For seven years, Mac users have watched – like kids outside the candy store – as their PC counterparts designed and remodeled homes, landscapes, and decks with Punch! Software’s best selling line of home design software. But the “seven-year itch” will finally be scratched when the Kansas City-based software maker unveils Home Design Studio for the Mac in early September, says Punch! Software President Pete Pierce.
“This isn’t just a Mac-compatible version, but a complete, stand-alone product that puts all of Home Design Studio’s state-of-the-art features in the hands of Mac users,” says Pierce. “They can quickly explore an almost infinite number of ways to improve and enhance exteriors, interiors and landscapes, and then get a photo-realistic view in 3D, from virtually any angle.”
Some of Home Design Studio’s most popular features include:
Brand Name Product Libraries offering thousands of materials choices – from faux finishes and paints, to flooring, solid surfaces, and stone.
Walk and Fly-Through Tours. Like a video game, users can take virtual tours of their designs – at different speeds – and assess the renderings from various angles, from ground-level to overhead views.
An Extensive Plant Library features more than 4,000 varieties. With the PlantFinderTM tool, you can automatically choose the selections that are best for your climate.
The extensive Drag and Drop Content Library lets you experiment with room layouts, paints, drapes, blinds, furniture, cabinets, fireplaces and much more – instantly.
Includes fully integrated Topography Designer™, Cabinet & Roofing Assistants. Import real world pictures with PhotoView™; use RealModel® to build a hands-on 3D model.
“The beauty of Home Design Studio is that it lets you change your mind about anything – over and over again – without driving your family nuts,” added Pierce. “It’s a fun way to get serious design results – fast!”
Home Design Studio for the Mac will be available soon at www.punchsoftware.com and from major retailers.
