Floor Generator preview


FloorGenerator is a script for 3dsmax which generates floor objects consisting of individual boards which can easily be textured using MultiTexture.
It’s a great tool if you’re doing architecture visualization and need to make floors that are NOT going to tile and that you can see up close without any pixelation.

-Create floors inside any closed 2D shape object
-Control width, length, gap size individually
-Randomly rotate, offset and tilt boards
-Interactive update to get instant feedback
-Fetch settings, to work on an existing floor later on
-Assign textures randomly using MultiTexture Map

3D Furniture - IKEA Furniture 3D Models

http://www.polantis.com/

For those of you seeking to find IKEA furniture, IKEA kitchen cabinets and other IKEA projects in 3D for use in AutoCAD, Google Sketchup or other 3D rendering software, I’ve found a gem of a project by skulking around over the Internet.

Through @polantis, I discovered that Polantis.com offers over 90 3D IKEA objects.  Polantis is a project developed by Architects for Architects, but Interior Designers, decorators and even DIYers could benefit greatly from this free service.

Objects can be downloaded in .max, .dwg, .png, .rfa, .dgn, .skp, .pdf and more. The user’s manual isn’t complete yet, but the system seems pretty self-explanatory. What a great addition to our design arsenal!
