I would like to mention InteriCAD. It is a software that is a total solution for Interior Design. It can work from a sketch, a hand drawing or a photograph. It is fast and very complex. It has a fast and phenomenal 3D engine and one can produce high quality renderings with all the effects and scenes needed.
Comes with an extensive library of furniture and other accessories and if that is not enough hundreds of other items are easily downloadable form the forum. It is pretty pricey and it needs AutoCAD to run. I believe that the latest version comes with a built-in AutoCAD.
It is popular mostly in Asia and parts of Europe.
No news is good news.
