Anyone who creates built-environment models and images, from home owners to designers to architects, creating 3D models from web illustrations to houses to city scapes, will enjoy the fast, easy and creative visualization environment of DesignWorkshop®, for both Windows 95/98/ME/XP/NT/2000 and Macintosh Classic.
The most intuitive modeling for architectural design
DesignWorkshop is the first real 3D design tool for creating form in space. Not just modeling - creating. DesignWorkshop 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. 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 most efficient modeling for presentation rendering
DesignWorkshop simply turns CAD drawings into architectural renderings faster than any other 3D modeler available. Your building projects can spring to life instantly using real-time rendering, with lights and textures built in. The few other powerful 3D solid modeling systems available are complicated to learn and use, and too rigid for creative design work. Most were not even created for architecture.
The most profitable addition to an existing CAD system
DesignWorkshop will integrate smoothly with your existing mainstream drafting software, on both Windows and Macintosh, including AutoCAD, PowerCADD, ArchiCAD, MicroStation, MiniCAD, AutoCAD LT, Visio, and more. Robust support for industry standard formats like DWG, VRML, 3DMF, PICT, TIFF, BMP, JPEG, and of course the old standby DXF means that drawings and models will go directly between your CAD software and DesignWorkshop, in either direction.
Fast to learn, and fast to use, DesignWorkshop is your quickest path to profiting from architectural 3D graphics, whether you start with 2D CAD drawings, and then zap them into DesignWorkshop to pop them into 3D for rendering, or whether you prefer to design with a live 3D model, and then zap out the plans, sections, and elevations for notes, dimensions, and detailing in your production drafting environment, DesignWorkshop is the tool that will make 3D profitable for you - finally! - or we'll take it back.*
For the ultimate presentation, DesignWorkshop also integrates smoothly with all the major high-end CAD, rendering, and animation software, including Art*lantis, Lightscape, LightWorks, and Radiance, which are recommended, sold, and supported directly by Artifice, as well as AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max and Viz, Electric Image, Strata Studio Pro, Infini-D, KPT Bryce, Caligari Truespace, and so on. |
