  1. I am using HD Pro 2023. I realize after much experimenting that to achieve the realistic appearance of glass in any recent version of HD Pro, is impossible.

    There is no way to render a crystal clear glass texture that includes reflection and refraction attributes. I have managed to generate some realistic photo like renderings of designs using mainly lighting methods, but the glass effects remain out of reach. 

    I believe this is possible in Chief Architect versions of the software. Obviously that comes at a price. 

    So...I am wondering if realistic glass will make it into a future version of HD Pro, or if possible we could purchase plug-ins or add on modules that can be purchased separately to enhance the ability of HD Pro versions.

    There is such a difference in price between HD Pro and CA, can there not be something in between like a Home Designer Pro Max that could allow for plug-ins.

    Thanks

      Hi Savuti!

      We don't currently offer a module upgrade like this for Home Designer Pro. I'll bring this up with the team for consideration.

      We do offer a monthly rental of Chief Architect, this would allow you to make a small investment and gain access to the full suite of features available there.

      You can also download a Trial Version of Chief Architect and try out the rendering features that are available for free.

      If you would like more information about accessing these products our sales team would be happy to share more details!
