Softwares
Traditionally, Enscape has been the go-to 3D rendering software used in the ISD program. However, recent increases in price have forced a look into other options. Below are three of the most effective 3D rendering software on the market, and ones used regularly in the interior design workforce.
Enscape integrates directly with BIM software like Revit and SketchUp, offering real-time rendering and easy navigation through immersive walkthroughs (including VR!), which enhances design presentations and client engagement.
Lumion is known for its user-friendly interface and ability to produce high-quality renders quickly. This makes it ideal for creating detailed scenes with realistic lighting, materials, and weather effects.
Twinmotion stands out for its intuitive drag-and-drop functionality and synchronization with various design software, providing more efficient workflows.
