floor plans for CG rendering

[Guest Render]

Hi, everyone i an new member to this great site.

 

I recently want to start modeling and rendering some buildings or rooms in Maya or Softimage XSI. Though i lack the ability to draw floor plans, i was wondering if anywhere online i can download some jpegs floor plans and evelations so i can use to, to recreate them in 3D? Or does anyone have any floorplans of there own? this would be my first time doing something like this.

 

thanks in advice.

I think is better to design your own one.

 

mmmm try with the plans of the great Renzo piano architect.

HeDaCoM, thank you for a great site reference!

Actually it would be great if i could design my own floorplans in AutoCad and used them, but i lack knowledge in drafting and how to use AutoCAD.

 

But you provided me with a good site, thanks.
