Export Whether Or Not Other 3D Format And Difference Of Fellow Porducts

[pisubann]

Hi!

I'm Japanese, and here question is my first time.

So my sentence might have a little mistakes, please pardon me.

 

I plan to develop game with unity, blender, but didn't find software to design interior in Japan.

When i find Home Designer Software, i feel to find the right software for myself.

But before i buy this software, i have a few questions about software.

 

One is to export whether or not other 3d format, and another is difference of fellow products.

I will buy " Home Designer Professional" of $509.95, but there is another type software "Chief Architect Premier" over $1500.00.

I want to understand difference between the two software.

 

Another questions is to export whether or not export other 3d format from &510 version.

I plan to create game, so i need to export 3d format that blender and unity can import.

I know specially to export whether .3ds or .obj.

 

I'm sorry for making to read a long sentence.

I'm very fine to get reply!

Thank you!

I've quite frankly had some trouble exporting to 3ds Max and couldn't get the 3ds nor Collada format to work, but this was a relatively large model. DWG worked well though and gives layers but not materials. However, if I remember correctly Unity needs its own materials so it shouldn't matter. The Collada format worked for me when testing with Blender, but I think I lost the layers if remembering correctly.

 

Chief's web site outlines the difference between Home Designer versions and Chief Architect versions (although I'm not sure between CA and HD), and I would assume Home Designer would be enough to create interiors since you won't make drawings.

I don't think any of the home designer versions let you export any 3D models.  You probably need Chief premier or Chief interiors.

Check the feature comparison chart on the HD website

 

I don't think any of the HD products can export .3ds etc

 

only .DXF - maybe .DWG

 

contact CA's customer service for a comparison chart between PRO and Chief Premier

I think there is one but I don't know where

 

also Premier has multiple versions, Lite, Interiors, Premier Full

check CA's website for the price differences

Thank you Mr.Nicinus for replying me!

This software  can export .3ds and .dae too HD version, but both format (specially .3ds?) isn't exported well...

DWG is exported well, but that diffuse texture is lost is pained for me...

Although i could know that HD support exporter of .3ds and .dae thanks to you.

 

Difference between HD and CA i will study it.

Thank you!

I'm very fine to be given information from other user!

Thank you Mr.KilgoreTrout, Mr.Ibuttery for replying me!

 

HD version can't export the other 3d format?

Umm...

If your saying is true, I have to buy CA version...

Although I'm Japanese, i might telephone AC Customer Service with a lot of bravely.

But my English is too poor, I feel worried to report my matter to customer...

[pisubann]

I'm sorry to contribute continuity.

I'm specially fine to be accepted from user that have used HD version.

Thank you!

Lew is right I think , HD Software can import 3DS,DAE etc but can not Export 3D Models.

 

Export is DXF or STL (3D Printers)

 

you would need one of the Premier Versions, eg Interiors  

 

You can download trial versions of both , BUT the Trial versions do not allow saving or Printing of any kind...

 

If you are a Student perhaps you qualify for Academic Pricing ?

Thank you Mr.Kbird for replying me!

 

Your saying is true, i confilm Chief Architect product compare page and that CA version only can export the other 3d format except HD version.

And i understand to have to buy CA version to attain my purpose creating game.

 

For me experience $2000 of Chief Architect Interiors is very painful, because my purse is poor...

I'm not student, i'm 24 years old(^^)

 

I will deposit with effort to buy "Chief Architect Interiors" software.

I thank everyone replying me with beneficial information!
