3D software at paint shops??? Don't get me wrong, but how much good can there be in supplying 3D software to paint stores ? Wouldn't it be better to supply this software to Home Depot, Builder's Square, Frank's Nursery etc . In other words, stores that supply tools and materials that might change the floorplans of a house or landscape. Whay would you need 3D software before painting a bedroom or kitchen??? Here's an IDEA of a similar nature: lets supply 3D software to Pizza Hut, perhaps the placement of mushrooms can be improved!
