3D Home Planning Software?

Posted by Cliff on from the virtual-furniture-moving dept.

thorar asks: "I'm willing to move to another flat in town (or to restructure the one I'm currently living in). I'd like to create a detailed map of the apartment to study alternatives without much pencil and paper, possibly with appropriate furniture and 3D rendering. I'm not an expert in Studio Max nor similar softwares. I'd like something as simple as IKEA Kitchen Planner, but all Google serches lead to some software suite that looks unprofessional or Windows95-stylish. What would you use?" There are numerous commercial alternatives for such an application, but is there anything like this available via Open Source?

    Only on slashdot would someone be requesting software to perform a task that any woman would do for free or actually pay you to do. Next on Ask Slashdot: "Can someone recommend an open-source software tool that assists me in selecting shoes?"

    Yes, but only with Radiant will you ever be able to test the defensibility of your new home design.

    Exactly. And how else would you find choke points in your house when you get swarmed by the undead?

    I like to keep my respawn in the bathroom. That way I have an excuse to spawn camp.
