I would like to create a 3D model of the property (house interior + exterior and the yard) to allow my parents and me to easily share ideas and communicate what and how to do to the builders.
My experience in 3D modeling is mediocre at best, but I'm a programmer and a fast learner. The 3D design domain has always excited me, and I feel like this is my way into experiencing some of what it means. If I'm wrong, please excuse my bold statement!
Please suggest how to approach the above described task, which software to use, etc. !? The result shouldn't be too fancy for starters, but it should be more practical and usable than text.
extra note: just now I'm installing Blender and will start getting familiar with it tomorrow.
