The amount of work required to create a contemporary scene in architectural visualization doesn’t compare itself with the work required to create antique architecture. At least, some specific periods of history will demand a greater amount of modeling work from the artist. Just to name one of those periods, I could point out the baroque. Here in Brazil is quite common to find building restoration where most of the furniture in the building is from the baroque period.
This can easily become a complex project if you have to place furniture on the visualization. It is not easy to find libraries with baroque style furniture. But, at BlendSwap you may find at least a baroque style table created by 1D_Inc, which could help on such projects. The table is free to download and is licensed as creative commons zero!
Really nice model with amazing details. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
Planning an else one.
Released a next one, more complex, with links to Spider script.
