Re: create own design furniture etc


  • The Create your own 3D Models heading on the models page will point you to Art of Illusion and Blender.
  • There are lots of other tools out there too, commercial and free, make sure they will save in a supported format.
  • For a plain cabinet with shelves, you could use SH3D:

    • Design your cabinet as if it was lying on the floor, rear side down.
    • Use walls to create the sides and shelves. Wall thickness = material thickness, wall height = depth of furniture, etc. Add colours etc.
    • Select 'model' and export selection as .obj format.
    • Import the model turning it upright (and adjust size etc).

  • Or you could compile a simple structure using boxes and grouping them when finished.
