anyone know where i can download furniture like corbu chairs mies van de rohe etc.

 

also, when i insert a 3ds model into an existing scene i can't get shadows to appear and they are not excluded

Hi Daniel,

 

Check in Object Properties and make sure Cast shadows is enabled.

i think http://www.ultra3d.com is a good source of quality models for free. they might not have exactly what you are looking for, but the registration is worth it.

You can get a very accurate model of the Barcelona chair through http://www.Knoll.com, they have the license to make the 'real' version. Go to their site, download the plugin for ACAD, then frmo there you can access all of their furniture and place 2D and 3D symbols. Save out and import into max, and viola! a better model than I've seen anywhere, for free (there are some issues I've had with GI, but Smooth - Autosmooth takes care of most of them).

I believe they'll send you a free CD if you request it. It's a very extensive library, and it's all stuff you can buy.

 

http://www.Hermanmiller.com, the manufacturers of all Eames's designs and Aeron chairs has superb models and textures, for free.

 

http://www.Buildingenvironments.com has more 'real' furniture for free.

 

http://www.e-interiors.net is another source for manufacturer sponsored models (which, you can safely assume, are far more accurate than most 3D models).

 

http://www.turbosquid.com has some nice ones. It's sad to find how many of the above models are sold there for a decent price (I've sold ones that I made, but they aren't near the quality of the real ones - which I discovered not to long ago).
