 Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2008 12:56 pm Post subject: Software for Hardscape visualization |
    |
|
I want to add curving stairs to the front door of a home as well as replace the driveway with probably pavers and add other stone veneer work to the front of the house.
Can you recommend software that would allow me to fairly easily create visualizations on top of an imported photo of the home? Again to create a curving cement stair case with handrail and add stone texturing to driveway and other faces of the house? Alternatively, if a picture cannot be used I could recreate the front of the house if the software allowed that. I'd like secondarily to be able to try different paint schemes but I don't want that to deter from the primary purpose of the hardscape visualization software selection.
I reviewed several landscape design software boxes at Frys and its hard to know if any of them allow this. Any thoughts?
Thank you for any tips! |

fast east curvy? Rhinoceros
just match up your cameras position and field of view with some reference points
get your stone texture from the mfgs swatch and make it tillable (filter other offset then clone stamp and brush the seams away)
from the paint colors pantones / RBGs create a few textures to switch between for the color testing
I'd have to see your design to say what else to do as far as what kind commands to issue to get the geometry you want, of the existing and new.
vray for rhino demo and rhino demo itself and you have yourself a free solution for a while that will render fast and look realistic
that's what I'd do and recomend
