Original designs 🔗
When you start modeling furniture and other interior models, you may feel the need to unleash your imagination and create original designs. While this can be very satisfying, it is not always useful.
The majority of our interior design 3D models are used by architects and other ArchViz creators. To produce the most accurate work for their clients, they are searching for objects that actually exist in reality. Knowing the manufacturer of the pieces is also helpful because clients can then easily buy them.
In general, we recommend sticking to reality when you are still learning how to model. Focus on creating a sense of real-world proportions, realistic materials, textures, etc. Find inspiration in online furniture shops and catalogs. The more you train, the better you get. Once you master the field, you may return to skillfully playing with your imagination.
Thanks and enjoy the ride!
