Pool Studio 3D Swimming Pool Design Software Continues to Amaze

Probably not too many of you care about the “Pool Design Software”, but they’ve just added a new feature that’s interesting called “Instant 3D”.  From their press release:

The unique “Instant 3D” presentation system allows professionals to draw pools, spas, houses, decks and more in flat 2D and instantly present in interactive 3D. The material of any interior and surface created can also be changed with just a “click of the mouse”. Pool Studio features a real time terrain system that allows negative edges, cliffs, rolling hills, and other elevated ground to be created in 3D.  Designers can immerse the homeowner in every detail of their swimming pool project. Prospective pool owners can examine their future backyard design from every angle and see every feature and upgrade in convincing, real-time 3D.

Architectural design and demonstration tools targeted towards making pretty scenes for hopeful consumers is a growing market.  As CG becomes more and more commonplace in TV & Movies, more customers expect to be able to “previsualize” construction projects before ground is broken.

See a video of the software in-use after the break.
