendering with lights and textures built in.
DesignWorkshop is the first real 3D design tool for creating form in space. Traditional drafting software only works in two dimensions, like pencil and paper.Most so-called "3D applications" are really just souped-up drafting software, with little or no editing available in the perspective view. The few other powerful 3D solid modeling systems available are complicated to learn and use, and too rigid for creative design work.
The unique DesignWorkshop modeling environment is based on a live 3D crosshair, so you can model in real perspective space, using easy click-and-drag direct-manipulation editing to create, resize, and reshape walls, roofs, openings, etc. With DesignWorkshop, you actually design and build live in three dimensions. MacWEEK calls DesignWorkshop "the most direct 3D interface short of a dataglove". MacWorld calls it "an excellent, lower-priced alternative to high-end architectural design packages." David Stovall, the famous online graphics forum leader, says DesignWorkshop "is the closest thing to intuitive design out there."
With DesignWorkshop Lite, the Save function is disabled for models of over 100 solid objects, or more than 1000 polygons, but projects of any size can be opened, viewed, rendered, and printed. Import and export translation for the DXF, PICT, and 3DMF formats built-in.
It's a 3D design starter program based on DesignWorkshop that's got plenty of power for home design, remodeling and shop projects, or just for serious tire-kicking.
