Whenever you have the opportunity to start working on a furniture model for a project in Blender, at some point, you will need to gather a few materials and textures for that model. A common type of material used for furniture models is fabrics, and the guys from AmbientCG added a couple more to their library.
What is AmbientCG? That is one of the best online libraries to download materials and textures for all projects. All their resources are available in the public domain, meaning we can use the materials for any purpose.
Once you find a material you want to download, pick a resolution and file format. There are options to download either JPEG or PNG files for those materials.
You should take special care when choosing the proper type of fabric for a furniture design because this plays a significant role in the visual and aesthetics of the furniture. Most designers spend a considerable time trying and testing different types of fabrics for their furniture, and with Blender, we can easily swap between materials.
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.
