I recently (within last month)found Punch 3D Home Design Platinum at a Target store. It was clearanced for $25USD. Since I was looking for software to help with a remodel, I couldn't pass it up.

Nice software. I still need some time with it, but I've already completed two models.

I can't wait to add things such as lighting to see if I can actually get results similar to what they show on their video.

[AsktheBuilder]

That was a super deal! Congrats. It has a somewhat steep learning curve.

Tim, it seems like you tool bench is neater than your office desk!

I guess that is the way it should be.

Sometimes things get a little out of control in the office. My bat-cave office in the basement will never get the Most-Organized Award, unless I am the only one in the contest.

GOOGLE SKETCHUP IS BETTER AND EASIER TO USE.

Who needs architects when you have this!!!!!!!!

Consumer home design software has been a nice addition even to the home design business. There are many great software packages available - this being one. As a professional designer I have found these to be valuable ways for clients to develop and communicate initial ideas of what they want. They beat napkin sketches :-) If of any size, these plans still need the professional attention and engineering so they can be permitted and built. But they are great starts. - Ken Risley

Wow myvirtualhome is great. What in your opinion is the best software, myvirtualhome, google sketch, or HDTV Home and Landscape suite?

[JAVIER144CATRACHO]

wooow that's nice i do my designs with home design 8.0 but that's great great one

[MIKEalTV]

ill now subscribe thanks for this video.

[bitshuffler]

google myvirtualhome - it's a free package that is 10 times easier and better. It's 35 mb, download register and you're up and running in ten minutes.

It's free because manufacturers of real products pay to have them in the software. Absolutely web 2.0.

New, fun, easy, powerful.

How and where do I go to purchase the Software I am very Interested in purchasing it?

[sigena105]

I would go for reviews regarding any softwares on sale. Most of these softwares have fancy add ons that don't really work. Like walk-thru and alway's check the rendering finish if it looks cartoony dump it. For $125.00 they expect you to have good 3d video card. So be careful purchasing home design softwares if you don't have enough power in your system or even if you do the rendering results is not equal to expensive 3D programs. Buy something that gives you a good rendering result!
