Houzz Brings Projects to Life With Photorealistic Renders
Furniture World News Desk on

Houzz, Inc., recently introduced photorealistic renders for the 3D Floor Plan tool
in Houzz Pro, the
all-in-one business management and marketing solution for residential
construction and design professionals. Pros can now take the 3D floor plans
they create with Houzz Pro software and generate lifelike renders with
real-world details like natural lighting, optimized shading and surface
material textures. Created in minutes, photorealistic renders are easy to
incorporate into client presentations to help current and prospective clients
better envision their finished space, expediting the decision-making
process.
“Our 3D Floor Plan tool is widely used by interior designers, builders and remodelers to
create more compelling client presentations. We heard from many pros that they
outsource renderings, which is expensive and can cause delays, and saw an
opportunity to offer a better solution,” said Alon Cohen, Houzz CEO.
“Providing photorealistic renders as part of our Houzz Pro software
gives pros a competitive advantage by enabling them to create more
professional, impactful presentations for no additional cost. It also helps
current clients make quicker, more confident decisions, reducing the time
spent on revisions and supporting a smoother design approval process.”
Generating photorealistic renders in Houzz Pro is quick and intuitive. From
the dollhouse and walkthrough views in any 3D Floor Plan, pick your preferred
angle, adjust the camera height and field of view and take a photorealistic
snapshot with the camera icon. Images are saved to the project within Houzz
Pro and can easily be shared with team members and homeowners through the
project Dashboard or attached to a Proposal, Estimate, Selections Board or Mood Board. Pros with a Houzz Pro subscription can create an unlimited number of
photorealistic renders taken as if shooting the room with a virtual camera at
a variety of vantage points to provide a more complete and detailed picture of
the design.
"Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Plan tool helps us to stay at the top of our game
because seeing truly is believing," said Trevor Fulmer, principal of Trevor Fulmer Design. "Clients want to be able to visualize their future home and understand how
all of the construction and design elements will come together. Photorealistic
renders are therefore a major selling factor that helps to push a project over
the approval finish line.”
The Houzz Pro 3D Floor Plan tool empowers pros to easily communicate their
project vision to current or prospective clients through 2D floor plans and 3D
models. In addition to photorealistic renders, pros can bring 3D floor plans
to life in dollhouse and walkthrough views or present an in-person augmented
reality (AR) tour on-site at the project using the mobile app.
“3D Floor Plans are the reason I switched to Houzz Pro,” said Will
Benoit, owner and founder of Zion Home and Building LLC. “Being able to scan a room and automatically create a 3D Floor Plan
that allows my customers to see how their home will look after a remodel is
huge for us.”
Photorealistic renders are available to Houzz Pro subscribers globally with
Essential, Pro, Ultimate and Custom packages. Learn more about the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Plan tool and subscribe to Houzz Pro at houzz.com/pro.
