Home Sweet Home, in 3D

Sweet Home 3D 1.8 from eTeks is an open-source, Java-based application for drawing the plan of a home, arranging furniture on it, and displaying the results in a 3D view. Doors, windows and items from a built-in catalogue of furniture and fixtures may be dragged in and resized manually after placement. Various textures of wood, tiles and others may be applied to surfaces, and changes in plan are seen immediately in a rendered 3D view plan and realtime walkthroughs are also possible. The quality of rendering is equivalent of most low-cost offerings of the past twenty years, but unlike others, Sweet Home 3D is offered under a GNU/GPL licence.
