For furniture models that are not in Blenders native file format, you should always try to find resources that you can easily import to your projects. Among all formats available you will find that Blender works better with FBX and OBJ files. You will be able to import those models with no bigger issues to any project in Blender.
If you are producing assets 3D projects and want to make them “universal” the best option is to use either one of those formats. That was what an artist called “LuckyFox” when he created several furniture models for use with Corona Render.
The 31 models are available at the Corona Render forums and have a clear purpose to work with that renderer.
Besides having all the assets in a format such as MAX he also made the files available in both FBX and OBJ. You can download the furniture models and use them with Eevee and Cycles in Blender 2.8.
All files are in a shared folder from the artist's Google Drive. If you want to copy the files I recommend you to get them as soon as possible, because they could go offline at any moment.
Using Blender for architecture
Do you want to use Blender for architecture or render your projects using Cycles or Eevee? We have three books available that could help you!
They cover the use of Blender for producing architectural content and also all information you need to render projects in real-time:
- Blender 2.9 for architecture: Modeling and rendering with Eevee and Cycles
- Blender 2.8 parametric modeling: Drivers, Custom Properties, and Shape Keys for 3D modeling
- Blender 3.0: The beginner's guide
- Blender 2.8 for technical drawing
- Blender Eevee: The guide to real-time rendering with Blender 2.8
You can get them in both digital and paperback formats. By ordering those books, you will not only improve your skills with Blender for architecture but also support Blender 3D Architect.
