看它已经有光影跟踪了

室内装修的二线人员岂不要下岗了？

的确，你好象对CHIEF很熟悉，如果我是老板，只要培训几个门面的销售人员就可以马上学会了，对家庭装修这套软件已经是绰绰有余了，至于圆方在强大的CHIEF面前就象一个小丑一样了。

当年Luckjim再ABBS鼓动大家学习、使用ArchiCAD的时候也把ArchiCAD捧到天上。我就心痒了，我就上贼船了，我就……后来才发现，实际上是……然后我就……反正现在还在郁闷。

一失足成千古恨啊！大家千万当心！用不上先进的软件无所谓，耽误了挣钱就罪过了。

切切！

ZOOD

这小子又在说我的坏话了，我没贬AC啊，CA是室内设计领域的快枪手，根本不可能抢AC的建筑CAD市场，是提高室内设计生产力和销售的最佳帮助。

chief architect 以前的弱点之一就在渲染方面，现在渲染加强了就太棒了！

我也是因此而坠入泥潭，不可拔:8

这条贼船还不错啊，可悉插件太不易得到， 不用插件做点复杂的东西又累。
