Next Limit has released Roombox, a new tool that allows users to render AutoCAD plans in 3D. It allows users to convert 2D plans into 3D, then add furniture materials and lighting.
Rendering is based on Next Limit’s Maxwell engine and it’s Multilight function is also found in Roombox. This was one of the most useful features in Maxwell , allowing you to change the intensity and colour of lights after rendering has finished (Corona now has a similar feature).
A large asset library is included with licensed 3D objects from major manufacturers in addition to 3D assets and maps from the likes of Arroway, XFrog, Texture Haven and HDRI Haven.
Roombox offers cloud features including rendering and the ability to host galleries of 3D objects that can be shared with a team.
Pricing starts at €39.90 per month which includes 2 hours of cloud rendering or €30 per month for teams which allows you to purchase a minimum of 2 licenses.

what we should do now ??
every things going to be simple as that everyone can use!!!
we were specialist until rising these type of softwares :((((
When software takes something inherently complicated and makes it simple-stupid, it tends to severely limit the end-user (Keyshot for instance). Limitations to such a degree that I wouldn’t even classify it as 3D production software (Keyshot for instance), albeit, good work output is possible depending on the artist.
It is my opinion that the true negative about these simplified, “everyone can be a 3D Artist” software tools is how they cheapen other industries perception about what the 3D industry is. At the end of the day, the limitations of this simplified software are evident to the layman with enough convincing (if whatever production that needs 3D work done actually needs a production level tool that allows for appropriate scaling and management – in some situations a hodgepodge, dumbed-down approach is satisfactory).
Most 3D isn’t complicated for the sake of being complicated. It is complicated because the control and many variables involved are required to get the job done competently.
Annoying, perhaps. Worrisome, not really. My two cents.
If the only thing that separates you from your client or freshly graduated student is a learning curve of a complicated, soon to be obsolete software, then yes, you should really be afraid. Especially in next few years.
And that is good news.
If that is the case for an artist, then yes, they absolutely should be concerned. If you only know how to drag and drop materials and hit a button, you too should be really afraid. It’s a balance of both technical and artistic abilities.
terrible software
ban it IMO
and stop autocad users
