MakePlace – An Interior Design Simulator

MakePlace is a PC app that lets you drag-and-drop furniture and edit floorplans. The goal is to make interior design easy and fun, like playing with Lego. It started off as an app to simulate housing in an MMORPG, since the furniture system there was atrocious. I'm now trying to adapt it as a simulator for general interior design. Like many 3D design software, there are a bunch of tools and controls, and first-time users may feel somewhat lost. So I've made a starting tutorial to help ease users into the controls. Do you think the tutorial works well? Let me know what else can be improved!

In plain words

MakePlace is a PC application for interior design that uses drag-and-drop controls to let users arrange furniture and edit floorplans. Originally developed as a housing simulator for an MMORPG, it has been adapted as a general design tool. The software includes multiple tools and controls typical of 3D design applications, so it features an introductory tutorial to guide new users through its interface and capabilities.

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
