And it integrates smoothly with all major production CAD systems.Production Design - Interiors - Presentation - Retail Design - Project Marketing - Urban DesignWe put the Design back into C.A.D.(tm)!Professional designers who work full time creating built-environment models and images, including architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and exhibit and production designers, will enjoy the fast, easy and creative visualization environment, the increased rendering quality, and the unlimited modeling capabilities, of DesignWorkshop Professional, fully cross-platform 3D design software for both Power Macintosh and Windows 95/98/NT.DesignWorkshop allows you to quickly and creatively sketch spatial ideas in live 3D perspective, then develop and refine them efficiently with simple yet powerful and accurate editing tools. Your design visions will spring to life instantly using real-time rendering with lights and textures built in. And with the LightWorks rendering modules of DesignWorkshop Professional, one menu command produces a professional anti-aliased presentation rendering of your creation. The unique DesignWorkshop modeling environment is based on a live 3D crosshair, so you can model in real perspective space, using easy click-and-drag direct-manipulation editing to create, resize, and reshape walls, roofs, openings, etc.DesignWorkshop is the first real 3D design tool for creating form in space. Traditional drafting software only works in two dimensions, like pencil and paper. Most so-called "3D applications" are really just souped-up drafting software, with little or no editing available in the perspective view. The few other powerful 3D solid modeling systems available are complicated to learn and use, and too rigid for creative design work. With DesignWorkshop, you actually design and build live in three dimensions. MacWEEK calls DesignWorkshop "the most direct 3D interface short of a dataglove". MacWorld calls it "an excellent, lower-priced alternative to high-end architectural design packages." David Stovall, the famous online graphics forum leader, says DesignWorkshop "is the closest thing to intuitive design out there."Real User Comments:"It's so easy. Design, wallify, assign textures, and voila! In practice, architects want to be able to build a quick model. This is perfect."-Michael Anonuevo, C.A.T. Architects, Santa Monica"I finally got around to using your product and I wish I had done so earlier. The program is all that you advertised and more! It's intuitive in traditional Mac style, and is complimentary to a 3D d
