This is just for messing around to see in digital form the house that I dream of in my head. Is there a truly free one that does a decent job?
I’ve played with it in Sims 3 but I was wondering if there was something more realistic out there. Bonus if it’s something where I could generate a noob file that a pro architect could use to base a real design on.
Used to be Sketchup, not sure if that’s still around for free. Used for a lot of architectural stuff and somewhat beginner friendly.
Me personally I’d use Blender, but that seemingly requires you to learn how to model donuts with sprinkles first…
Yours is actually the second suggestion for SetchUp. Thanks!
You could try sweethome3d (open source). Although I haven’t tried to design a whole house, I’ve used it for designing my deck layout. Take a look at the gallery to see if it fits your need - Sweet Home 3D gallery You can try it online through browser or download the installer ( Windows/Linux/MacOS)
Thanks, will check it out. Is your deck done?
Yes, built it 2yrs ago. I can share the design and pic of the final product if you like.
I don’t think we will have a deck but I would definitely love to see pics.
Few pics of the deck and couple of exported images of the design.
