3D furniture models

[nodar1978]

one question:

most of the time furniture companies have a 3D models on their web-sites, for different formats, max+vray, dwg, 3DS, obj, and many more extentions.

Can anybody tell me in which softwere they are mostly made? and what is the main principes in making them?

What are the standards you have to control while making them?

The best example which comes in my mind now is turbosquid.com

 

if somebody can help me with this question i will be very thankfull

thanks in advance

I am unfamiliar with furniture companies, that sell physical furniture, providing 3D models on their websites. I have a little experience with turbosquid, however not that much. From what I have seen, it seems the bulk of the furniture modeling has been done in 3DS Max or Rhino. The extra formats that are available are usually just exported versions of the original model. That is to say; a .3ds/.fbx/.obj/.iges file is most likely just an alternately-saved version of a model done in 3DS Max, Rhino, C4D, Sketchup, etc.

 

Standards are a very loose topic on Turbosquid. Anyone can upload a model, so there will be a wide range of quality. There are a lot of furniture models that are as perfectly modeled as one could imagine, then there are also many that look like a first year design student whipped it out in 10 minutes. They have a "Checkmate" program that they certify models through. If you buy a checkmate certified model, I believe you would be safe in assuming it to be of the highest quality. Other websites probably have similar programs.

That link is to my collection (mostly furniture) on turbosquid. If you want to relate some of your questions specifically to my pieces I could probably be able to be more helpful.

 

Main principles are similar to any model. Purpose intended, Computer resources used, Quality vs. Price, etc...
