This is basically the free version bundled with all the free add-ons, which you can do yourself with the free version if you have the time to learn how to do it and do it (which is extremely easy by the way). The program is one of the best out there, however, because it lets you change the size of objects and customize them extensively. It does not have exactly the largest library of objects, but it is very versatile.
The best feature of the program for me, besides the ease of the learning curve and the great and quick photo rendering, is the ability to customize objects, and even create new objects without 3D cad software. Each and every object can be shrunk, expanded, stretched and skewed every which way, stretching all the features proportionally. You can resize and shift any object in any way, with or without retaining the aspect ratio. One of the best features is that objects can merge with each other, meaning that they can occupy the same space at the same time. The reason why this is useful is because you can modify and create your own furniture pieces very easily by basically Frankenstein together existing shapes, but changing their texture and appearance, and then merging them together. A coke can with a matte carpet texture can become a lampshade, a basketball can become an oval art piece or a circular concrete building block. The possibilities are literally endless, as far as your imagination can take you. You can then easily group the items together and have new custom pieces created entirely within the program. To illustrate, I have attached a picture of a vintage, 1920s cherry wood bed with built in bookshelf and cabinets. It looks very close to the original, and was created using only 3 pieces existing in the program. A shelf, a rounded shelf, and a child bed. By expanding and contracting the pieces, and then merging them and pushing them together with the same texture, the end result can be achieved. Throw in a light source and a couple of pillows and the custom furniture, 1920s period bed was created. Show me another program that will let me do this in 10 minutes, and then create a photo rendering in 15 seconds, all for 15 bucks. Also attached is a detailed representation I did for a client representing an existing home office and library room. The room was created by customizing and creating pieces within the program, and it is entirely made up of the stock items and textures that came with the program, except for one texture on the floor.
Fantastic product.
