BeLight Software updated its Live Home 3D home design software to version 5.0 in September, adding a new Render with AI feature. You can now turn your 3D layouts into photorealistic generative AI renders with over 260 interior and home design style presets. In addition to bringing full compatibility with macOS 27 Golden Gate and support for Liquid Glass user interface elements, the release also added the ability to flip and mirror individual objects or entire projects, enabled you to import your own 360-degree panoramic images as project backgrounds, added integration with Sketchfab 3D objects, and introduced user accounts for easily sharing in-app purchases across platforms. Version 5.1 was issued to improve the Cloud AI Rendering dialog so that you can keep working on your project while the current render is in progress. For a limited time, BeLight is offering a $20 discount on both the standard and Pro editions of Live Home 3D (on sale for $59.99 and $129.99, respectively).
