1.  The limited-time free trial period shall ends on the 16th November. The site will not be shut down for maintenance but you might encounter minor instability. All your designs will be saved safely under your account.

2.  After the free-trial period, HD and Ultra renders are going to cost Homestyler points, and 4K render shall be limited to paid function (as well as watermark removal and render editor). All other functions, from floor planning, to the free use of 50,000+ models, to creating unlimited projects and  generating unlimited standard rendering, shall remain accessible for all users.

3.  Please be aware that the rendering function in the old version shall be limited afterwards. You could still do designs under old version but cannot render. (However, all your old designs will not disappear and you could convert it into new versrion anytime later.)

4.  We decided to remove the limitation on 2D model/texture upload. All users could upload unlimited 2D models and up to 100 3D models, and paid users get to expand the volume.

5.  For Homestyler Design Award 2020, we will open the preliminary selection on the 16th, Nov but we decide to prolong the design submission period to the end of November. (The number of Ultras/4Ks will not be our judging criteria.)

• If you redeem different types of memberships at one time, the one that is more superior shall come into effective immediately and advancely, followed by the membership period that is less premium.

1. Limited time free trial and render limits:

For the new version, we would limit some advanced functions to paid members only like 4K render, Render editor and watermark removal. But we will remain the rest functions accesible for all users, allowing thorough and comlete 3D interior design from creating rooms, dragging furniture from massive model library and HD/UltraHD renderings (some may cost Homestyler points).

We are glad to offer a limited-time free trial for all users now and during this period (2020.10.15-2020.11.16), each user could have up to 20 UltraHD renders and 10 4K renders per day, for free and even do no deduct your HS points! 

2. Design conversion:

In order to use Homestyler V3.0, you would need to convert your design into new version. Due to the huge amount of conversion tasks, there may be queueing problems. Hence we recommend you to submit the conversion task when you are not occupied and only convert the ones that you need to work on.

- Once the conversion is done, the new design will show up in "My Design" with the name of "V2_xxx".

- To avoid queueing, each design is allowed to be converted once per day no matter succeeded or not. In case the conversion fails, you could convert it tomorrow by re-entering the design.

- After you click on ok to convert, you will be led to a blank initial design interface. You would need to open the corresponding coverted design to start modifying.

3. Model Conversion:  

Since we have upgraded the model processing function and revised the modeling requirements, all personal models would need to be re-processed in order to be used in the new version, and some old models will fail to be converted. If the conversion fails, the models will disappear when being rendered in the new version. Please check the cause of failure for upload, revise the model according to the new modeling requirements and upload them again.

4. Export Product List:

The new version does not support product list export for the moment. We will upgrade the function as soon as we can. If needed, you could use the export function under the old version by cliking on the "Back to V1" button on upper right corner of the design interface.

5. Language:

The new version only support English for the first stage. However, you could use Chrome browser's translation function. Follow the instructions to open the function and the browser could translate in design interface for you (tutorial link: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/173424).

6. Left-click:

To better adapt to most designing habbit, we have switched the "model edit" function from right-click to left-click. If you would like to replace the model/ replace material / flip / delete /duplicate the furniture, please left-click the item and select the corresponding function.

7. Tutorials:

We have uploaded some basic tutorials for the new version on the website ("Learn" from the top navigation bar). More advanced tutorials will be coming soon.
