Material and Object Libraries

[tcorbett]

I am putting together recommendations for my office to purchase various material and object libraries to be used primarily in VIZ. I am unfamiliar with any of the companies / products on the market.

 

What do you all recommend? I work for an architectural firm whose projects run the full range of markets and styles (Commercial to high-end residential, contemporary to classical). Also what recommendations can you offer on environment systems (trees, plants, skydomes).

 

Thanks! --Tom...

Not an end all solution, but the site www.3dtotal.com has three texture paks that have the textures set up as Max material libraries as a bonus. I do not own Viz or Max, but the textures look good and the site has some tutorials using the texture paks. I have planned on purchasing them because of their apparent quality and affordable pricing. They are architectural in nature and can be found at the above site under products.

Maybe you can try this one where you can find cars, people, trees and textures WWW.imagecels.com

I suggest the 3D-Total CD's as the libraries are allready set up for you.

 

I have "Professional Trees & Shrubs" from ImageCels and the quality is good (high-res TIFF + seperate Alpha-channel), but you need to set up each material on your own (no software-specific library included).

 

The Marlin Textures are also good. The old ones are on a rather low resolution, but quality is very good.
