Suggestions for furniture!

I am trying to furnish my new bungalow with similar to what we actually have in our 'real' bungalow, but can't find them.

Wall mounted 52" Samsung TV
4 drawer plastic storage drawers
drop-leaf table
Glass & chrome tables
Glass & chrome computer desk (with shelves)
Vacuum cleaner, such as a Dyson
Desktop PC

Is there a program for us to create furniture or is the only way to get the furniture is to suggest it to the designers?

Re: Suggestions for furniture!

You can find some of these objects in the free models page, and as suggested in the FAQ, if you want to create your own objects,
You may use any program able to create or export 3D models at OBJ, DAE/Collada or 3DS format. Among the free programs, start with Art of Illusion if you never used any 3D modeling program, because it's quite easy to learn and use. Blender is also a very popular program supported by a large community, but it's much more difficult to learn. Both programs are able to export at OBJ format and run under Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Re: Suggestions for furniture!

Argh! I feared that, I've tried dabbling with Blender a while back (2.61) and I have no artistic tallent or design flair at all. Looks like I may have to bite the bullet...

Re: Suggestions for furniture!

Art of Illusion is really simpler than Blender.
You could also give a chance to the version of Sketchup available for free, which is able to export in Collada / DAE format.

Sketchup] can be installed under Ubuntu using Wine and Winetricks (available in the Software Center), or by following one of the online tutorials .

Art of Illusion is written in Java, so it should run under any OS, including Linux-flavours.

Re: Suggestions for furniture!

And just in case you missed it, you will find lots of the items you mention in the 3D warehouse. If you download in .KMZ format (or .DAE), they can be imported directly in SH3D. ok
