In each of the above two images tehre is a render of a design and a photo of how the finished design turned out - can you tell which is which? Click on each for large images to make the comparison a little easier!

 

One thing that makes his work so impressive is that the kitchen's are not designed by 3D gurus - rather, they are assembled by designers and store assistants, based on customer requests. Libor's plug-ins optimize and simplify using trueSpace to make it a snap to put together a design, whether you are a 3D guru or not!

A few training videos are all that is required for staff to get the hang of creating a new look kitchen. You can see how simple this process is in the videos below. Note that these have been edited and recompressed from the originals, to reduce download size. You will also need the TechSmith codec from Camtasia to view, and you can download that here.

 

Click to view video - be sure to have installed the Techsmith Codec first This first video shows how to add cabinets to a kitchen design. With easily laid out libraries, it's simple to choose the cabinet you need, and then a quick click positions it flush to whatever you have already added!

The same process can be repeated for units up on the wall too, with the same ease as seen here.

A few simple clicks allows ALL the doors in the scene to be replaced with the equivalent doors from a different style, or all the door handles to be replaced with ones from another style.

As you can see, thanks to Libor's plug-ins, this is a fast and intuitive process that offers great benefit to customers and staff alike.

 

Above is a sample from Libor, showing the design not of one kitchen, but of a whole store for kitchen display. The overhead floor plan shows the layout of the entire floor area, while samples show how it would look from different locations. Click the above image to view larger versions.
