Doors and Windows

[mkofmainchester]

Good, morning, good evening,

 

let me get straight to the point: what kind of doors and windows do you use for your projects? I am talking about standard housing here, not a fancy Pritzker prize winning design. Do you use AEC objects, suppliers 3D libraries or do you model everything by hand?

 

I am predominantly focusuing in the 3d Max pipeline, but will listen also to other users gladly.

 

Any input appreciated.

I make a poly with a spline+edit mesh. (lets say 1meter wide and 1.2 meters high)

 

after that I apply connect on the opposing edges of the poly to get the gridlike look of the window.

 

I add thickness (7 cm) to the frame of the window with chamfer and then bevel it till I get the desired depth.(7 cm)

 

after that I detail it but it takes a couple of minutes to get it done.
